SAW II
...the first dope oneset the bar high, and the others that follow could never top it
And, that's my Unopopular Horror Flick Opinion![]()
this is why i described LVOTD as "safe". It was a well executed movie. It was just safe and didn't take any risks. But I definitely want to see this again but in 4k because it looked good on the basic AMC theater screen.I'm torn on Last Voyage of the Demeter. It's as pure a Dracula movie as you'll get, inspired directly by a chapter of the Bram Stoker novel. The only limitation is that you know where the film is headed from the opening scene. But this is a Dracula movie done right IMO. The acting is really strong. The ship is claustrophobic at times without the locations wearing out their welcome. Dracula is treated like a beast more than anything else, which feels like a nice change of pace for the character.
But none of the scares landed for me. I never felt the tension, and the jump scares barely registered. I assume Dracula was CGI, but regardless I didn't think his design was great. So, I feel like this was a good movie that whiffed on all the most important HORROR aspects for me.
I definitely see what you mean; it's pretty by the book about it but well executed. It's cool for keeping the traditional feel; kinda made me want to revisit the 90's Dracula movie with Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder. I haven't watched that in a hot minute.this is why i described LVOTD as "safe". It was a well executed movie. It was just safe and didn't take any risks.

CastTo be announced
The latest film by Japanese horror master Takashi Shimizu. It’s the birth of a new bloodcurdling horror queen, following in the footsteps of Sadako from Ring and Kayako from Ju-On: The Grudge. Prepare to be haunted by Sana, a young girl who delivers a cursed melody that infects all those who hear it. Shimizu’s Ju-On paved the way for Japanese horror films and even saw a Hollywood remake. In recent years, he has delighted audiences with original works like Howling Village from the smash-hit Terror Village series, and now he's back to his horror roots with his latest film.
SynopsisYou, too, will find yourself humming the melody.
It all started with a cassette tape.
Sana is a mysterious middle school girl who collects “the sound of soul.”
Everyone who hears the melody gets possessed and starts to hum it themselves.
At the end of the cursed melody’s chain of infections lies an unexpected terror waiting to strike. Just what is Sana after?! Once you hum this melody, it will be your undoing.
“Did you get the cassette tape?”


. They list Jackie's character in the film as "woman" though, but clearly, the character's image is in Jackie's likeness. I bet people were pissed off back then, but the outrage today would be wild.
. There's a tone with the series and Freddy's character Craven portrays that the other directors can't replicate. Films 2-6 are the ones where you just put on for fukkery purposes while you smoke. The first and New Nightmare brings an aura that demands to be taken seriously.
