I've got a small list going. I'm going to do 31 movies again this year. Usually try to do a mix of favorites, older things I haven't seen and some new releases. This is what I've got currently.

Rip Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 I personally really enjoyed Mockingbird. Pretty sure most people hated it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy and I were working on a list the otter night, we’re trying to get to 31 of movies either him, his wife, or I haven’t seen. If all 3 of us have seen it, not going on the list even if it’s a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't heard of it until recently. Curiosity for The Dark and The Wicked had me on Bertino's IMDb page and made me realize there was a movie of his I hadn't seen. Figure it'd be a good one to save for October! Edited September 22, 2020 by jonrawks Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Now it has been quite a long time since I’ve seen it. Like... I bought it the day it came out on DVD and probably watched it that day and that was it. I just remember enjoying it but then afterwards I felt in the minority haha.

radiatorhums Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Had a lot of fun with week 1! This year I mapped out the whole month with a blank spot each week for a newer release. Seems to work better than trying to figure out something to watch every night, haha 1. Critters / Critters 2 double feature 2. Phantasm 3. The House by the Cemetery 4. The Slumber Party Massacre 5. Oculus 6. Scanners 7. Tokyo Home Stay Massacre Rip and lexicondevil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 What’d you end up thinking of Occulus?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some nitpicky things that I didn't like, but overall I thought it was a pretty good. The way the past and present crossed over reminded me of Hill House at times. Starting to think maybe it's just his King adaptations I don't like. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Damn really? I thought his adaptation for Gerald’s Game was perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it right around when it came out and don't remember caring for it much. I will give it credit for being a pretty faithful adaptation of a book that was seemingly unadaptable. I also really didn't like the ending of the book and the movie takes a hit because of that too. Carla Gugino was perfect casting though!

dawhizz Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Anybody watch any of the Welcome to Blumhouse movies that came out on Amazon? A couple went up last week and I think two more today. Might fire one up tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han Solo Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'm genuinely trying to give The Haunting of Bly Manor a chance, and I'm four episodes in, but I can't help but feel let down so far. I don't enjoy it as much as the first season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't enjoy it as much as the first season It’s slow to get going, but honestly, episode 5-onward is just amazing. Do I think it’s better than the first season? No. But I also don’t think it’s fair to compare them. As similar as they are, the stories are too different. Han Solo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdomestic Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I just finished the last episode of Bly Manor. I enjoyed the beginning and the end but I just felt lost through episodes 5 and 6. I don't want to spoil anything but I feel like the middle went off course without explanation. The ending was satisfying. The story was good but not as scary as Hill House. I think the pacing would be better if it was five or six episodes instead of nine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Bly Manor, I'm sharing similar feelings as most of you. I watched episode 3 last night and feel pretty underwhelmed so far. It's interesting enough that I'll watch it al the way through, but I can't say I'm dying to start the next episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm two episodes in and am enjoying it although they seem to be juggling a bit too many elements at the moment. I think it helps that I'm using it as kind of a start to my Halloween/horror movie watching experience this year - if I had started with some of the horror movies I have in my cue, I think I might be bored/impatient with it, but as an appetizer it's serving its purpose. It doesn't help that I'm not very impressed with performance of the actress playing Dani. Edited October 14, 2020 by dawhizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I would say more on the bad side, haha. I appreciated that it was a cam movie because that was baked into the plot (and not just a way to make it on the cheap) and the clown's story was pretty fun. It didn't feel like a lot happened in the other two stories and the 'challenges' never seemed clear. There were also parts where it was so damn hard to tell what was going on due to the camera work. Decent idea, poor execution. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Watched Evil Eye (Welcome to the Blumhouse) last night and thought it was a perfectly acceptable way to fill a Sunday evening. It's not doing anything too new and plays out pretty much how you think it will, but it's made well. Sunita Mani is great as always.
