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

        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.

        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 couldn’t get through Talk To Me.

      The teenagers were written to be so off-puttingly obnoxious, I ended up walking out of the theater early. Loved the concept though.

      My favorites this year have been the new V/H/S film, Abigail, and Festival of the Living Dead. All this talk of Salem’s Lot makes me want to watch Midnight Mass again.

      I know I’m the odd one out, but I haven’t enjoyed most of the critically-acclaimed horror this year.
