But my 12 year old thought is was perfect so I guess job done. I’ve heard it’s a great “gateway” horror movie for younger kids and I’m always here for that.

It’s honestly one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen. Maybe it resonated with me so much because I grew up with a lot of Catholic beliefs forced upon me and now I’m not religious at all or what, but I was blown away with pretty much every episode. I didn't grow up Catholic, but I was raised Evangelical, so the religious themes of this show still felt sinister to me in a very deep way. To me, Bev Keane is 100% the villain in this story, and reminds me of I don't know how many people I was raised by/went to church with/am related to, with that infuriating level of sanctimonious judgement and self-righteousness. I actually really felt for Fr. Paul, he seemed like someone with a sincere heart trying to do right but in a bad way. Bev was just completely fucking reprehensible (but PHENOMENAL acting by the actress who played her, no criticism there!) Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also wanted to go to a haunted house for the first time this year - problematic because he is definitely afraid of the dark - so I made plans with my friend and his daughter and we all went out to a local place that has five different haunted house (all of which are actually pretty good) and I'll be damned if he didn't love every one of them. Hopefully he'll have a thirst for more horror, but I'm slow rolling it for now. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 I checked out the two newer Scream movies and just wasn't impressed. The cast was boring. I really just wanted to see the old characters who weren't dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really liked Host and His House and liked Scream VI more than I expected. Managed to squeeze in Evil Dead Rise, Train to Busan, and The Omen. All fun ones!

radiatorhums Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 That's an impressive list! How was Slotherhouse? It looks dumb and fun, pretty curious about it. lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fairly stupid, and not always in a good way. One of those movies you have in the background while you're doing other stuff. I do like some ridiculous movies like Snakes on a Plane, Sharknado, Cooties etc., but this movie was more of one and done. There were some funny moments. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwokeinrelief Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 We finally finished Fall of the House of Usher a couple days ago - I thought it was fine, but I'm not crazy about this structure when there really isn't any "present day" narrative to speak of - I know that each episode around one of the kids is present day when compared to the Roderick/Madeline-younger flashbacks, but they are still all *flashbacks* - Hill House managed to balance an ongoing narrative with flashbacks which is way more effective to me, this one just never felt like it had any real stakes since everything (excepting the very final scene) had already passed. SO, it was better than Bly (but to me only by a bit) and obviously better than Midnight Club because i thought that one was really bad. Midnight Mass and Hill House remain unfuckwithable.

iwokeinrelief Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 I really enjoyed that new Hell House movie on Shudder - doesn’t break any new ground in the found footage genre, but is actually really well done with some really creepy scenes.

lexicondevil Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 I just watched The Babysitter Must Die and I really enjoyed it. Seems to get crap reviews. Maybe I just have bad taste. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're 5 episodes through 30 Coins and it's awesome. Very Twin Peaks-esque in that it's weird and leans heavily into soap opera melodrama. Great (at times subtle) world building that expands as the series progresses, and a few Carpenter-esque creature designs. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwokeinrelief Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 We’re up to “live” on 30 Coins (new episodes on Monday, I’m assuming 3 more to go for season 3) - it’s wild. I was genuinely shocked by one scene this season. It’s a ton of fun, much darker in season two, but just bounds of creativity. Obviously I highly recommend it. Struggling like crazy to find a movie we want to watch though ☹️ was hoping to work a couple in before we started Scavengers Reign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
