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. Wife and I watched The Lie the other day and it... wasn't great haha. She kept saying it was more like a Lifetime movie. It also wasn't horror-related in the least. It was a "thriller" at best. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished Bly Manor last night and it was . . . fine. I stand by my earlier assessment that there were just too many elements in the story that didn't ultimately really factor into the story, and the framing sequence really didn't work for me (she just told a 10 hour story?). I respect what they were trying to do, but thought it could have been more effective with some editing and simplification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Who else would watch this every year when Bravo would air it around this time?

dawhizz Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Finally got around to starting some horror movies last night. Started with We Are Still Here on Amazon Prime based on the fact that I didn't have a lot of time and it's 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it didn't really connect for me. Others on my list that I'm hoping to get through in the next two weeks: 1BR The Girl With All the Gifts Under the Shadow Climax House of the Devil The Houses October Built Rec Bone Tomahawk High Life The Lighthouse Triangle Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd watched that and have absolutely no memory of it. Usually means it wasn't so bad that I hated it and wasn't good enough that it left any sort of positive impression (or I feel asleep during it).

radiatorhums Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Finished Bly Manor last night and think it was mostly a dud. The 8th episode was fantastic though and is probably the only one that matched Hill House's quality. As a few people have mentioned, it would've been better if it was 5-6 episodes. I don't think the uncle's episode was needed at all and the valet's story was kind of a bore too. Focusing solely on the main four and the two kids would've helped a lot. The biggest issue for me is that I didn't really care what happened to anyone. Think this type of story only works if you're invested in the characters and here I just wasn't.

Subdomestic Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) 12 hours ago, jonrawks said: 25. Prom Night Did you watch the 1980 version or the 2008 version? I watched both in the past week or so. I liked the old one but the copy that was on Prime was so fuzzy and dark that I would find myself distracted by how poor the picture quality was. I get that HD wasn't a thing then, and it's a fairly low-budget Canadian film, but it looks like someone played a VHS tape on an old TV, filmed it with a camcorder, and then uploaded it. I liked the story though and it was generally entertaining and well done. I found the 2008 version to be very straightforward, predictable and boring.

I thought I hadn't seen it before, but everything seemed just familiar enough where I must have at some point. It was fun seeing Leslie Nielsen in a serious role. I haven't seen the remake, but I'm sure I will at some point. I'll keep my expectations low haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 The Prom Night sequel is one of my favorite horror sequels of all-time. Jacob’s Ladder was the movie last night. Haven’t watched It in years and man that really holds up. So good. Mothman Prophecy was the movie tonight. Never saw it before and it was okay at best. I fell asleep on and off too so that didn’t help. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hope y'all had a good halloween! I decided to make a day of it. Ordered a pizza, drank a nice selection of beer and watched a bunch of movies. Don't remember the last time I had such an unproductive day, pretty fun and very relaxing! 29. From Beyond 30. Phantasm : Ravager 31. Friday the 13th part VI : Jason Lives / A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2 : Freddy's Revenge / Shaun of the Dead / Trick 'R Treat / Halloween (2018) / WNUF Halloween Special Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Wife and I ended up watching: - Alice, Sweet Alice - Hell House LLC - The Exorcist III (directors cut) Was my first time seeing the directors cut of E3 and man it was so good. Probably cemented it as one of my favorite horror movies. Brad Dourif is a god. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdomestic Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) I watched Us last night and really enjoyed it. I don't think I even breathed during the scenes where the doubles first show up, get into the house and Red "introduces" them. So tense. So well done. Otherwise my last couple weeks of movie watching has been a little all over the place. I have watched Friday the 13th 1-8, Body Count (1986), Prom Night (1980 and 2008), Waxwork, House, Amityville Horror (1979 and 2005) and I'm sure there are others I am forgetting Edited November 1, 2020 by Subdomestic radiatorhums and Rip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen it since whenever the DVD came out. I haven't seen the sequels, but I've always been real curious about III. I see it mentioned regularly enough that I feel like I'm missing out on something haha Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a double feature out of the 1st one followed by the 3rd. The 3rd is the true direct sequel to the 1st one anyway. It was the actual follow up written by the writer of the first one. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
