I did not care for the first M3gan mainly because I found it forgettable and bad, which in a way is almost worse than being a regular bad movie.

Anyone have any recommendations for horror movies post 2020? I'm trying to fight my doomerism by finding actual good stuff out there, but recommendations from most sources tend to be untrustworthy.
I want some actually decent shit. Can ya help a nigga out?
Anything's fine but I'd prefer something with some blood or good ole fashioned latex effects.

I liked Talk to Me, The Empty Man, the Night House, Barbarian, Thanksgiving, and Late Night with the Devil, Possessor, and the Shallows, I know I'm forgetting some, but that's what I can think of off the top of my head.

I'd throw in the original Argentina version of Late Night, History Of The Occult, it roughly uses the same premise but goes off in a different direction, so even if you've seen one it's worth catching the other compared to say, different Ring movies
but yeah Talk To Me was pretty good and a lot less woke than it appears at first blush

Honestly most modern horror movies are total shit the only ones I've seen that I thought were decent were longlegs (but the ending sucked and it was really predictable) and I thought strange darling was pretty good. Typically I shut new movies off before finishing them I managed to finish both of them.

I mean there's Terrifier 2 and 3. I also really enjoyed In a Violent Nature (except the disappointing ending). Other than that it's pretty bleak, I didn't like any of the others mentioned so far except Possesor.
If you stretch the definition of horror, I kind of enjoyed Infinity Pool and Strange Darling.

I have attempted to sort these title cards in order, from "most plausible" to "least plausible".

Don't forget the films of Arri Aster. Beau is Afraid is a masterpiece.

I got a soft spot for movies that start with title cards saying "based on a true story".

I got fooled by the one at the beginning of Picnic at Hanging Rock. I think I'd rather have known it was fiction from the beginning.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre one is too perfect, whether it's true or not.
The House of the Devil one just backfires...
How am I even this mad that they ruined something that I didn't like in the first place?

Want to watch an ultra obscure Canuckian Zombie cheapie?
This one is on the Lost Media wiki claiming that there's more gore footage but it's probably BS and the footage they pulled from the trailer is from another movie. This isn't great but it is very amusing in a home movie sense.

That trigger warning at the beginning is more Canadian than Geddy Lee eating poutine at a hockey game.

So I saw the rest of the Final Destination movies...
2 was a neat follow up from the first one and really enjoyed some of the deaths more, and liked how it tied back into the first movie. The disaster was also pretty fun with how over the top it was.
3 was alright, it wasn't bad, but it was a step down that is mostly carried by the leading actors at least giving a shit with the roller coaster death being the real highlight of the film while the goth nerd felt like he didn't go anywhere as a threat.
4 is probably the most dogshit entry since I can barely give a shit about anything that happens from how most of the cast just sucks (the only standouts were the racist for being unintentionally funny while the black security guard is the closest thing to a compelling character). Now I wouldn't give a shit if it weren't for the fact that the special effects were god awful in this film (especially with how it really wanted to show how "3D" it was) which made every death scene pretty terrible along with how fast some of the deaths happened like it just wants to end as soon as possible. The only good death scene was the ending one only because the switch to X-Ray models was something different.
5 is probably the closest to being the best film since while it does have moments of trying to show how 3D it is, it isn't as obnoxious as 4 and a lot of the death scenes were more fun and creative like the massage parlor and all the deaths that were near the end of the film. It was also nice to see someone try to actively fuck up the order and the guy looking like Tom Cruise makes it enjoyable, his fight scene was also pretty neat. The two disasters were also filmed pretty well (even if they recycled one of them for the ending, but the new perspective is good)
Tony Todd had small roles but he brought some charm to the movies he was in, and now I'm curious what his final performance in the next one will be like.
Now if I were to rank these movies it would go: 1 > 5 > 2 > 3 >>>> 4

If they do what I think they're going to do and keep a singular Predator throughout all 3 stories, it could be compelling. Kind of a Eternal Darkness "people across time trying to defeat the same evil" thing.

It feels like it was cobbled together from multiple pitched Predator projects. Because the beauty of the Predator is that you can set a story anywhere. As explored in the comics. You can have a pirate story, old west, samurai era, Civil War (with the comic Hell Come A Walkin'). The comics realized this 30 years ago and it took the Hollywood elite just now realize this.

The viking stuff looks like they're going for gender-bend Beowulf with Grendel as a Predator.
The viking Pred looks a lot bulkier than the Samurai Pred, so I don't think we're supposed to think they're the same guy. Predators would also have to live for a thousand years, I don't know if that's in the lore.

We know Predators live for at least a few hundred years because the Elder Predator in 2 had the flintlock pistol.

They could live for all of human history because of relativistic travel. Although I agree, it looks like they'll be different ones.
