🙂😃😄😁🎤😫 One of the rare examples of a sequel being dramatically better than the original film. Pro-bono therapist that's still wealthy? Gone. Troubled pop star anchor? Yes. This uses the same jarring transitions and continuous toying with ...

AND THIS IS WHY YOU NEVER EVER TOUCH ANY, ANY PART OF THE WALK OF FAME. Visceral, gross, drenched in nudity and vile body horror. I was nauseas after watching this, even as it descended to the utter, deranged absurdity of the ending. I'll also note that in...

🏰🧛🏻♂️ Of course that was Bill Skarsgård. I had no idea, but he's also perverseley skilled at bringing the most vile creatures to life on screen. Artfully crafted, dark, immersive and drenched in atmosphere. One of the few horror movies I'v...

God? No god. 🧛🏻♂️🪓🚜 Certainly not in Barrow, Alaska. Yet another Josh Hartnett in a horror movie movies that I loved more than anyone reasonably should. The scenery is beautiful, the gore is visceral and if you're going to Alaska — bri...

Over the top and absurd in all the best ways (as is often the case with good movies from the 80s). It's unserious in a way that's not unlike Buffy and there's blood, gore and practical effects in abundance but...it manages to delight in its own dorkiness. ...

What’s the one true religion? I suppose it may well be cruelty and the drive to inflict pain and your beliefs on others. I’m loving late career Hugh Grant — the roles he’s been cast in lately feel riskier and more challenging than his earlier caree...

This thing starts at a run, quickly picks up speed until it hits a dead sprint and then slides into a horrifying finish greased by blood coating the victims and the protagonists. It's unbelievably difficult to free yourself of an evil that feasts on human ...

One of the few horror movies in recent memory that I've found to be both genuinely and unexpectedly terrifying. It's all tension, practical effects, basic human failures and a touch of the supernatural. Devastating.

She loves me more. A decent enough horror movie if you can get past it show its hand early on that the real horror — the true evil — is generational trauma and abuse. Maybe I'm wrong, but momma being the only one that can see the evil and the tale told...

🦌 A lesson about respecting the environment told with the set dressing of a horror film. It succeeds by focusing on the narrative it introduces and avoiding a heavy-handed lecturing directed at the viewer. I loved it. Jesse Plemons is perpetually underr...
