I absolutely loved this movie. Completely gorgeous. The cinematography was great. And there's so much creativity involved with it.

I want to think they probably used a trick of editing to make it seem like it, since there was so much going on and it was really like whiplash and they purposefully made it as hectic as possible.

However, she was also very likely roofied, so even if she did see her getting killed, it might have been because she was hallucinating from the drugs and alcohol.

I want rich people to pay their fair share in taxes. They do not currently.

Problem is that rich people are the ones making the rules, so guess how likely they are to change it.

I hope you learned some stuff about some horror movies and have interest or severely waned interest in some cases for a lot of films and TV shows! I'll put both years together here in another post later!

105. The Color of Space (Shudder)

I start with Nicholas Cage, I might as well end with Nicholas Cage. I wanted to finish with something I hadn't seen that I knew was great, and I went with this.

The Color of Space is about a strange meteor that crashes by a family's home, and their descent into madness as it starts to mess with them.

I have no clue how to even discuss this movie. It's gorgeous and terrifying all at once. The visuals are completely astounding, from the bright colors and wild visuals, to the actual horrifying parts which are a nightmare to witness. Like fuck. Some stuff is going to stick with me here.

This might be Nicholas Cage acting at his best. And him and the family all just losing it in different ways is so good. I love seeing the dynamic between all of them slowly start to devolve as they're trapped with this presence. And good lord this movie doesn't pull a single punch at the madness. Just all of a sudden just losing it while everything escalates, and by god does it escalate.

Just a completely chilling, extraordinary story that I was gawking at for the majority of it. Completely fantastic movie. Highly recommend checking it out! I was extremely happy with it.

Rating: 9.5/10

104. V/H/S 2 (Tubi)

So I was trying to figure out what to close my night off with for spooky season, and I went with something easy. An anthology series!

V/H/S 2 is about more anthology horror shorts, like the first one.

Like I said before, I never know what to say in these but I feel like this movie is better than the first V/H/S. Basically, these take full advantage of the found footage concept by just doing creative things with the genre, rather than just being some found footage movies. The first is about a man who has a cyber implant that ends up summoning ghosts. The second is GoPro footage of zombies. The next is just a bunch of hidden cam footage infiltrating a cult. And the last one is a camera attached to a dog during an alien abduction.

It just takes this concept and does something even cooler with it. The stand out is definitely the one with the cult. Good god they go all out for this one and it feels like it could have been its own film. I loved it quite a bit and that alone is enough to edge it out over the first VHS.

Like I did last time, I'd like to take a look at some of the directors for this again:

Adam Wingard (again) - You're Next, Blair Witch, Godzilla vs. King Kong
Eduardo Snchez - The Blair Witch Project, Butterfly Kisses
Timo Tjahjanto - May the Devil Take You, May the Devil Take You Too, The Night Comes For Us, Train to Busan Remake (and I trust this dude to make it)
Gareth Evans - The Raid, The Raid 2, Apostle
Jason Eisener - Hobo With A Shotgun

Overall, I think this is a better showing than V/H/S 1. So if you want to see some creative anthology horrors, check this out.

103. Antlers (Theaters)

This movie is a good time and a good story.

Antlers is about a boy who is taking care of his father who is becoming more and more feral, and a teacher that tries to help him.

This movie does a lot of things really well. It's a twisted folk story that is unsettling for a vast majority of it. Keri Russell and Jesse Plemons do a great job as well. The story stands out as facilitating these grisly moments and haunting imagery, while also not showing you a complete ton, but showing enough at the right moments.

I don't have a ton to say about this movie, but it's absolutely worth a watch. I loved the way that the story unfolded and thought it did some really awesome stuff with the idea and didn't pull any punches when they very reasonably could have because it gets twisted and dark really fast as some points.

Great movie. Check it out.

Rating: 7.5/10

102. Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin (Paramount+)

Uh, this will not be the reboot to the franchise they wanted. But it was fine.

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is about a girl who finds an Amish brother. Wanting to meet the rest of her family she never got to know when her mother gave her away, she joins her brother to go back to that community when Paranormal Activity Things happen.

