Halloween Ends (up being shitty).

Michael Myers crying in a sewer for 4 years until some incel comes along and helps him VS Mick Taylor calling you a slur as he guts you.

"Michelle Myers? Never heard of her mate."

Fuck that movie sucked balls.

Why does everyone insist Corey is an incel when the movie literally shows he got, voluntarily, laid?

Bullied by his mom. Bullied by kids. Loner. Isolated. Misjudged and hated by society. Only lands a bitch because she herself is mentally ill and empathizes with him. Unironically says if he can't have her, nobody can.

Corey oozes incel vibes, so it's funny to call him one.

I just tend to take it literally, and even if it is crazy, he still stuck his dick in it.
 
More accurately I think he's an analogy for a school shooter type, but saying "incel" is funnier.
 
i just rewatched An American Werewolf in London with some friends and i gotta say i fuckin love that movie so much. it’s one of my favorite classic horror movies, even tho it’s not scary at all. the scene where he wakes up naked at the zoo, and when he’s in the porno theatre and all his zombified victims are telling him to kill himself, are some of the funniest scenes in any horror movie.

i just watched Smile in theatres. it was fun because i was the only person at my showing. the movie itself was a little frustrating because the protagonist had a really bad case of main character retard syndrome, but i did get jump scared really good a couple times. the movie telegraphs the scares really hard every time, and i tried to brace myself, but they were so effective that they startled me anyway. i haven’t been jump scared so hard since i saw Hereditary in the theatre.
 
@mensch For some reason I can't quote your post either. 🤨

But I basically agree with everything you said, especially that they could've done a much better job depicting Corey's descent into murderer.
When it comes down to it, it really feels like David Gordon Green forgot he was making slasher films. He got lost in his own sauce big time, and forgot what made his first Halloween so entertaining.

I feel it has to do with the new writers added for each film as well who really get lost in their own social commentary and thinking they are telling some profound message.

Oh shit you're right, I just assumed David Gordan Green and Danny McBride wrote all 3 together, but each film had different other writers involved too.
 
Plumbing the waters of Shot On Video horror:

Lief Jonker's Darkness (1993)

A small town is overrun by vampires, and a few survivors are on the run. You know where most of the microbudget went to in this film. Not a dollar. drop of fake blood or second of film time wasted. The sort of earnest project made with passion I can get behind.

So I watched Deadstream after seeing some people recommended it and it was surprisingly fun. The synopsis makes it sound awful, I mean a youtuber streaming a night in a haunted house? I would never have checked it out if it wasn't for those recommendations but it was actually pretty funny with some decent (jump)scares. The house was great and it had some real Evil Dead vibes at times. Joseph Winter was great as a douchebag Youtuber.
I recommend going in blind as the trailer does spoil quite a bit.
 
To throw some stuff into the ring, I haven't watched pure horror/zombie/slasher stuff but I want to in the coming few days, but I recently watched three movies back to back. Intersect(2020), out of curiosity, Resolution(2012), and The Endless(2017), the latter two at the rec of a friend. Honest thoughts are that I'm impressed how movies made years ago can be far better. I know current cinema isn't exactly stellar but damn.

For Intersect I was interested because of the lovecraftian influence but past the first maybe twenty minutes of the movie? It's all buildup to the end. Majority of the movie is buildup to the plot twist at the very end, and it's not even a particularly unique or interesting twist, you can see it coming a mile away. Resolution and The Endless were both really good though and I like what was done with them.

Going forward I wanted to watch Spree, also at my friend's rec, and I might do that soon. I know it looks fucking cringe but it seems up my alley. But all this talk lately of that Hellraiser remake got me thinking, I never really saw the original series. Like, I did, way back on the sci-fi channel back when it was still sci-fi, but probably only one or two and I barely remember that shit, so maybe I'll make a nice marathon of the four original movies.
 
Every year, I always make a point of watching both the original 1978 Dawn of the Dead and The Lost Boys for Halloween.

I might also do a Hellraiser marathon but I'm not sure if I should stop after the third or fourth film or grab a bottle of Jameson and then just go full retard and watch all of the films including the shitty Direct-To-Video ones.
