Fantastic. I really hope Shia gets his life together because he's a real fucking talent.
I loved that movie so much. The DP is from Argentina and she is wonderful.
This has been on my list for so goddamn long. There's just no good excuse why I haven't seen it yet.

I'm only seen Dickinson and Morning Show.

Both are fine with really weird stretches.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Unhinged. The premise seemed a bit far fetched, but it didn't really let up at all. Was too violent for my wife. She didn't like it

On The Rocks.

Sofia Coppola´s worst movie by far. Rashida Jones was so one note it was embarrassing.

That’s kind of her whole deal
whos? Rashida? It kinda shows here how limited she is as an actress. It hurts the movie badly.

Watched some more horror movies this weekend - all available on the various streaming services i have access to.

Annabelle Comes Home - not bad, fairly scary despite a few goofy looking ghosts and ghouls, and a pretty standard story

Sinister 2 - very disappointing. I remember the first one being pretty good, but this one was just boring. The ghosts being on camera so much really kills the tension and it just wasn't a very interesting story.

Us - Well acted and I enjoyed the opening scene. Outside of that I hated it. Obvious twist and social commentary without a coherent story to tie it all together. It just felt like a bunch of ideas and images tossed together without any connections or payoffs. It also wasn't scary at all, which is a big knock against a horror movie.

I'm not sure what I'm going to try next. The horror genre is such a minefield.

Us was great. Loved it. Anabelle Comes Home was good. Sinister 2 was boring....do you like supernatural stuff? slasher?

I like both really, but at the moment I'm looking to be scared and only supernatural stuff really scares me.

I liked The Conjuring recently and The Ring terrified me back in the day. I haven't seen The Grudge, which was recommended to me today, so maybe I'll try that.

Another movie I watched this weekend was Ready or Not,which I enjoyed quite a lot. I only wish it had been a little more violent. It wasn't quite as satisfying as You're Next (which is an awesome movie)

You mean the new Grudge movie? I havent see it. There are a lot of cool horror movies from this year. The Wretched, Invisible Man, The Rental, She Dies Tomorrow, Come To Daddy, Color Out of Space ....Im dying to see Possesor.

I was recommended the old Grudge.

The Wretched sounds good and it's streaming on Hulu, so it looks like a winner.

Kill List is a great hybrid hitman/horror flick that I highly recommend if you've never seen it.
