10. Bloody New Year - The Bear

From director Norman J. Warren, Bloody New Year is a weird, weird movie.

Released straight-to-video in 1987, this film focusses on a group of young adults stranded on small island that just so happens to house the haunted Grand Island Hotel. What follows is a bizarre horror film that lacks any real scares for the majority of its runtime. Sure, our core characters are chased by three angry locals while this is all going on, but the sheer lackadaisical way that these characters react to any supposed terror means the audience has zero stakes in this tale.

When the kills finally do come, one of our protagonists dies from a scratch to the face, another is punched through the stomach, and then that stomach punchee turns into a borderline zombie as Bloody New Year descends into chaos.

Still, one good thing to come from said zombie-ish shenanigans is that this possessed, dead/not dead sort brutally finishes off a chap named the Bear. You see, Bear is one of the aforementioned locals stalking our central group. When it comes to his death, this bland bully of a man has his head turned fully around not once, but twice. Yep, double head twist!
