I had a dream I was at a neo-Blockbuster store where toys related to the movies were on display. At first, I was helping set up the diorama's where people could buy the shit but then I noticed there were comics too and I perused the aisle and found an all-in-one comic and a toy I never saw before based on Buddy from Slaughterhouse but it didn't have a price tag and was out of package.
A family member was behind the counter but as soon as I go up to the counter they've disappeared and someone else is there but treat me like I'm stealing or breaking the rules. Corporate is called and a guy in a suit appears and I try to explain the situation but the guy is suspicious of me.
Cut to, the store next door is like a Dollar Store and I'm seeing this POV of an unknown entity. I realize I'm watching Bryan Fuller's Friday the 13th TV show where an entity (Jason) breaches the store, annihilating anyone who is in it's way, there's a naked blind woman screaming while a sprinkler system goes off.
The Jason entity makes it to the neo-Blockbuster and gorily tears apart everyone (excluding me) in an instant in a manner similar to the Story of Ricki.
Cool dream.

Sorry about the Demons (2023) is about a guy who moves into a house, but the demon there doesn't want to possess him because he's too much of a loser. Kinda Indie Horror Comedy type vibe, some decent scares, the problem is that it tries but fails to be just as good as it would have the potential to be. I kept thinking 'Man, I wish this was better' the whole time. It's not bad... it just ends up way more bland than it should have been. It's definitely worth a watch, it's not horrible by any means, some of the jokes are good, but it feels like something from 10 years ago or something.

Could Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors be the patient zero of the reboot-quel phenomenon? It does have elements that would be incorporated in the reboot/sequel where you introduce a new set of characters but bring back the old surviving ones to act as mentors to the new ones. It lacks the exploitative memberberries element but that could be just because it was only 3 years between the 1st and 3rd movie.
I don't mean this in a bad way because I love Dream Warriors and it's my favorite of the franchise.

It didn't work for me because it couldn't decide what sort of tone it was going for, you had scenes of comically over the top violence, and scenes where innocent people are begging for their lives before being executed. The original BR managed to pull this off, but here it just felt very heavy handed.

That's just James Gunn. You should watch Super.
I liked Belko Experiment but I wouldn't say it was a masterpiece or anything. 7.5 or 8 out of 10 movie for me.

I never really thought about that before. They did not pay attention to the way time works in 80s movies. There's got to be a fanmade Friday the 13th timeline out there somewhere, should be a total riot.
I can never tell if Lenzi is legit retarded or just likes trolling interviewers.

No, Lenzi was extremely full of himself. When the DVD of Nightmare City came out he claimed he predicted the Anthrax scare after 9/11. He also claimed he invented the cannibal film genre with Man From Deep River (which is a ripoff of A Man Called Horse) and probably claimed he invented the Polizioteschi (Eyetalian crime film) genre too.

That reminds me of Mark Lester on the special features of the "Class of 1984" DVD. He claims that he predicted and warned society about school shootings thanks to his exploitation film.

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. Returning for New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Sequel!
In the wake of Amazon’s short-lived television series, Deadline reports that Sony Pictures is bringing I Know What You Did Last Summer back with a brand new sequel movie. The biggest news here? Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., who starred in the original 1990s slasher movie, are in...

A new I Know What You Did Last Summer is happening. Once again aping the success from Scream's recent rebootquel's. I never liked it or the rest of the slashers that came out after Scream excluding Cherry Falls. Apparently there was a TV show on Amazon but I haven't heard a soul talk about it.
I find it more amusing that the original author re-issued the book in 2010 but included then-modern references to smartphones and social media. My guess is that the author was future-proofing the book in case movie execs want to do a reboot and not pay them royalties.

The book doesn't have a lot to do with the movie in the first place. Did they just buy the rights because they liked the title or something?Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. Returning for New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Sequel!

Among what I've found on Archive.org is this bit of Japanese V-cinema (i.e. direct-to-video). V-cinema kicked off in Japan in 1989, the place where violent action fare and the like was made with somewhat less restrictions than theatrical releases. Horror has also been a part of the V-cinema market for years, and here we have 1991's "Skyscraper Hunting"
The ASH (Abnormal Species Humanoid), a species of human-like beings with lethal psychic powers intends to aggressively propagate themselves in order to take over the world. Special police units are out to seek and destroy them wherever they secretly congregate, lots of squibs and exploding torso gore and low-budget body horror.

Who really cares about the leads of I Know What You Did Last Summer. It feels like Sony want to get onto the Halloween/Scream gravy train but without releasing both those ips are far better known and the leads of those movies have fans.
I'm not against another go at the ip, just a remake makes more sense than a 20+ year later follow up. I'm expecting them to try the same shit with Urban Legends or Anaconda next.

Who would you guys say is the best horror protagonist? My vote goes to MacReady from the Thing (1982). In most horror stories the protagonist must learn that playing by the rules of the monster/situation means death, Dutch from Predator has to reverse the roles of prey and hunter and Ripley from Alien learns that trying to fight the Xenomorph is pointless, just blow the ship up, etc.
But MacReady isn't playing the game from the first moment of the film. He doesn't trust the Norwegian dog so when he hears bullshit from the kennels he immediately sounds the alarm and gets a gun. His first instinct to seeing the Thing take a full tube of 12 gauge is to tell Childs to get a flamethrower and burn it. He doesn't care what it is or why it can do the things it can, only that it can't ever leave the outpost and he's willing to blow everyone up to make sure it doesn't. The Thing has the ability to perfectly blend in but he comes up with a simple way to force it out into the open. At every moment in the film MacReady is the guy with the gun/flamethrower/explosives ready to throw a wrench in the Thing's plans.
Honestly, everyone in the film is good. Blair is the first to really get what's going on here and the stakes involved. He kills the rest of the dogs, destroys the vehicles and makes sure no one can radio home. I've always loved his line in the radio room: "You guys think I'M crazy! Well, that's fine! Most of ya don't know what's goin' on around here, but I'm damn well sure SOME of you do!". Everyone acts mostly rationally under the circumstances, even the paranoia and shock that most of the cast show throughout the film is believable and understandable.

A bit obvious but my personal recommendation is the original 1992 Braindead/Dead Alive from New Zealand which is an absolute classic that manages to be both deftly blend horror and comedy together through hyper gory, ultraviolence and ridiculously over the top special effects. It might not count as a traditional full on ‘terror’ Horror flick but I personally think that works to its advantage. The sheer non-stop cartoonish violence borders on hyper surrealism and makes it borderline comedy-horror a bit more accessible to thin skins and tender hearts.
Overall Score: 8.5/10

I always thought this scene in Cape Fear was a resembles to the opening scene of The Beyond and how the camera crash zooms on the bloody chain whipping parts of both films
He made some absolute bangers though, Orgasmo, Rome Armed to the Teeth, Syndicate Sadists, From Corleone to Brooklyn, Nightmare City, Cannibal Ferox, Eaten Alive, Ghost House, House of Witchcraft, and more I can't think of at the moment. I even enjoy some of his others that people hate like Black Demons and Hell's Gate.

I think his horror cycle wasn't nearly as strong as his contemporaries but there's some "fun" entries like Nightmare City and Cannibal Ferox. Neither of which are objectively good but go balls out with the gore.
Fun drinking game when watching a Lenzi film: take a shot every time a chick is slapped especially if the chick has gone into hysterics and gets slapped to be brought back into reality. It's just something I noticed about his films.
I never liked Eaten Alive very much. After the opening the pacing just goes into the toilet and it re-uses footage from other films -which is amusing but doesn't add anything for me.