So this movie is just the same Paranormal Activity stuff you've seen for the majority of the run time until the ending. What it does differently is put you in a setting with the Amish, and also they don't focus on the spooky demon stuff as much during it. It's a switch on a formula that feels better... but also not that great?

Like the Amish thing is interesting to me squarely because I used to live in Pennsylvania, which had a big Amish presence. But even then, it just doesn't do much interesting with the film, and while the characters are probably more interesting than the usual ones, they're still... well, horrifically dumb.

All of that said, the new setting is welcome. That's what made Paranormal Activity 5 stand out. And it has a legitimately good last act. Like, it's nothing like anything you've seen in these movies so far and it escalates quite a bit and gets fucking wild. I liked all of that a lot. If you end up starting the movie, it's worth sitting through the whole thing for that.

But bafflingly, there's parts of this movie where they add in noises and stuff and I was like "Did they just... have someone, in the universe this movie is set in, edit the film to have more spooky shit in post?" And then there's scenes where they just... don't use a camera. Like, there's no conceivable way a camera should be filming it, but it still has it there. It's jarring for a movie like this where they go "Fuck it, who cares," especially for scenes it probably would've played better without it. And then there's a moment where they show off slow-motion with these kids and I'm like "Oh, I guess they're going to slow down some footage to solve a problem." NOOOOOOPE. It's used solely in an action scene to look cool, meaning someone in-universe edited that in post too! It's SO STRANGE.

Some plot spoilers. They establish what is happening in the movie at the end. And when they do, they also prove that NONE OF THIS SPOOKY PARANORMAL ACTIVITY BULLSHIT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. There is no demon spirit fucking about. So it's this glaring plothole they don't give you time to think about until after the movie is over. It's like they just added this shit in to have spooky ghost stuff but there's no reason for that to happen as they explain it in the film. I was completely floored when I thought about it after the movie ended.

Overall, the thought that they expected this movie to come out in theaters is nuts. It's not great. It wouldn't bring that much more life into the franchise. But... it's still pretty good at the end for a Paranormal Activity movie? I dunno. That's my review. You can decide for yourself if you want to watch it. It gets carried by a great last act and a fresh setting.

101. Last Night In Soho (Theaters)

I think I mentioned this before, but I think this was the best movie I saw all year.

Last Night In Soho is about a fashion student who moves to Soho in London and begins to see visions of a girl who the 60's who wants to be a famous singer. Things start to take a more tragic turn though for the girl in the 60's.

Edgar Wright put together such a beautiful film. I'll go ahead and say that this movie isn't exactly the scariest film. There's moments where it's legitimately tense and terrifying though. But it has so many horror elements that just make this movie so amazing.

The acting in this movie is superb, and they serve to plot so well. And the plot flows in such a flawless way too. It takes you on so many turns and it's so incredibly paced too. By the end, I was so superbly happy with the time I spent watching.

Honestly though, this should be seen for the directing and cinematography, because there's some incredible stuff done with both the non-horror and horror aspects. It's amazing how this film can have me going "Aww everyone's so happy!" to immediately going "Oh my god oh my god this is awful make it stop" so seamlessly.

Go see Last Night In Soho. It's a must watch as far as I'm concerned. You won't regret it.

100. What We Do In The Shadows: Seasons 1-3 (TV Series) (Hulu)

Is there anything more worthy of spot 100 here?

What We Do In The Shadows is a documentary-style comedy that follows multiple vampires and their familiar and their everyday hijinx.

There are very few shows that will absolutely knock me ass laughing as What We Do In The Shadows. It's just so damn good and hilarious. I don't think they've ever missed with a single episode. These dumb as fuck vampires and their personalities are all so fun to deal with, and what they get on with is great. I think this series gets better in time, really. And it starts off so strong already.

I could name so many episodes that hold such a special place for me with how funny they are, but there's no point. There's sooooo many. And they usually take mythology of vampires and many other horror creatures and really runs away with it. And just how little they take it all seriously. The cameos with so many people in Hollywood slay me every time they appear in the show--they never disappoint!

