It’s still a lot of fun to laugh your way through them

    If you’re on this binge and want some recs. “Talk to me” and “late night with the devil” are my favorites so far this year. “Longlegs” was really bad imo.

      Talk to me was one of the first horror movies in a long long time that actually got to me, highly recommended if anyone is on the fence

        That one scene in the bedroom got me good. Had some trouble being alone in the dark after that for several days. Thankfully I have doggies and a wife so not sleeping alone. I would have prob had to sleep with the lights on otherwise.

        I found it super corny personally and knowing how it was going to end 20 minutes into it’s showtime wasn’t helpful in that opinion. I think I’ve just grown out of horror (not trying to say it’s childish or anything just shit at phrasing). Main girl was very good though.

          Some parts were for sure, and I wasn’t a fan of the ending either

        Been considering renting Talk To Me, these comments convinced me, thanks!

      Late night with the devil was such a neat movie.

      Yeah, really liked Talk to Me.

      V/H/S Beyond is alright as well.

      Salem’s Lot is awful.

      Quiet Place Day One was surprisingly decent.

      Haven’t got around to watching The Substance yet, but I’ve heard good things.

        So disappointed by 'Salem’s Lot, and my expectations were not high.

          I can’t believe they had the gall to release it in cinemas. It’s got “straight to streaming” written all over it.

          They must be actively trying to hurt theatres at this point.

      Longlegs could have been very good but they fucked it hard. The “lead” detective, the M. Night Shyamalan twist, and too much Cage hurt it bad. The final scene with Cage was amazing but that should have been the only real look at him.

      “Late night with the devil” was really good. Touched enough points to be good but not over the top. Run time was perfect.

      Yeah, longlegs didn’t impress me either. Its a great looking film, with some decently creepy moments, and a cool setting, but yeah, in terms of horror, nothing new or particularly memorable.
