I actually enjoyed Fresh a lot but I sort of cooled on it a bit now. I think tonally it was a little milquetoast, like on constant edge of "oh, should I be quirky and fun" or "oh, should I be serious and dour" without ever really settling on one.
I just watched Mad God a few days ago. The visuals are just absolutely stunning. I want to say it's my new favorite Stop-Motion movie just on looks alone...? Like, the sheer amount of creativity and work that went into this is mind-boggling. Not a frame goes by without something interesting catching your eye and this is kept up the entire run time. Yet... the plot honestly let me down a little. I love a good allegorical symbol-fest as much as the next guy, but I don't think it's too much to ask to have at least a little bit of an explanation of what's going on. I think it would've been a perfect movie if the plot was just expanded in just a few more directions.
My rankings so far:
1. The House
2. Black Phone
3. We're All Going to the World's Fair
4. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
5. X
6. Mad God
7. Fresh
8. Men
9. Scream
10. See For Me
11. Shut In
12. No Exit
13. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
14. Firestarter
Bottom two are pretty much total garbage honestly.
I agree Firestarter was boring, and I am not sure there was even a story in the movie... but why is Texas Chainsaw Massacre so low for you?