My favorite part is just how much of assholes the leads are to one another. And yet, it still feels endearing somehow despite this.

I love this show, and I can't wait for every episode. I recommend everyone check it out. I've never been disappointed by this show once.

99. The Terror: Season 1 (TV Series) (Hulu)

This show was a fucking trip from start to finish. Really, really good stuff.

The Terror is about a group of naval explorers who get their ships trapped in the arctic and must survive while a terrible creature stalks them.

This is more of a drama between the folks in the arctic than it is about the creature, but it's still plenty terrifying. As time goes by, they become increasingly more desperate and horrifying as they begin to lose their minds, and it plays out and escalates so well. So many of the scenes just made me balk at how damn awful the things happening in them were. It's really great at being able to shock you because it's just such a strong story, and nothing feels like it shouldn't be happening.

And then the creature itself is basic, but it really is a group presence throughout the show as it just tears through people. It comes in at the perfect moments and is such a great device to propel the story. It really does feel like an insurmountable beast. I loved that about it.

It really just feels like such a suitably bleak show, but it does everything so well and keeps you on edge through its entire run time. My only complaint is that it feels a little too dry at times. But aside from that, it's a really great show that does many things to keep you uncertain of what's to come. Definitely worth checking out!

98. The House of the Devil (Peacock)

What a strange, strange movie with an interesting direction style.

The House of the Devil is about a girl who gets convinced to watch over a home for a large sum of money, but there appears to be something more sinister going on.

It's a movie done with a 70's or 80's aesthetic, down to the presentation. But it still feels like it has modern filmmaking at times? It's a very unique style that I appreciated! The storytelling also felt oddly like a more modernized take on that style too.

It's a very atmospheric film that just really ramps up the "what the fuck is going to happen", arguably a little bit too much. I feel like it needed to get to the meat and bones of the matter a little bit sooner, but how everything is done makes for a simple, good story. When things really ramp it, it ramps up hard and is actually a stark contrast to when things are just... quiet and subtle. In that respect, it makes for a more thrilling climax of the film by virtue of taking its time quite a bit when getting there.

It's a really solid film though. I quite enjoyed my time watching it. If any of that interests you, check it out!

97. The Conjuring 2 (HBO Max)

It's the sequel to Conjuring with the Warrens again! It's good, just not as good as the original.

A family in England has a possessed daughter and the Warrens go to help with the evil demonic issue!

I like this movie a lot. It has a ton of good with it. The storyline is really solid. The scares are really good. There's a lot of atmospherically creepy scenes too. It feels a lot like the first movie, but it has a lot more of a love story thru-line through the whole film which is... I dunno, fine I guess. I didn't feel it nearly as much as they wanted me to, but at least the Nun is super dope for it. So it's fine. I just never really bought into the premonition of Ed's death.

The best way I can truly describe it is just... the Conjuring 1, but not as good. But it's still really, really good! It's just very hard to top that original one, you know? But damnit all if James Wan doesn't still do a great job with it. It's clear that they had used the rest of the really good ideas by the end of this movie though. I just don't think there's enough in the Warren library to make another really excellent film like these two, because Conjuring 3 was not it.

It's absolutely horrific. I hated the entire half season here.

The only seasons I think are worth watching are Murder House, Asylum, and 1984. I think the rest are various degrees of "okay at best" to "absolute trash". So if your opinion lines up with that, then you might be able to go by my word!

I thought the half seasons might be better because they usually get bored halfway through a season and just completely change directions entirely, but it turns out that they just contained some shitty stories in two halves.

I see it as more gothic than horror. It is certainly spooky and some monsters may be creepy-looking, but as a game, its goal isn't to scare you like a survival/psychological horror game would.

This is exactly it.

96. Silent Hill (Starz)

I'll kick this write up off with an anecdote.

I went to see this with my friend who knows nothing about Silent Hill. And around the time that that one girl nearly trips jumping over the chasm, he looked at me and said, "If this turns out to be aliens, I'm walking out of this movie." We both continued to not enjoy this movie to the end. Fortunately they did not give us the UFO ending for this film.

