If you are a fan of horror-thriller you will like this. Personally l like the second movie more than the first movie .l love how it all starts out as a simple game but turns so twisted.

So based on the trailers, we can see that Buddy is very angry for whatever reason (most likely because the kids are mean and uncooperative). But we also see signs that he’s not just a guy in a suit, he’s a supernatural creature who for some reason is also a kids’ show character.

But here’s the thing. I feel like there’s a non-zero chance that this guy is a regular kids’ show host that got possessed or impersonated in some way. And I just really hope they don’t go down that path. From the vibe I get in the promos, it feels like (and I hope) Buddy is just a magical kids’ show host who is also just a psycho. He wasn’t possessed or replaced, he’a just fucked in the head.

Maybe I’m biased as a Londoner, but Creep is so underrated imo. I was reminded to rewatch it after seeing someone go on a Hidden London tour which takes you down to the Charing Cross platform this was filmed on.

Happy Texas Chainsaw Massacre Day! 8/18

Influencers looking to breathe new life into a Texas ghost town encounter Leatherface, an infamous killer who wears a mask of human skin.

I’m not a huge fan of the franchise as I have only seen the 1973 original and the 2003 remake. But this reboot/sequel wasn’t awful (but not great either) as there are some GRUESOME kills (that bus scene was gnarly)! There are lots of plausibility issues, stupid character decisions, and unanswered questions, but you watch it to see Leatherface go on a bloody rampage.

I just came across this Spanish film and saw that it had a very good critical rating. I want to highlight some points that I liked and others that, honestly, didn't convince me completely.

1. The premise

After having seen so many movies in this genre, it's hard to make something that really keeps you glued to the screen and, moreover, has a premise different from what we've always seen that even Stephen King praised it.

2. The little table

From the poster and the title, I thought it was going to be some kind of "haunted table" that killed people. I had no faith in it. But after the first 10 minutes, it was WOW!

3. The dad

I thought it was excellent how he navigates through that whirlwind of emotions that arise from what happens with the little table. The actor works a lot with subtlety, without exaggerating or overacting, and that made me completely believe in his character. Throughout the entire movie, one question accompanied me: what do you do in a situation like this? How do you react? I wanted to hug him and, at the same time, I had my doubts about what "the little girl" says.

4. The only thing that didn't convince me

When the mom came back from the supermarket, I found it strange that she didn't go directly to see the baby. I understand that the dad had a hard time getting him to sleep, but I think any mom, out of habit, would at least go take a quick look. I also felt that they stretched out the part where they couldn't nobody "go see him" a bit.

Anyway, I highly recommend the movie for the performances and, above all, for the premise. Thoughts?

Mrs. Robeson remains today, my favorite still. What’s yours?

Before Steven Spielberg hit it big with his Horror/Suspense blockbuster Jaws, he made this film about a traveling salesman on a cross country road trip who's terrorized by a maniac in an 18-Wheeler who pursues him endlessly across the barren California desert. Dennis Weaver is great in the starring role, and the movie was one the first in a long line of desert road themed suspense movies, with later films like Road Games (1981) and The Hitcher (1986) adopting a very similar style. If you haven't seen this one I highly recommend it, first rate edge of your seat entertainment. Although more of a Suspense/Thriller than straight Horror, I think it fits well alongside many similar road trip themed horror films of the genre. A great movie, one of Spielberg's best in my honest opinion.

The zombies walking over the Brooklyn bridge at the end of Zombie Flesh Eaters, the opening scene of Day of the Dead, whenever Tarman is on the screen in The Return of the Living Dead and almost every minute watching John Carpenter’s The Fog are among many I get goosebumps watching regardless if it’s my hundredth viewing.

But my absolute favourite must me Blake in the church at the end of The Fog.

What are some of yours from this wonderful genre we love so much?

The Belko Experiment is a tense, violent survival thriller with a clever premise: 80 employees are trapped in an office and forced to kill each other. It builds suspense well and explores how ordinary people behave under extreme pressure.

This is from the same writer/director as I Saw the TV Glow, which I was not a fan of (no hate, I just didn't get it), so I was a bit skeptical going in, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Camp Miasma kind of reminds me of The Substance in how surreal, campy, and thematically layered it is. There's a lot that's very on-the-nose, like how the "villain" is called Little Death, but there's also a lot of sexuality that I don't think I've seen as effectively explored in film before.

Would love to hear other peoples thoughts on it. Maybe get into more spoiler-y discussions in the comments. :)

amazing movie

Okay when I first saw it I thought I was just going to like it because it was a horror movie with Christian Bale but I actually ended up liking it for the character of Patrick Bateman and how you can't tell if this story is actually happening or not
