New on List: The Fearway, In My Mother's Skin, Haunting of the Queen Mary, Sister Death, A Creature Was Stirring, Santa Isn't Real, Nightmare on 34th Street.

I decided to sink Pooh into the F tier; it's just a really bad movie and even if some of the kills were pretty neat, that's not why I like horror films generally.

Haunting of the Queen Mary: This was something we watched a little while back before Christmas that I forgot to make note of. I just spent forever trying to figure out why my numbers weren't matching on my lists and this was the one I forgot. Says a lot, I guess. It started out with so much promise and has a cool aesthetic and setting, but it doesn't do a lot with it. The most interesting of the characters is basically out of the film for the majority of the time and unfortunately this is another film that's trying to be The Shining but in way too short of a runtime to do it. It's not a bad movie or anything, it's just really middling and doesn't do a lot with what it has and feels like it's too short whilst also dragging on for too long. I felt like it had more story to tell to make things make more sense, because ultimately it often didn't by the end. Since things weren't piecing together very well it made the film feel long near its conclusion because the middle of the film was too short.

Nightmare on 34th Street: Surprisingly enough, the best of the Christmas horrors I watched this year. Of the 4, I wouldn't classify any of them as especially great but this one is probably the one I felt had the most going for it. It is an anthology style horror film, featuring 3 self-contained stories amongst a larger overarching one with the narrator and the boy he's telling the story to. The first story is about a ventriloquist with a snowman, which I found to be the most interesting of the tales and had the most unique premise. The second featured Krampus and was blah, as most things I have ever seen Krampus in are. It's a shame because it seems like it ought to be easy to make a movie about Krampus, but every time it fails to me. This time for instance, the people being tormented aren't "deserving" of it; Krampus should be more of an anti-hero style entity, because he's supposed to only visit "naughty" children I thought. But in like every instance I seem him in that's never the case, and here was no different... even though the mother in the story was "Krampus" all along and there was no real Krampus to speak of, so there's that. The final story is again pretty unique; it features abused altar boys from a choir, one of which is a ghost that had been killed by a corrupt father. It doesn't have a great conclusion though, and again I found the villains to be interesting but also their motivations seem flawed with whom they decide to punish.

Ultimately, it's fine. It's a bit long at 2 hours and 10 minutes but I found it to be the best offering this year. None really come close to Thanksgiving though.
