Recent Horror Watches quick thoughts:
- Exit 8 is the most accurate video game horror movie, maybe ever. But considering how little there is to Exit 8, the game, that's a gift and a curse. It's really cool for the first half, but kinda drags by the end.
- I finally watched I Know What You Did Last Summer, and you can put me in the "meh" column. It kinda felt like they said "let's copy the Scream requel." That actually works for a decently entertaining movie, but this shyt went full camp by the ending. I commend them for some risk-taking at the end, but it didn't work for me, and it kinda takes away from the first two.
- Rewatched Weapons...it's still crack in my book.
- Finished up Hell Motel, it really is another Slasher season through and through. Same formula, same level of campy humor, and the fun "twist" that becomes predictable by the final third of the story. This one's middle-of-the-pack as far as Slasher seasons go, but I put it comfortably ahead of the bad ones.
- I've tried to get the hype behind Horror in the High Desert, but it's not for me. It skips past the most interesting parts of the found footage, and spends way too much time on the mockumentary side. I get why it does that though, because the budget shows when it lingers on the "creature." That's in spite of them using night vision and similar camera tricks to hide the effects.
