Caught this on Netflix. Pretty decent setup: a group goes to check out the spirits in a house where a woman murdered a group of people years ago. One in the group has a connection to the original murders and the story generally is pretty good, but I figured out how it would end about 2/3 of...
I’ve heard so much about this! The scariest and most disturbing found footage film EVER!
It wasn’t. Most of the gore and disturbing acts occur offscreen.
The movie is part documentary, part found footage. Far too many of the “doc” actors are pretty bad and unbelievable. This film’s reputation...
My site was an old Kmart store in suburban Chicago. The HUGE check-in/registration area was manned by army personnel, nurses did the injections and a room for any emergency reactions was set up. My appointment was at 1pm. Got there at 12:37, checked in and vaccinated by 12:57. Probably a steady...
I also got my first Pfizer dose today! My second is scheduled for 4/17. I've heard some minor side effects after the second dose. Without reading all 500+ posts, what might I expect?
Arrested Development! The original three seasons are far superior to the reboot on Netflix. She is HYSTERICAL in it! It stars Jason Bateman, Portia DeRossi, Henry Winkler, Liza Minelli and more, narrated by Ron Howard.
A dysfunctional family gets together for Christmas but something traps them inside the house. Then mysterious messages start appearing on the TV. It’s creepy, claustrophobic and pretty fascinating until the last 20 minutes. On Netflix.
Another stinker. The couple is pretty stupid (at least the woman feels uncomfortable a few times) and there are plot holes galore. No gore or scare. Long scenes that waste times, scene jumps that make no sense a completely ridiculous ending. Avoid this one!
A real missed opportunity. Adam (Evan Todd) decides to come out to his group of straight guy friends on his birthday. They’re accepting and try, sometimes too hard, to make him feel better. Unfortunately, this light-hearted coming out story doesn’t really know what it wants to be. Sometimes the...
I finished Schitt's Creek yesterday. Is it too soon to rewatch it? What a FANTASTIC show! I highly recommend the Season Six documentary on Netflix...bring your tissues!
YIKES!!! I generally like anthology horror. But this!!!! I couldn't make it through the whole movie. Humor mixed with horror is a really fine line IMHO. This one crossed it, destroyed it and completely ignored it. A drive in (the last one) is closing and the owner wants to go out with a...
This one was surprisingly better than expected. Yes, it's low budget and the creature scenes that don't show much or last too long are most effective. But it's really more of a horror movie/character study. Six high school graduates go to Black Lake for one last party before heading off to...
I've started a new thread for a year-round celebration of horror movies! Hope everyone can help contribute titles worth checking out! (Or avoiding!!!!)

As someone who has participated in the October Scary Movie Challenge a few times, I thought it might be fun to do a catch-all discussion that can run all year. Some years have worked where I had time to participate, others, not so much. And with the pandemic I've been watching more movies...
My story is the flip side: I grew up loving and watching The Wizard of Oz on TV (every Easter, if I recall correctly). Seeing it in 1999 on the big screen for its 60th anniversary was like watching a new movie! The same for Psycho, where the audience was silent and mesmerized. Living in...
This is one of the most difficult and devastating movies I've seen. Survivors and others are interviewed retelling the story of the fire that killed 32 at the Up Stairs Lounge in New Orleans in 1973. It's disturbing and graphic, but such an important story to understand. HIGHLY recommended...
