I saw this tonight and was a bit disappointed, although it’s worth a watch when it hits Shudder. A fun watch but it could have been exceptional. The idea is that the broadcast is intercut with behind the scenes footage. The broadcast footage of the fictional 70s late night show is really well done but the behind the scenes footage should have more of a feel of realism to raise the stakes but many of the supporting actors were still doing kind of shticky performances in those scenes too. It keeps it from ever getting creepy. There are some really cool scenes from the broadcast that end up getting wasted, especially the ending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 They’re making a "Halloween” tv series. Not sure what service it will stream on. https://screenrant.com/halloween-tv-show-sooner-than-expected/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepard Wong Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 The Halloween legacy sequels all premiered on Peacock during their theatrical run so that would seem to be the best bet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hputenis Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 I’m over 2 hours into "Beau is Afraid” for the first time which I’m embarrassed to admit. Ari Aster is probably my favorite horror director since Hereditary and Midsommar. This movie is so weird. Spoiler It’s visually fantastic and nobody other than Joaquin Phoenix could have played this awkward role. I don’t really know wtf I’m watching, but it’s painful and awesome at the same time. This movie goes in so many strange directions, and I wouldn’t let any of my close friends know I like this movie. I felt similar to this the first time I watched "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” and now it’s one of my favorite movies. Anyway, this movie makes me cringe, laugh, and feel funny in my pants all at the same time if that makes sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the Pope's Exorcist the other night and liked it more than I expected to. Creepy with some cool humor. Really hope they make a sequel with Crowe's character. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell Crowe was pretty good in this (he usually is). It got a little cutesy toward the end but overall it was decent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they made a non-horror movie about his character just doing normal stuff, I’d still watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerpat Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Started rewatch of Evil Dead tv show. I don’t think there’s another horror series that hits on every single iteration like this one does. Have yet to be disappointed in any of the remakes either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As horror franchises go, ED has by far the best batting average. Not one bad entry anywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hputenis Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 I just saw a pretty good one that was recommended on Shudder called "Baghead.” Pretty cool story and terrifying entity. I’d recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hputenis Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 I can't recommend the newer "Wrong Turn" enough. Other than the wokeness, there are fantastic plot twists, and it goes in a direction you would never think. I actually wish it had a different title, because it's not a remake of the original at all (which was also fantastic). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hputenis Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 @mikemack8 Have you seen "Talk to Me" yet? It's fantastic. That and Wrong Turn are 2 of the best I've seen in the last couple years. However, neither of them touch Midsommar in my opinion. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on some of the old school horror recommendations I've seen from @Shepard Wong, I would guess that he has some sort of a torture basement. With that being said, I have off today, so let's watch some Necromantic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Omega Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I’m definitely looking forward to watching it but, the title. Spiders are not really known for their "sting”. Maybe there’s more to it. Or maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
