Watched Yule Log today. It was okay… a bit uneven. Loved the first few minutes but then the almost 20 minutes of the couple bickering in the scene afterwards was a bit of a slog.

When the other group of people came into the picture via the “double-booked AirBNB”-thing recently seen in Barbarian, I thought the movie picked up again. It was basically pretty solid the rest of the way.

Acting was pretty horrible in this. I thought the elevator guy and the mother were strong but the rest of the cast was pretty horrible.

Good enough but a step back from Too Many Cooks.

Watched Christmas Bloody Christmas(Shudder). Surprisingly really enjoyed it. It's like a Terminator Santa movie.

Has anyone seen "Prey for the Devil"? Just looking for some input before wasting my money.

B-

If you like that early 2000s slick, but muted cinematography (like Darkness Falls or Dead Silence) you might enjoy it.

I stopped watching around halfway in.

It was nothing but super loud and obnoxious arguing over music opinions and none of it made the characters likable.

Finally watched Barbarian. It was entertaining and had some good-enough twists.

"Rpbot" Santa was played by Kubiak from "Parker Lewis Can't Lose".

Two thumbs up here.

Really? I liked him on ER as Jerry. A lot of early 90s sitcoms as well.

I watched some of it last night. I restarted it and tried to count every f-bomb dropped but I couldn't keep up. I get some swearing in movies but this was just obnoxious.

escapegoat · 12-21-2022, 08:11 PM

not sure if Bones And All is a true horror, but it's listed under that genre along with drama, I enjoyed it

mma138 · 12-22-2022, 12:11 AM

loved the first season of let the right one in.

jdandns · 12-22-2022, 06:14 PM

The novel, written in Swedish, was obviously a solid concept. The original Swedish movie and American remake of it were both excellent, and the TV series has nicely expanded on the idea. Even so, the series hasn't been renewed for Season 2, as of today. I hope it gets the pickup.

BGT Masters · 12-25-2022, 09:24 PM

Just got done watching "Christmas Bloody Christmas", not worth the money I spent to watch it. First half of the movie is loud and obnoxious, it gets better or at least more entertaining but I wouldn't call the movie good or even decent.

marl1220 · 01-08-2023, 03:16 PM

Watched "Prey for the Devil" and "Where is Rose?" over the last few days. I thought that Prey was a decent enough movie. Nothing to write home about, and the twist was as predictable as a clock, but it found it entertaining. Unfortunately I don't really have anything positive to say about Rose.

I started watching "The Rig" series on Prime but I fell asleep (it was late) during the first episode. Anyone else watching this?

Hess687 · 01-09-2023, 07:23 AM

Went and saw M3gan this weekend. Not bad. Fairly entertaining, although I think they could have ramped it up a bit. Definitely feels like there will be a sequel. 6.5/10.

Big year for horror movies based on the previews I saw in the theater. Fear comes out this month which looks like it could be good. Scream 6 in March. Knock at the Cabin in February. Renfield with Nicolas Cage as Dracula and a ton other movies as well. Plus Servant on Apple TV comes back this weekend for its final season.

Gonna be a good year.

Watched Resurrection, Rebecca Hall is great in it.

It was pretty painful to get through

Bad bad plot

indyguy · 01-13-2023, 09:47 AM

Just saw previews for these yesterday

Infinity Pool - most likely will watch this one
Fear - will watch
Skinamarink - I turned the trailer off. Something about it made me uneasy. I doubt I'll watch this one

I think this is what they were going for. I always told my friends, I would love to see a trailer with nothing but an overhead view of a cornfield, etc and nothing more and that right there would get me to watch it. It's such a brilliant idea. It could be terriblle but I don't care.....the little the better. I'm horrified but intrigued

SleeperCards · 01-14-2023, 08:12 AM

Watched Skinamarink, while there are people who will enjoy this film I doubt they hang out on the BO forums.

It felt like a microbudget student film of a concussed child's nightmare. It could have been a good short, but the entire film felt like filler and ran about 90 minutes too long. This is ALL vibes, if you watch the first twenty minutes and you aren't into it, you're not going to get into it. There were eight people total in the theater and four of them left about an hour in (didn't blame them). It might be better appreciated by those with childhood trauma or who remember what it's like to be afraid of the dark. I just checked out the trailer, you could just watch it 50 times in a row and it would be similar to watching the actual film.

I saw M3GAN as well. It's definitely targeted to the 12-18yr old crowd. No real jump scares or horror in the movie. Without stooging off the movie, a lot of "what if" and "we're almost there" in this movie. I did enjoy it and agree on the 6.5/10 rating.

Fordman

PS - always use a coaster!

marl1220 · 01-17-2023, 05:21 PM

I watched "Devil Beneath" last night. I wish that I hadn't. That's my review.

Yup, she went to work in that one.

We just saw "Sick" on Peacock+.

It's from the writer of "Scream" and similar to that one. The hook is that it's set right at the start of the pandemic, which plays into the plot. Two college-age women quarantine at a secluded lake house only to be stalked by a Ghostface-like killer. It's got some good jumps in it, a fair amount of gore, and clocks in at a quick 80 minutes or so.

marl1220 · 01-17-2023, 07:00 PM

One episode deep into "The Last of Us". It's just one episode but I all ready dislike the young female lead. It reminds me of the feeling that I got from the "Resident Evil" show on Netflix. Hopefully I will change my outlook in future episodes.

TheFrenzy · 01-17-2023, 07:16 PM

It's been too long since I've watch a horror flick.
