7. Is Hocus Pocus, I think you just counted wrong.
8. No this is a generic haunted house one.

This movie is so messed up. It's got that Hereditary thing where even when nothing supernatural happens, they still hit you with a bunch of depressing ish and awkward situations. The end goes off the rails, but not in a bad way...just in straight chaos and weirdness.

Forgot to write about this one. So we made it to 'Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan' and I had been looking forward to this. I had not seen it in a while and it's always been sort of a guilty pleasure for me. You can't not love breh boxing Jason goin straight at him, lookin like a young Sugar Ray of course u know how that goes lol.

Here's the problem though with the movie. Once they get to Manhattan it's pure fukkery and highly enjoyable. I appreciate them going for something different. But it takes fukking FOREVER to get off the boat and into what we all came to see.

100% and I'd add that Jason Takes Manhattan has way more of a NYC vibe than the last Scream did (one of my main complaints...call it NY and shoot it in Canada, wtf). The funny thing is that they didn't shoot more in NYC because they had no budget for it. They came up with this great idea, couldn't afford it, and tried to work around the constraints. The quality of the end shows how much potential they were messing with.

Ridley Scott Says Upcoming Alien Film Is 'F**king Great' According to Director Fede Álvarez​

https://www.ign.com/articles/ridley-scott-says-upcoming-alien-film-is-fking-great-according-to-director-fede-lvarezhttps://www.ign.com/articles/ridley-scott-says-upcoming-alien-film-is-fking-great-according-to-director-fede-lvarez

Álvarez said work on the director’s cut was completed a week prior to his October 14 appearance at the DGA summit. One of his first moves upon reaching this production milestone was to put it infront of Scott, who is acting as a producer on the project.

“Even if he didn’t ask for it, I was gonna go there and sit at a table and look at him and get it,” said Álvarez. “Even if he was gonna say, ‘You destroyed my legacy,’ I wanted to be in front of him and see him in the eye. I didn’t want to get an email where it says ‘Ridley says…’.”

Scott directed the original 1979 filme that kicked off the beloved sci-fi franchise and returned to helm the fifth main instalment Prometheus and its 2017 sequel Alien: Covenant. He watched the director's cut of the latest entry in the Alien universe on his own, as a nervous Alvarez waited nearby for the verdict.

“And then he walks into the room and he did say: ‘Fede, what can I say? It’s f**king great.' My family knows it was one of the best moments of my life to have a master like him, who I admired so much, to even watch a movie I made, but particularly something like this... and talk to me for an hour about what he liked about it. One of the best compliments he said was, ‘The dialogue is great. Are you the writer?’ Yes!”

I needed to take some time to forgive Fede for that awful Texas Chainsaw Massacre rendition he helmed. But considering he's behind the Don't Breath movies and Evil Dead requel...I'm pretty hopeful about this (plus with Prey's success, maybe we can get back to AvP movies but with better quality this time).

I forgot that on Sunday I watch F13th Part VII: New Blood and Jason X

Jason 7
I take back before what I said about Tina. I'm glad she's in this movie because she's the most interesting thing. I think the added too many teens to have a high kill count. They weren't able to give them enough screentime. The MPAA neutered the kills.

Jason X


I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or not but I think Jason goes to Hell is better.



Tonight I'm going to watch Victor Frankenstein. I'm really in the mood for some Gothic horror movies. I might also watch Sleepy Hallow.

I cant argue with this

the rest of the movie is pure crap, but that opening

Ghost Ship Still Features Horror's Best (& Goriest) Opening Scene

Though fair-to-middling in many ways, 2002's Ghost Ship has an opening scene as brilliantly bloody as they come. It helped the film find its audience.

I watched Halloween III: Season of the Witch

Banger

Main character looked like Drake in a wig

He started banging dead dude’s daughter 20 mins in


The only thing I really want to nitpick is how it’s suppose to be about witches and sacrifices but the villains seem to be robots.???

I bet Halloween fans were pissed when this dropped when they realized there’s no Michael.

It went from most hated to a cult classic in recent years.

catching back up

1. Trick r' Treat (Prime/Apple TV) - Still one of the best DTV movies made, its like the director was on some F Them Kids


2. 30 Days of Night (Prime/Apple TV) -one of the best Comic book movie adaptations out there, brutal no explanations, just drops you right in goes there

3. Let's Scare Jessica to Death (Paramount+/Prime/AppleTV)- Basically David Lynch Before David Lynch, very cerebral movie , i like the fact that it intentionally did not answer big questions

Spoiler

(vampire twist)

and let the plot play out, you can see a lot of modern day influences in this film

4. Possessor (Hulu) - nice Sci Fi body horror mashup - very Lo Key - the main character was on some F them Kids at the end of this one as well


5. High Tension (Tubi/Prime) - the tamest of the early 2000's French horror renaissance, but still a great movie, the level of dread in this is off the charts, the gore doesn't hurt either

6. Deep Red (Shudder/Vudu/Pluto/Plex) Argento with a splash of Hitchcock, classic

7) _ Free pick- House of 1000 corpses - The devil's rejects' is a better movie - but this is my favorite of the series . Dr. Satan>>>>>

I watched 'Terrifier' this evening. This might be unpopular but I thought it sucked. I wanted to see why it has such a cult following and after watching it, it's unclear to me. I like a good low budget slasher don't get me wrong but there's like zero story to it and it seems like it only exists for the gruesome kills and to me it all came off very try hard. Also, why is this skinny clown so difficult to keep down. If I stab someone full force in the top of their foot trust me, they ain't walking fukkin anywhere

It’s gore porn. That’s why people like it. The kills are brutal. I still get when I think about the PAWG getting split up. And the clown is basically a demon, so there’s that reason for why he’s hard to “kill.”

The second one is a lot better with actual... plot and characters Director a lil self-indulgent with the runtime/lengthy scenes but an improvement on the first movie.
