6.5 is kinda low
I think we should end with a
definite watch or
only if noting else is on
I have like 6 different categories of horror movies between “definite watch” and “nothing else is on”.
Because the husband and wife weren’t that attractive to be leads in a movie. She was giving off Maggie Gyllenhall vibes. He did all that for
HER type of behavior. Call me superficial but it is what it is. I wasn’t even going to watch at all - it’s in the category of “play in the background while I work so I don’t get bored but end up paying attention to the movie more than my work” lists. Which is above my category of “put on a horror movie to relax for my mid-day nap/lunch break from work, before I pick the kids up from school”.
Halloween kills is my Definite Watch category - “ DND alert: no one is to bother me, not replying to any texts and will not return any phone calls in the next 24-48 hours, grab snacks, clear out my Friday schedule and if I am watching with friends everyone needs to shut the fuk up/no talking or exit my premises” bc I’ve been waiting months To watch this particular horror movie. That’s the Category Level 1 - Definitive movie watching event category for me.
I also have the “leftover shyt on Netflix that’s been on my watchlist for 4 years to watch when nothing else is on” category.
Because of the ending, I’ll bump “Held” to a 7.5 though. It’s in the “you should watch, hidden gem” category.
