I watched 1 and 2 yesterday. 1 was surprisingly good and 2 was ok. I hear 3 is a good one so I'm looking forward to checking it out tonight.

I was never the biggest fan of the series as a whole, but I always like 1 and 4 the best. Dream Warriors has a rep as the best of the sequels but I find it alternately cheesy, stupid, and depressing.

Im a huge fan of the series. I think its so fucking creative, scary, fun and violent. I love pretty much every movie.

Yeah, I was very impressed by some of the practical effects used. I love how inventive film makers used to have to be with effects.

It would be worth a stream.

I concur

Started s2 of Chucky and damn they killed a little kid already.

Cabinet Of Curiosities first ep was mildly ok but the season seems it could have a few good ones

I really liked the first ep but found the second one boring, I need to go back to it

Watched 28 Days Later for the first time since seeing it in theaters. Still generally meh and my god does that movie look like shit. Realize it was (partially) a stylistic choice but at first I thought my wifi was acting up

Also watched Evil Dead which is still fantastic

Do you know The Empty Man? Is a cosmic horror movie from 2020 directed by David Prior, that got stuck in the merge of Fox and Disney and the director esentially got screwed. This guy is a collaborator of David Fincher, and pretty much share his style. Well, Prior directs the third episode of Cabinet of Curiosities and is fucking great. You should check it out.

Rewatched Halloween 2018 (hadn't seen it since seeing it in the theatre) - it held up really well, and is by far the best of the new trilogy.

the original or the reboot? huge fan of both

Original. Watched ED2 tonight and I still prefer the first, although it’s close.

need to do a rewatch of the first three soon

So I finished watching all of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.

I'd rank them like this -

A Nightmare on Elm Street
Wes Craven's New Nightmare
NOES 3
Freddy vs Jason
NOES 4

NOES 2

NOES 5
NOES 6

I didn't watch the reboot and I don't think I will. I hear it's no fun at all.

Nightmare 4 and 5 should be way up there, specially with Freddy Vs Jason being in 4th place

the reboot is weird. Its kinda boring yet have some good sequences and ideas.
