    I bought it for like 3 dollars on 4k when the local Family Video closed... Still haven't watched it, probably should.

    I saw it via a Monday Mystery Movie deal at Regal a month or two ago; it was ok I guess, but was hoping for better based on the limited reviews available at the time

    28 days later is a favorite film of mine and it's basically unable to purchase anywhere. Why is this industry so stupid

    The 10-15 minutes featuring Beef in Phantom of the Paradise is some of the greatest cinema I've ever seen. I love this movie.

    I spent about 20 minutes messing with my TV last night because I was watching 28 Days Later and thought something was wrong with the version I was watching. Nope, it was filmed on a T-mobile Sidekick

    The Empty Man surprised me, I thought it would turn to shit after that banger open but it stayed at a pretty high level, will watch again.

    Watched “Night of the Hunted” on Shudder, it goes hard in the topical commentary when it should just be a fun thriller. Worth a watch but I can’t imagine sitting through the dialogue a second time.

    also the new show on Peacock “John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams” is cheesy, fucking terrible recreations, gory, crass, and violent. It’s stupid fun.

    We were planning on going to the theater tomorrow to watch this but thanks for playing it for free Peacock. My kid is literally a Wikipedia page for this, every scene he has a five minute monologue about what is actually happening and what is canon according to the game.

    thought When Evil Lurks was pretty good but didnt live up to the hype

    first half was really good and then the momentum and story kinda died out

    I didn’t even know it was a game and enjoyed it. Just read the Wiki gameplay about it and the film really nails the aspect of the game. I’d probably watch it again now after reading it

    Anybody seen Sick? Not a bad slasher IMO. At least has a new angle for one, though one that I'm sure will become played out over the next few years.

    also liked how there isn't quite as much "don't do that dumbass" as your average slasher.

    lol. I think personally most terrifying movie scene I can recall was when that oldie with the head scissors came across the hallway after the long slow pan

    and really aggressive step forward in terrifying use of old people in general imo

    Only have read 1-2 pages, but Smile is a movie that pleasantly surprised me last year. I think I let high expectations ruin Talk to Me. I let Rotten Tomatoes screw me yet again. Some of the more recent ones I like off the top of my head are Lights Out, Ouija: Origin of Evil, and The Empty Man. For most movies, but especially Empty Man, don't read anything about it. Just hit play.

    As far as User goes, I thought it was good but not excellent like Hill House and Midnight Mass. Succession vibes were too strong and some of the stories (particularly The Raven) were ham-fisted. Re-using the same actors has also gotten kind of stale.

    Thought Cobweb was OK. It's one of those that sortve feels like 2 separate movies though

    Empty Man is very good and got misrepresented in its ad campaign. Also one of the progenitors of dark ambient/industrial music (LUSTMORD/Brian Williams, been around since 79 or so) did the soundtrack for it which really elevated it too

    Think this was the film that got me into horror as a tiny booger eater. Day of the Dead is bleak af but grossly fantastic. Toss on Return of the Living Dead for the punk rock nihilist interpretation
