Slice wasnt as bad as some people are saying it is, but it was definitely.....off. Something weird about it that didnt quite work.

Lots of new horror to watch. Slice, Mandy and Unfriended are all out to download now in good quality. Really looking forward to watching Mandy.

Mandy was 10/10 pure insanity.

Unfriended: Dark Web was alright, I liked the first one better. Ending to this one was pretty unsatisfying.

Peeped Mara this weekend and it's pretty solid but generic. They basically took sleep paralysis and made a legit horror movie out of it...and that's not a bad idea. The creature is cool and thanks to the sleep paralysis aspect, instead of typical jump scares; you get characters trapped, looking for where "Mara" is. Sometimes she's just standing still, so you can't tell what you're seeing until she moves. It creates a jump effect with the tension building but doesn't cheapen it or overuse it. They also rarely give you a good look at the creature, less is more has always worked well in horror imo. On top of that, they really did come up with a logic for why people get haunted and how the haunting passes itself along. All of that said, it's not reinventing the wheel so if you're looking for something new; it's not really here. It's a pretty heavy Ring inspired plot right down to how the dead bodies look. You'll see some deaths coming a mile away and there's not really any major twist on the usual formulas. But that being said, I've seen a lot of movies screw up even the most generic copycat stuff; while this one at least had a nice concept to build on with the sleep paralysis thing.

Nothing special, but for a horror fan this one's decent enough to throw on if you're low on reliable options.

I just read that Bruce Campbell is going to be here at our Fanboy Expo next year. And yes, I immediately turned around and did this:
