Malum or the last shift? I've seen neither

I feel like most people prefer the Last Shift. But everyone I talk to saw the Last Shift first. I wonder if seeing Malum first might change that...probably not, go with Last Shift, and if you like it give Malum a shot for the higher production value and tweaks to the plot.

Breh thanks for looking out for me. I went on Reddit to read opinions. Everyone said the same thing 1-5 are the ones to watch then bounce.

I saw that they turn into Nazis basically slapping the series in the face

I might watch the other two in the future but I know for a fact I won’t be watching the rest.

I would have wasted my time

I got your back fam, it's similar to Hell Raiser for me in terms of falling offer. The reboot turned the puppets into an attempt at a fourth reich, and also took away all of the features that gave each puppet personality. It went for schlocky gore and edgelord humor...a literal running gag was the puppets only targeting minorities ...though, at least it had some good kills by the end.

It's definitely worth saving your time and moving on to a different franchise, or even some of the other Full Moon movies from the 90's when the good Puppet Master films were dropping. Castle Freak and Subspecies were the other big ones.

I picked up one of the ongoing series when I found the run in dollar boxes. Legit had me when I saw them.

I forget which Puppet Master movies I've seen. You are right they used to be on TV all the time. I know I've seen 3 and 4 but I don't remember and thing from them besides that's when certain characters debuted.

The only other Full Moon movies I've seen are The Demonic Toys, Dollman VS The Demonic Toys, Castle Freak, and Shrunken Heads.

Those Puppet Master movies were pure hidden gems, and always affordable. I remember getting a DVD collection of the whole series for 10 bones.

Full Moon was awesome in the 90's. They leaned more and more into the comedic stuff by the 00's...Gingerdead Man and Evil Bong are Full Moon's later contributions, which is pretty meh. But as a 90's kid, I remember Full Moon being reliable for entertaining flicks that would pop up on the Sy-Fy channel randomly.

I rewatched the original Saw for the first time in a long time. It's always fun to bring fresh takes to an old movie. Quick random notes:
- I remembered the acting being bad, but it's even worse than I recalled for a bunch of characters with few exceptions.

- Some of the plot beats and decision-making are really dopey too.

- But this shyt is still somehow a masterpiece, I swear!

- The traps became a hyper-focus after this one, for good reason...but the best aspects of the OG Saw are the mysteries about the characters and the Escape Room elements. The characters are all connected to the hospital, and the clues to escape put the dots together.

- Also, the characters aren't cartoonishly bad and unlikeable. I feel like we got further and further away from that. These people were pretty normal, but flawed. It's a far cry from the dirty cops or drug cartels that Jigsaw takes down in the later movies, and it switches him from a horror villain to a bit of an anti-hero...which sucks. Keep Jigsaw SCARY! Make his victims relatable and easy to root for escaping.

- I'm not sure if I have patience to check on the twists in each ensuing iteration, but I'm pretty sure the series suffers Shyamalanification too...just way too much focus on slipping in plot twists. But maybe considering how much I forgot about the original Saw, maybe not.

...don't suffer through it. But to atone for not finishing, you gotta watch Reeker or some shlock like that.

To each their own. I just can't do it man.
The over the top white trash characterisation. I guess that worked on other rob zombie movies here it...... Just felt especially with the original Halloween where his parents were pretty much normal. Dialogue made me wanna claw my ears out. Sometimes.... Its good to dial some things back.
It does have a good soundtrack I'll give it that

95. Hellhouse LLC Director’s Cut Felt like I always see mixed reviews on this. First time watching and it was decent.

I thought the interview parts were corny. I was high af yesterday and it had me thinking I was watching Dateline lmao

The actual footage and the aftermath was fire though. The second half of this movie reminded me of Blair Witch and Paranormal activity, which I’m a fan of

We finally agree on something breh. I enjoy Rob zombie first Halloween. But you know how it goes, you either like zombie or you don’t
