Army of Darkness is a great movie. I thought it was just another horror flick but I was so wrong. The comedy and imagery really made this movie special.
Signes was a good movie too. It delivered the scares the way I like 'em. It's hard to explain but the best example is when you see the alien walks by in the home video.
That was a piece of masterwork because the scene makes you move closer to the screen to try and see what everyone's looking at and then... about two seconds of a grainy image walking by. That scene never fails to give me a start.
I think what made it work so well was that I could definitely see that being on the news. And the lack of details just made the alien look less like a CGI character and more like a part of the world it was prowling.
