@Duke Dixon Some of the 'Saw' sequels are remarkably well done in my opinion based around the fact that there's really not much to go off of for most of them. They are really just throwing shyt at the wall and it's wild how some of them still work. There are a couple of the sequels, however, that I would say are unwatchable. 'Saw 3D' is a complete piece of shyt, for example. I haven't seen 'Saw X' yet but it got really good reviews.

TCM 3D is kind of a hidden gem :salute:! I guess most people give the edge to the 2003 one, which causes this one to not get its credit. But I watched it back not too long ago, and it's pretty good in its own right! I can't think of many "3D" Horror movies that actually hold up as well...Maybe My Bloody Valentine.

I really friggin like it. It's got some of the Audition's dreamy creep vibes and a conclusion that made me rewatch it over. So far this year, it's in my top-two of horror movies along with Talk to Me. But to be fair, I think this year has been light on top-tier horror.

Vicious Fun:
This was my second time watching Vicious Fun, and it held up as a really entertaining horror-comedy. It has a great sense of humor, the actors are all clearly having fun, and I love the assortment of "killers" we get. It's nice to see the movie start from a somewhat realistic place, and go further and further into the shenanigans. By the time we get to the ridiculous police precinct stuff, it's just chaotic glory.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes:
I haven't rewatched the Poughkeepsie Tapes in a while, but it's kinda gone from an overrated found footage horror movie to a pretty underrated one. I see people hate on it because it was so overhyped when it first came out. But this film has a lot of nice touches.

I really like the "tell, don't show" trickery. They tell you about his most heinous crimes and how the worst footage affected everyone who watched. But they only show us the stuff that leads to the worst moments, then leave the rest up to our imagination. It reminds me of how effective Exorcist 3 was when describing crimes after the fact rather than showing the murders.

Also, the footage of the killer in his basement, creeping on victims, will forever be haunting stuff.

The Witch in the Window:
I threw The Witch in the Window on the list because I remembered enjoying it as a smaller-scale horror movie (also, the short run time is nice during this long marathon). It's less a witch movie and more a ghost story on film. The dialogue and acting can be a little shaky in the slower first half-hour, but that lays an excellent foundation for the relationship between the son and father and the importance of the house. There's also a great moment set up by a phone call, and a conclusion that felt fitting.

My issue with this one is a lack of big scares. The jumps didn't land great, and the rest of the scares are more vibes than big cathartic moments.

Finally got in The Wicker Man. I know it deals with pagan worship, but is it ok to show to someone who's a little religious? Like is there any real disrespect towards Jesus and such? We saw Children of The Corn and it had its moments, but I kinda don't wanna watch a movie (with someone) that's a bit extreme like that.
