I'm a bit hopeful for Evil Dead Burn. Rise is still a disappointment. The protag never fought off the demons, they fucked off in their own. The final demon walked right to its death so the mc can push it, and copy off the finale of the 2013 remake poorly. It was like watching a video game.
I still don't get why people call it 'good' when the glaring problem is right in the title: Rise, as in an apartment rise. Yet the whole movie takes place in only one room.
Very glaring coming down from Ash Vs show showing demons happily feasting in crowded places multiple times despite having way less of the budget.
 
That new "It" prequel TV series on HBO Max sounds like yet another case of the people behind it twisting themselves into knots trying to come up with ways to spin a franchise out of the source material.

I dipped out of that Welcome to Derry preview about 15 seconds in, after it showed the third nigger. In Maine. In 1962.

I mean I probably wasn't going to be interested anyway because everything is shit, but I do think that was kind of a record for me for how fast I moved it to the ignore list.

This is so fucking retarded and contrived. Feels like they're trying to pull directly out of Stranger Things (which is ironic considering how It (the book) was what inspired Stranger Things to begin with, so the plagiarism is funny). In my opinion, part of what made It so enduring as a story was the fact that this cosmic level entity was still restricted to a very small local town right in the middle of nowhere. It made the story seem very personal in a way that I don't think the creators of this new show understand. Trying to apply rules, logic and limitations to something like Pennywise just ruins the character. Really, any cosmic horror that you can "control" is quite paradoxical of a concept its own sense and partially ruins the horror of it. I'd consider something like SCP Foundation as an exception due to the fact that the Foundation seems to be somewhat of a cosmic entity itself. Throwing typical grounded war politics stuff in a story like It just feels dumb.

So basically a Stranger Things knockoff in the 60s with a multicultural friends group

Fucking hard pass. Almost as hard a pass as @BrunoMattei passes on consensual sex

I mean, really, how many "prequel", "sequel", "soft reboot" or "set in the universe of" TV shows based on other shows, movies, etc. have there been on cable and streaming services during the past several years that come and go with little to no notice, where if you look at the plot summaries and so on the show's mere existence comes off as contrived and thin, like they barely have come up with enough material for one episode, much less a whole season and the episodes are just full of padding.

I had no idea there was a show based on Lovecraft until the creators started bitching that no one watched it, or bitching that people hated it because too many blacks or something. I honestly don't see the point of watching modern TV shows because a "season" is only 10 episodes at most, and I put season in quotes because it can take a year or three between seasons.

I keep trying to watch giallo films, but aside from Murder Rock and The Card Player, I haven't really enjoyed any.

I’ve probably watched close to 40-50 of them and the only one that is stellar is Dellamorte Dellamore, and a couple of Fulci’s were pretty good. I can’t remember any other which made me want to rewatch them, or even remember them.

Not to mention this severely nerfs the entity. A being with god-like powers that It can influence the people of Derry to keep Itself hidden, yet this show wants the audience to believe the military (an outsider to the town) is aware of It's existence?
