MILK & SERIAL is a neat little found footage movie that is free on YouTube. Doesn't reinvent the wheel, but there are some fun story swerves, and a great central performance.

So... I watched Trap and it was legitimately one of the most frustrating films I have ever watched.

I was all but yelling at the screen by the end credits as if I was Vince Russo dropping BRO after every scream. I do not understand the appeal of M. Night's extremely, alien like tilted dialogue, unwavering sense of self worth, absolutely abysmal plotting efforts. I seriously loathe the 'CinemaSins' style of critique by man alive was it ultra hard to watch this and not go 'BUT WHY WOULD THEY NOT DO THIS' every two minutes.

I do not understand the movement propping M. Night as some mastermind auteur. He makes silly films with exaggerated styling that can sometimes be fun popcorn films but the second you start actually thinking about the on goings they mostly crumble to sandy bits.

Hartnett is fine and does well with what absolute little he's given but his performance really isn't anything we haven't seen before in genre offerings and isn't the best at it either.

the first half was actually really great, i loved it. the second half is one of the worst things I've ever seen lol
the ending was an insult to the audience lol

I thought that the whole movie would only take place in one place, the movie destroys itself after that place. it was truly awful.

EVENT HORIZON's got some terrific stuff in it. Great Fishburne and Neill performances.

The recordings (both audio and visual) of what happened to the crew are pretty potent in terms of horror. They shot a lot of extreme material for that stuff that had to be cut in order to avoid an NC-17 rating, and that footage is apparently lost in a salt mine somewhere.

it deserves to be lost and I hope it's never found lol. its probably really horrible

How. HOW can you center this story around a psychopathic serial killer who is ultra manipulative, very intelligent and basically a mastermind to the point he can design and carry out complex schemes within the confines of the concert setting yet have me believe he is AFRAID of a simple police barrier that would just ask him some questions? He is literally SHOWN casually lying and manipulating several people throughout the concert but he can't devise anything to get past the police line?

It sucked me right out of the movie. Along with the gaggle of numerous just outright silly and stupid things that happen.

I was enjoying the movie because everything you said was leading to something. I thought the movie would end when the concert ends. I thought he would win. I really was enjoying everything inside the concert, because I thought it was just build up for something better. I thought he would be smarter.
that's why the second half is such an Insult to me lol. second half is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Spoiler: Blumhouse’s The Wolf Man

Back the 2019, the Russo Brothers were going to do their own take on a Poltergeist remake, yet nothing ever came from that.

What gives this Amazon series hope over the 2015 remake is Ambling Entertainment being involved.

Spoiler: Blumhouse’s The Wolf Man

This can't possibly be the real thing. I refuse to believe it.

Because... that's awful. I don't know what that is, but it's no werewolf.

I just said it on the other thread but makes me think of the movie Wolf with Nicholson ( realistic take)

Watched Freaky and Two Happy Death days Films

I'll give Freaky, I liked intro kills but overall, I just think Blumhouse is pretty hit or miss for me. I just didn't care for any of these three films much. I feel like if you've seen the trailers for these three films you get the basic idea

I like Black Phone, FNAF and Halloween (2018) and also the 1980's part of Halloween Kills but I feel like man I feel like most of the films I've seen from them are just ok or bad.

in the past I used to be so excited for movie houses and potential movies that would land at hhn.......it felt so amazing to think of the possibilities
but now after all the blumhouse stuff it's like

and I used to be such a huge defender of the purge at hhn....... I always loved it, defended it .....

CUCKOO sometimes gets lost in its own strangeness, but it's very stylishly directed, and has two good performances from Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens. A fun time!

I just watched it and fully agree. I loved Hunter Schafer's performance in it so much.

last episode of midnight mass gave me real nightmares. amazing show. amazing pacing and dialogue. but that last episode broke me.
I don't even know if I can rewatch it.
I loved it but it disturbed me.

Schafer hits some really emotional notes beneath the "disaffected teen" exterior that I wasn't expecting. Never watched EUPHORIA, so this was my first exposure to her.

Watched this last night on a pure whim and man is it a nasty little treat. The writer/director/actor who plays Milk behind it is a damn good one and I hope he gets a chance to break through because he can bring the goods.

You all owe it to yourself to watch The Substance lol. Preferably without looking anything up.
