Finished "Gerald's Game", which I remember reading in November 2003 when I was 17, at my cousin's house on Thanksgiving, felt awful, had been doing coke everyday, and was just worn out and a mess. I went into his room and found this book and read the whole thing that afternoon, which was disturbing and strange on top of everything else, but captivating.

I think the adaptation worked very well, hard to to watch multiple times towards the end, visceral reactions to the cutting. I think Flannagan's direction is a little flat and sterile, but he's very good at this. I don't know about the dude snapping off the cuffs, I was waiting for her to wake back up in the cabin. I remember the book being a lot more detailed about Gerald's abuse and power control issues, but it's been like 15 years since I read it, may be time to pick up a copy.

So far I've watched...

Slumber-Party-Massacre-80s-films-647113_328_500.jpg


The Slumber Party Massacre series... first one is dope and is a satire pretty much the precursor to the Scream series. The other 2 movies were wack but entertaining... The sequel has one of the strangest killers...a rock singer with a guitar/drill and he randomly pops up it has a twist tho. The 3rd movie is some straight up early 90's cinemax sh-t...has a lame breh in it that gets killed with a real estate sign..:mjlol:

Phantasm 3

When I was in the 5h or 6th grade this was my favorite because of the characters... has a kid in it who kills grown folks with hatchets and a gun and the back lesbian broad who used nunchucks.

And finally got around to seeing the French fllick Raw... which was a solid fick IMO. Main character and her sister were great in this.

Just gave cult of chucky a chance since it was on netflix.


Yeah. It was terrible. It's not funny enough to be a comedy,and it's not horror enough to be horror. It tries to do balance both and fails at both.


Bad acting,low budget,bad directing,this really gross looking cinematography.

The best I can say is chucky made me smirk a couple times but that's about it


3/10

Also watched rings.


I can see why this sat on the shelf forever. The studio knew they had a stinker on their hands.

Try basically try to remake the first film. But the lead actress is no naomi watts. And we already know the mystery of samara and the tape. So this time they try to solve the mystery of samara's mom. And there's more footage on the tape now! They even use the exact same type of ending except you're expecting it so it doesn't work.


The actual cinematography and directing is nice,it's just the script sucks. The opening and closing scenes are horrible.


This same director is making "the crooked man."

It's not the worst movie I've ever seen but it's just been there done that but worse.

This Chucky opinion is blasphemy. You take it all back now.

Haven’t seen rings but also had no desire to. After ring two I waved bye bye to that one

I love Phantasm 3. Its like they embraced the full on fukkery of the concept and just went wild with it. Its my favorite of the whole franchise.

I actually think one of the things Don Mancini does well with this franchise since its resurrection with Curse of Chucky is make everything look good despite his tiny budgets.
I give him props for that scene where the asian chick dies just for how stylish it looked. Had a Brian DePalma feel to it.

Also watched rings.

Rings was hot garbage. I'd put it on the same shyt level as Amityville Awakening.