Silent Hill is about Rose taking her daughter and getting trapped in Silent Hill with Amanda from The Walking Dead as Cybil and then creepy stuff happens plus a cult while Sean Bean meanders around to find tiny morsels of LORE.

I have never wanted to like a movie as much as I did with this one. But I cannot like this movie. It's so bad. There is SO MUCH LOVE put into it from the franchise, and you can tell they wanted to do their best to make this an awesome movie for people who love the series. And the effects are great. Individual scenes are great!

But you leaned into the god damn game too much and it hurt because of it. You needed to treat this as a film for people who know nothing about the franchise first, and adapt it into a more cohesive film. Sean Bean's subplot is worthless. Waste of time entirely. And these flash backs, and legitimately cool scenes that actually have no purpose but to be cool? And other scenes that could easily be thrown out that weren't as cool? Uggggggh just maddening stuff. And the dialogue is really, horrifically bad at times (mostly because I'm sure they wanted to adapt it from the game) and there's so many unintentionally funny moments where this movie just sucked.

I don't think I've ever been so angry as when Rose walks into the room and it goes pitch black and then creepy girl goes "You made it and followed all my clues! Here is your reward! [SO MUCH FUCKING LORE THAT EXPLAINS THE WHOLE BACKGROUND OF THIS FILM]" Just absolutely awful writing and pacing.

This movie could have been something special. Hell, give it another shot with today's technology and I'm sure it's even cooler. But god damn, they messed this film up so badly and it frustrates me every time I watch. I don't think I can watch again it makes me so upset. I've never even seen Revelaiton, you know that? Not even once because I was so upset at this movie! Well... maybe next year.

This rating is as high as it is entirely on cool scenes and ideas, and nothing more.

Yeah, this just seems like a complete failure to follow protocol from every direction. I heard that Alec Baldwin was firing when he wasn't supposed to as well, but I can't find a source for that.

But regardless, this is all complete insanity and everyone up the chain should be held accountable, not just the absolute incompetent they hired.

95. Daniel Isn't Real (Shudder)

What the fuck this movie is really good and wild.

Daniel Isn't Real is about a college boy who feels overwhelmed, so he lets his imaginary friend return. But soon his imaginary friend isn't getting along with him anymore.

This last act is FUCKING CRAZY. I loved it. The lead up to it is just escalating this toxic relationship between the boy and his imaginary friend, Daniel. And then everything starts to become more clear as the movie goes and then WOW does it ever get nuts. The final act somehow becomes something so much stranger, and yet also calls back to a lot.

This movie does a ton of stuff really well, and as it starts to spiral out of control, you're feeling the tenseness. And then the final act? Oh god does it ever get nightmarish. Legitimately cringed at it got there. It just takes what you have seen thusfar and then skips notches 8-10 and just throws you into 11 and doesn't stop.

This movie is great! Go watch Daniel Isn't Real! You'll enjoy it!

94. Slumber Party Massacre (1982) (Amazon)

Good lord, this is one B-level movie 80's slasher. I admit I was only really interested in it because I know it was like this, but I wanted to double check before I watch the reboot/sequel that just came out.

Slumber Party Massacre is about a serial killer who wants to murder a bunch of girls with a power drill during a sleep over.

I mean, there's not a ton here to say. It's your basic slasher with a unique weapon. I'll take it. Didn't light my world on fire, but it was a decent watch. It's exactly what you expect it to be though. There are long, elaborate scenes of gratuitous camera shots on bare ass or boobs. A school shower scene. You guys know this type of movie.

It does some entertaining stuff with it though, I guess. I can't really be too down on it because it does what it wants to do, and knows what it is, and it does all of that just fine. It's a weird little movie and I don't know how it stood out, but I guess it probably has a little more going for it than most movies like this, which isn't saying too much? I can't give it a ton of praise, frankly. So let's just rate it.

all i can say is that in my perception, i'm not a massive dick because 1) i don't want to be one, so i'm trying not to be one and 2) my friends and family don't seem to think i'm one. however, i could be wrong. i'm always open to having my perception challenged. but if people just repeat "you're a massive dick" over and over and don't give me any proof, there's nothing i can do with that.

as for me being insecure - sure. i think i've talked about my insecurities plenty in the mental health topic. not sure how this is entirely relevant to whether or not i'm a dick, though.

