Might be a tad much. Just a tad
:poohwhat: I do need to update my custom smiley list upon review
Lmao..I had to zoom in once somebody pointed out that smiley. Do you mean Otho from Beetlejuice..?Lol....
Yes lol Otho. Don’t know why I called him Owen. Homie must’ve been Owen in something else. Love that character
I thought it was that character, Corky - from that one show that used to come on in the 80s or 90s...lol. Not offensive to me

Latest horror I peeped, mainly because it was there on the firestick.
Incident in a ghostland
Incident In a Ghost Land (Ghostland)
Honestly the influences of a few horror movies I loved were all involved in this but somehow it still fell a bit flat for me. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre feels were obvious pretty early along with an early bit that reminded me of High Tension. Where they veer on those though, is that they added a bit of ghost mystery to the whole ordeal. So you get a psychological horror where you're often disoriented or wondering what's legit and what isn't. That said...to pull off twists and surprises, you gotta let things sink in and this didn't pull that off. Most bits felt rushed and disoriented bit felt more like poor storytelling than an intended impact. The murderers were just not scary either. I like what the creators were going for tbh, but they needed to tell a more complete story and let things resonate. It's not the worst popcorn flick if you just want a quick, fairly intense experience. The opening scares are actually pretty good but the intro is where all the genuine potential stays imo.

"Life Goes On"
.... lmaofff...yup.... how do yall come up with this??!... 
spoiler that!!! lol.....there needs to be a film room smiley section only for the rotation...
That sounds like it would also be similar to Wolf Creek, combined with Ils (Them) - that French horror movie, with the added ghostly elements, that you stated.

Yes! Wolf Creek is pretty much the type of horror they went for but jumping into the tension even faster. I'll warn that Wolf Creek was a movie I really enjoyed, whereas Ghostland was one that I more or less appreciated the attempt but didn't like close to as much. I really think they had a great premise but rushed their payoffs. I haven't watched Them to compare, but after checking the trailer out I'm adding it to my horror list for checking out.
My review of the open house
Ohhh ok. I missed that connection..lol.
