    Yeah Curse of Chucky stinks. The first two are good. The third one from what I saw was a mess.

    Thoroughly enjoyable from front to back. Not a dull moment in the entire thing, honestly. The setup for a sequel seemed a little unneeded, but I get why it's there.
    When you watch it, don't freak out about dead pixels. It's not your TV, they're in the movie. I wonder if one of their cameras had a problem. 8/10

    Is its stupid length justified?

    I was entertained. If you had told me 5 years ago that in 2021 I'd have two Snyder movies nearing the top of my 2021 favorites, I would have laughed in your face, and then punched your face, and then felt really guilty about punching you in the face.

    I fell asleep watching it last night. But that might have been the long week and pint of gin more so than the movie.

    Even being the huge horror hound I am, I find 2+ hour horror movies whose lengths are legit and justified to be few and far between.

    Most horror flicks should be 90-100 minutes usually. However I'll give 2 hour ones a pass if they're great or good.

    Watched M. Night's The Visit last night. I thought the surprise reveal near the end was actually pretty effective, but everything that followed was just disappointing. [

    Hated that kid so much.

    I love the soundtrack. And how gleefully gory it is.

    13 Ghosts (1960) is a decent horror flick that I enjoyed a lot. It kind of loses steam near the end but I was still left satisfied. Also I dig the line "Don't ask me no questions and I won't tell you no lies." I wish the ghosts had been more freaky, though.

    Skull: The Mask (2020) -- 4/10

    (My Letterboxd review.)

    I was promised a super-gory romp and I feel a bit mislead. If you watch a lot of horror you've definitely already seen many gorier movies. The biggest problem with the movie is that all the action scenes -- aka the gory murder scenes -- are really disjointed. Either they went overboard with the editing or the director didn't shoot enough footage. I suspect the latter. The sound design also feels severely lacking.

    One of my biggest frustrations is that we're never given a satisfying mythology for the mask. We understand it's sacrificing people, but to what end? It's after some kind of artifact, but why? Why doesn't the ritual at the beginning of the movie work? We're given "otherworldly" glimpses at the god its working for -- at least, I think that's what it is -- and while the design of the god is pretty damn cool, and the imagery around it is also pretty damn cool, it's just not enough to lift up the movie. At the end, it really just feels kind of like it fizzles out.

    Also, you can tell the film makers REALLY like wrestling. Like, it's ridiculous how many people Skull Dude just bodyslams over and over.

    The Last Drive-In with Joe-Bob Briggs showed Things tonight as one of the movies, and since that is my GSG review for the month, I decided to watch it with him. I ... honestly don't know if I would have made it through it in a single sitting had Joe-Bob not occasionally interjected. Its ... something.

    Hah yeah I watched Things also tonight. So bloody awful in every way.

    Last week's double bill was better. Train To Busan deserves a full review from me and Spookies is a hilarious mess.

    We were supposed to have a MC watch party for that movie. But it was removed from Amazon Prime.

If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I've seen some godawful movies in my time. Things is one of the worst films ever made.

    Went into Conjuring 3 with tepid expectations. Surprisingly, I rather enjoyed it. Not sure if it’ll hold up on repeat viewings.

    I remember being kind of meh on the first sequel, but enjoyed it more and more on repeat viewings.

    My initial thoughts on the first Conjuring was that it was excellent, but didn’t stick the landing. In hind sight, I was so sucked in that I missed a thing or two that helped with the ending. Anyways, if you liked the first two Conjurings, give the third a whirl.

    I've now seen all 3 Maniac Cop movies. Did I need to watch any of them when I still have a stack of better movies to view yet just sitting on my shelf? No but Maniac Cop 2 is the best one of the series.

    The People Under the Stairs is such a freaking weird movie.

    Tonally all over the place. Cannot decide if it is a horror comedy, a horror, or a comedy. And Craven just writes such awful dialogue. Some of it is cringe-inducing, especially his attempts to make the black characters "sound black".

    There is some kind of masterful social and class commentary buried under this mess. It's there. But it's only barely visible below the ugly, inconsistent surface.

    Everett McGill at times seems to be trying to channel Jim Carrey or something. So weird.

    I don't hate it, because there's enough good there to keep my mind going while watching. But that also makes it even more frustrating when that goodness is so hard to see.

    Such an odd movie.

    You didn't mention the oddity of having the actors who played Ed and Nadine in Twin Peaks playing a couple here as well - and the movie came out when everyone knew who Ed and Nadine were.

    And even weirder, that here they play a couple who are also brother and sister.
