Watched Ice Cream Man today. Clint Howard sells it pretty good. Watched it when I was young, has some dry spots but the camp helps. It’s full on YouTube from what I’ve seen for whoever’s interested

Edit: the body parts on the ice cream is pretty gross

Hopefully they make up for that Peninsula bullshyt.

Heart Eyes is decent, but predictable. The comedy was mostly meh and it has fukkin cringe dialogue. I bet the writers thought they were clever using romcom comedies to use in one scene. This slasher isn’t gonna have the legs of other franchises. Basically filler.

Main actress looks like a Julia Stiles clone.

My Nikka Art got a documentary

Official New Full-Length 'Terrifier' Documentary Hits Streaming Later this Month

Why? It’s too early to act like he’s some special antagonist. Took Chucky, Freddy, and Jason decades to get their docs.

Cross posting here. We went to see 'The Monkey' last Friday night and it was entertaining. It got a little goofy in the second half but we laughed and enjoyed ourselves. The first half of the movie was legitimately good.

Also, last night we watched 'Heretic' and THAT was really enjoyable. It's up on Max now. I love these creepy "what the fukk is going on?" horror mysteries and I'm also a big fan of religious horror so this was checking a lot of boxes. There's some interesting themes here. I saw some people say they didn't like the ending but I didn't see a problem with it. Also, Hugh Grant was chewing the fukk out of the scenery, it was great.

Wolf Man

...atmospheric, dark, yet slow and dull

The Wolf POV was the only highlight

I kinda agree. I think Terrifier and Leone deserve a documentary because of the story behind it and impact (no funding, completely independent, and broke every rule for successful distribution). Art the Clown is great, but Leone is the true star to me.

I guess there's real hype about having the first true slasher/killer icon of the millennium though (unless you count Jigsaw). Art's become recognizable even to non-horror heads, whereas Leone and the franchise lore are for the real horror fans.

He’s still underground to me. Victor Crowley status. I’ll say it has gotten attention from casual horror fans, but even then some aren’t over him.

My homie, for example, and this guy I chopped it up with because I recognized a horror shirt he had on, seen the first 2 movies but not the third. I haven’t even seen the third. If horror fans aren’t in a rush to watch them, I think it’s telling.

The POV was the only thing I can give positive praise. Movie is just average at best, but forgettable.

I'm not too sure about the rush to watch, but it's definitely got a big audience.

Terrifier 3 is the highest-grossing unrated movie of all time. It was a top-five grossing horror movie last year and the movies it lost to were blockbuster types (Alien, Smile 2, Longlegs, and A Quiet Place). So, even if it's not as big with the general horror fans, it's hit a crossover appeal you don't see with many horror franchises.

Art was practically the face of Spirit of Halloween stores last year. It doesn't even make sense to me because he's such a grizzly character. But I think the kills are what turned up the theater audience. I know people who went to see it in the movies just to see if anyone in their audience passed out or left.

I had been excited for it after Invisible Man...but the response from viewers has left me like, "I'll just wait till it's on streamers."

Recent watch:
The Damned

A 19th-century widow has to make an impossible choice when, during an especially cruel winter, a foreign ship sinks off the coast of her Icelandic fishing village.

Usual trailer warning attached: After the first 30 seconds, you're better off deciding to watch or not because it starts giving away the scares.


This is a ghost/curse story, but it's more about the atmosphere and characters than the haunting. The cinematography makes the landscape shine and the acting is really great, carrying an otherwise slowish plot forward. But there are visual scares throughout, which keep it firmly in the horror genre rather than being a ghostly drama.

Vibes-wise, it's definitely inspired by Robert Eggers. It's a period piece with powerful cinematography. It's also an isolation-horror, where tension rises and the characters get increasingly paranoid (more Black Mountainside than The Thing). That said, this plot doesn't hit like the top dogs of the isolation bucket. It's a genuinely good effort, but not a must-see.

I give it a firm 6.5/10 (that's pretty good for my typical rankings). It's worth watching for the immaculate marriage of sound design and cinematography, but far from perfect.

It’s gore porn. I didn’t realize it made almost a 100 mil. Thought it was way lower than that.
