Watched episode 1 of The Walking Dead season 11. I liked this more than I thought I would. The storm troopers from last season made me put this off. There are two storylines going on and I liked them both even the one with the storm troopers.
I liked everyone in this episode. Negan and Maggie were the stand outs. The visuals were pretty good except for some bad green screening in a few places.
It’s a long time since I watched Walking Dead. I may get back to it one day.
I watched Invasion of the Body Snatchers recently. The one with Donald Sutherland and it had a lot more local government intrigue and very young Jeff Goldblum than I remember ( I think it’s one of those movies I only vaguely watched.) The invaders were brilliantly done and the ending, of course, is classic; true brilliance and, in context of the story, truly awful.
Chilling Quote:
Elizabeth Driscoll: They'll stop you.
Invader in human guise: In an hour... you won't want them to. In an hour, you'll be one of us.
Hey, funny coincidence, I just watched that old Invasion of the Body Snatchers myself for the first time last week! I had no idea that's how it ended, and wow. Possibly the greatest last 5 seconds of any movie I've ever seen, maybe with the exception of Friday the 13th. Your chilling quote is right on, too. Such a good classic horror movie.
I finally saw a Terrifier movie, Terrifier 2. It's definitely a horror movie, but the over the top gore was a little distracting to the point of laughing at it. Not a bad movie, Art definitely was an expressive clown. Some creative stuff like his bowl of candy, and bleach mixed with salt on open wounds, and the costume shop. I did like the dream, but it was much too long. Is the first movie less over the top?

Short answer, no 
It's definitely over the top gore and a lot of the same type of horror between the first and the second.
Watched Anguish 1987 and boy was it a eye full. The only thing I knew about this movie was that the main plot was about a mother that makes her son kill people and take their eyes using hypnotism. The movie turned out to be more than that. Layers on layers on layers.
Oddly this movie isn't scary in a slasher way. This movie is scary in a real world way, especially if you live in America. Its a easy movie to spoil but it might be one of those movie you want to watch more than once like the Sixth Sense.
I would give this movie 8 eyeballs out of 10 heads. I liked the movie but don't think it is a everyone movie. Most people might hate it. On the plus side the events in this film can't happen now because of covid.
Alien Love Gardener wrote:I watched Evil Dead Rise. Apparently they used 1700 gallons of blood in the production of it, and yeah. That is a sticky, gory movie. Also, an excellent one.
I thought that Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive (aka Braindead) might still hold the record for fake blood but google says that the 2013 Evil Dead used upwards of 70,000 gallons, 50k of which was just in one scene.
My wife was almost horrified that I laughed during Dead Alive when the blood was flying around. Thankfully, when that guy in Game of Thrones had his head popped by that big guy The Mountain, she wasn't shocked, nor was she when the lead guy in True Blood just simply popped into a blood splash. I dunno, I grew up watching horror, so this stuff makes me laugh. Like Terrifier 2 with his interesting use of heads, and the tommy gun part of the dream. I find that stuff hilarious.
Movie night was The Deep House on Netflix. It’s predictable and tends to rely on wiggly, confusing camera work later on to suggest panic but we had fun with it. The deep house itself was extremely impressive. At times it felt like they’d found this old submerged house and were making a movie around it. It’s obviously not the case as the movie unfolds but the set dressing for ‘long abandoned house and contents at the bottom of a lake’ is immaculate.
Watched Bones and All which is a love story about people that eat other people. Yummy. No not a remake of Cat People. And if you seen Cat People when it originally came out you are old as F. Anyway the move reminds me most of The Shining 2 movie. I forget what the actual name of the movie is but some of the points are the same.
There isn't a lot of blood but there is some good blood scenes. Loved the acting. One creepy guy was perfect. The two young people were very good. The story was pretty good but could have been cut by 30 minutes.
I give the movie 8 bones and all out of 10. Not scary at all, more off putting.
I started that one and couldn’t cope with the first ‘incident.’ I must give it another try. I have Raw that I bought and haven’t plucked up the courage to watch yet.
Watched The Last Voyage of the Demeter which is about the ship that brought Dracula to London. The movie was way to long. There was three episode series on netflix that did the same thing but I thought that was good.
The kills were okay. The look was dark but still watchable. The acting was okay also. The main problem was the movie was just long for no reason. They could have cut a hour off this movie and lost nothing because the story is basic, monster on ship kills people.
I give the movie 4 who ate all the rats out of 10. The vampires ate all the rats. Needed some snacks between the main meals.
I don’t usually watch these kinds of short YouTube horrors but this one was brilliantly unpredictable.
Watched Dylan's New Nightmare a fan made nightmare on elm st movie. Thought it was pretty good for a fan made movie. You can watch it free on youtube. The dude playing freddy was really good.
Watched The Boogeyman which was not good. Just a bad bad movie. We don't get a lot from the monster. It was big fat nothing burger. Maybe it was representing grief, maybe it was space alien, maybe it was magic. I don't know.
There were mean girls that the movie didn't do anything with. There was nice friend that the movie didn't do anything with. The dad was a doctor but didn't know anything. The girls were just kind of there for the monster to attack sort of. I guess they were there for the dad to worry over. Their growth at the end mad no sense.
The one good thing is that I am still alive so can watch something else that has to be better than this. Well I guess there have been worse movies but man this was bad.
The Ruins is on Netflix in the UK. It’s not a perfect film but it’s very good and scary (I’ve also read the book.) If you don’t know anything about it go in as blind as you can.