Ayyyy glad you liked The Medium! It's an outstanding film! If you like that, check out The Wailing as well. It's a positively outstanding film made by a lot of the same people set in South Korea. I think The Wailing is a better film personally.

Also I am now watching the original Slumber Party Massacre.

93. Escape Room (Hulu)

What a stupid movie. I had a good time though.

Escape Room is about a bunch of folks who get brought into an escape room, but it's fatal.

Like I said, this movie is really stupid. But it's fun enough. I feel like they didn't go far enough with the concept to make it better though? I mean it's basically just a survival room with various "concepts" to make it deadly. And then there's something to tie them all together? I appreciate the effort, at least, and them basically taking advantage of the escape room craze. But man do the clues and answers all kinda suck. And then it devolves into nonsense... I dunno.

It's not great. But it's still a dumb kind of entertaining. Watch it if you want something to turn your brain off and enjoy (ironically in a movie where you're supposed to use your smarts to solve it).

I should also note I don't know anything about Lasa. I can't tell you anything they're into or anything they've mentioned about them personally.

All I know is that I have seen Lasa flip out and get aggressive with people on this board multiple times. I think the fact that this is the only thing I actually know about Lasa should say enough.

92. Blood Red Sky (Netflix)

Hey, this is a fun plane heist movie.

Blood Red Sky is about a group of terrorists who try to take over a plane, but a sickly mother attempts to stop them.

This is a very bloody, entertaining ride. If I had one real complaint, it's that it feels a bit long for what it is. The ending probably overindulges a little bit. But aside from that, I thought it was great.

This was a German film, but had some non-German actors like Graham McTavish and Dominic Purcell in it. If I knew they were in it, I probably would've watched sooner! But it adds to a bit more authenticity of the concept to me. It explores the past of the woman, and it goes in directions I didn't expect. I saw the ending coming, but that wasn't bad.

Overall, it's a fun film. I recommend checking it out! I can't talk as much as I want to about it because of spoilers, since the twist in the movie is also what makes it so good. And it unfortunately comes about halfway through the movie, so you'll just need to take my word for it that it's a good one!

I guess a better way to put it, would be Biscuit probably doesn't have the clear cut moral highground to outright shame someone from this argument, but they have more of the highground to do so than Lasa does to be upset that it was done.

Guys I don't care about having a moral high ground. It's a funny topic meant to get discussion away from the Baldwin topic from Lasa throwing a tantrum and being a dick to people, even though there's STILL MJ discussion in the other topic, and poking fun at what an absolute absurd kid Lasa is acting like.

Lasa was a dick to people. I made a topic poking fun at them being wrong and also being a dick to people and also to drag discussion away from there. If I just kept making fun of Lasa's inability to read and back off from an argument and generally being a spastic asshole to people WITHOUT making another topic, does that make it any worse? I don't think it does!

The fact that Lasa is still so upset about this tells you all you need to know. Dude just needs to walk away instead of caring that some guy they can't even name more than five things about thinks of them.

you were still arguing about the MJ shit in the other topic after you created this one so this is bullshit.

91. Friday the 13th: Part III (Paramount+)

I mean, I had to watch at least one of these movies this month, right? Fortunately it's a good one!

Friday the 13th: Part III is about Jason killing a bunch of campers. Also, he gets the hockey mask in this one.

Yeah, do you really expect this to have more of a plot? This is basically THE definitive Friday the 13th movie, honestly. It gives you everything you need and everything he's remembered for. As far as these films go, this is among my favorites.

The kills are good, the campers are entertaining enough to see die and it doesn't waste your time with nonsense. It just has Jason terrorizing campers. Do you honestly want anything else out of these movies? You know what you're getting into.

I can't really say too much more about it. This is what the movie is. You'll either like it or not like it, but it's one of the better ones imo.