That sounds crazy interesting
Watched Perpetrator on shudder. I didn't know anything about this before watching it. I liked the movie. Its a movie that will attract people that like to hate on movies with female leads and POC characters or gay people.
Now what is this movie about. I guess it is a coming of age movie of a girl that happens to be some kind of creature that can do some weird stuff like creating a blood universe that she can pull people into to kill them or hangout. That part kind of reminded me of under the skin. I think they were going for period blood. I was confused and still am but liked it.
Man the movie was vague and heavy handed at the same time. The movie doesn't exist in a real reality. People just don't act like the people in this movie. So it isn't a comedy but maybe it is, sort of. Do I tell you about the part where the main girl creates blood universes. One came out of her privates. Also there is cake. The cake is not a lie.
I give this move 8 David Lynch movies out of 10. Also this movie is woke don't watch it. It hates white males. It is going to make kids gay. woke woke woke, wokey woke woke. You been warned.. woke
Was in a horror movie watching mood so saw the following:
John Carpenters The Prince of Darkness (1987) . Hadn't seen this in years (decades?) but I recall loving it way back when. It follows the same trope of students being invited to, essentially, a haunted house, and bad things happen. Still enjoyed it even though its a bit of an unusual film with odd pacing and not much of a climax.
Would have been neat if they did make the sequel back in 1999 - anyone who falls asleep in the film sees the same vision sent back from the future of 1999. But the film was pretty much a failure and easily forgotten.
The Mummy (2017) - This is the one with Tom Cruise that was supposed to be the start of Universal Pictures Dark Universe franchise. The Tom Cruise hate was pretty high around this point and the infamous first trailer release which had no sound but mainly Tom Cruise grunts and screams pretty much sealed the fate of this film before it was released.
I think I saw it in theaters so didn't recall too much from it. It was ok and watchable but not so awful it should have killed off the entire franchise (also see Mass Effect: Andromeda). But the film took a while to figure out what it wanted to be. It starts off like 1999 Mummy where it's trying to be a comedic adventure film. Then the comedy drops off and things get more serious. This change works better but still in the end just an ok film. Would have liked to see them try another movie in the franchise.
Happy Death Day 2u - The sequel to the Groundhog Day serial killer flick. While not as good as the original it was still a fun film. The serial killer threat seems to take a back seat in this one. There's a whole multiverse thing going on and its mainly the main character trying to figure out if she wants to stay in this universe or go back to her other one.
So a bit light on the horror elements but still a fun watch.
I watched Murdercise. I regret nothing.
Watched Bad Milo which is about a monster that lives in a guy's butt. When the guy gets upset the monster crawls out of his butt to kill people. Then once the monster is done killing it goes back up the guy's butt. I have no idea why this didn't win a Oscar. Probably one of the best movies ever made. It had message and a freshness despite coming out of a guy's stinky butthole. I cried more than once.
I give this movie 7 monsters living in my butt out of 10. Very stupid silly comedy. Some blood but in a silly way. People that like butt play will love this movie or maybe be horrified by it. I don't know.
You’re really doing the lords work here.
Watched Halloween Ends, man if that's the last one talk about going out with a whimper. Bad stuff, believe you me.
Watched Bunker a WW1 horror movie. A group of soldiers take over a abandon German bunker. They soon learn the Germans left for a reason . Madness, a dark god, or some kind of bio weapon starts infecting the soldiers. Crazy S starts to having causing the men to kill each other.
I liked this movie. A little bit of a slow burn but I was never bored. The WW1 setting was good change of pace. The acting was pretty. The horror stuff was cool but I wouldn't say scary. I think Love Sex and Robots had two episodes that were similar to this movie.
I give this movie 8 grenades out of 10. They drop bombs in this movie.
I don’t usually watch these kinds of short YouTube horrors but this one was brilliantly unpredictable.
Thanks for this! It was a lot better than I thought it would be.
No problem
Oooooooh, Evil Dead Rise is coming to UK Netflix on the 21st September.
Watched The Chair it was good. Reminded me of the chair bad guy from The Tick.
Watched Cobweb which I was really digging until the last 15 minutes or so. The ending was just terrible. Made no kinds of sense. Hopefully there is another cut of this movie with a ending.
The movie is about a boy that might have bad parents. Something in the walls tries to "help" the kid. Then the movies kind of turns into a who is the bad guy guy here. Is there really someone in the walls?
The best part of the movie was teacher eye candy. Hmmmm well most of the movie was good. The ending just ruined everything. Did the writer quit before finishing the script? The movie has some very very heavy handed influences. You will be like that is a f ing meme. They turned the movie into a internet meme. booo.
I give this movie 4 thanks for getting my hopes up for nothing out of 10. That meme was stupid and made the movie stupid. Stupid no ending meme. If you have the internet you seen the ending.
I’d heard some positive things about Cobweb. Actually, now I think about it, it was two people who liked the movie who, themselves noted that a ton of folks didn’t and it sounds like for the same reason you didn’t. I might watch it anyway if I get the chance just to see how I feel.
Watched Halloween Ends, man if that's the last one talk about going out with a whimper. Bad stuff, believe you me.
They should have ended these movies after Halloween 4 in the 80s/90s. 1,2 and 4 are legendary. After those it went way off the rails.

I tried the newest of the 3 new ones, I turned it off after about 30 minutes. I got so bored with it, I was bummed. 1, 2, and 4 are definitely the best, even Halloween 3 was amusing and a silly stupid romp. What they should have done was kept it stupid and not trying to justify and explain who Michael Myers was/is.
