    Evil Dead has never missed! Really looking forward to it, one of the only horror franchises where the modernized remake is also solid.

    So watched 2 """horror"""" movies today... well at least thats what the title said.

    Ready or Not

    I liked this one a lot. Honestly to me its more of a thriller.. I guess the gives it the horror label. But it was fun, never boring and the ending was good. Nothing more, nothing less. 7/10

    Bird Box

    I wanna say so many good things about this movie, but the truth is that this never makes any sense. Its full of clichés, ending is lame and zero character development. The reason I want to like its because its a beautiful movie and I love the premise.. but they did nothing with it. When the movie ends its like a million times: why? So many questions unanswered that you can't really call it a satisfying watch. 5/10

    Haha yeah, I always take what Marsh says with a grain of salt. Sometimes I completely agree with him, other times not so much

    Yeah, the premise is really good and the original trilogy still holds up today as good and goofy horrors. I hope it turns into an horror, anthology series one day, as there is lot of interesting stories you can tell with the concept. Better than just remaking the OG movie again etc and just leave the Ash universe alone for good now. Which I think they’re doing with Rise.

    I thought it was better than it had any business being. Wasn’t too meta but still got its commentary across. The kills were great. Ghostface was used very, very well in my opinion, especially the train scene. Wish I got around to watching the last one, im sure I would have enjoyed this more, but it didn’t detract from my viewing. I was right and wrong about who the killer was.

    I would watch this again.

    @Michael Myers I finally got around to watching your 2018 film tonight! I gotta say your acting was pretty great, I can’t believe you got ran over by a cop car! You took that like a champ! I don’t really have too many thoughts about the movie right now other than it’s an enjoyable horror film for what it is, and I can’t wait to watch Halloween Kills soon!

    I like the whole trilogy but for most people it's only downhill from here, good luck!

    Good to hear brother! Have you seen the original movie too?

    H2018 is great. Great combination of nostalgia and something new.

    Halloween Kills is kinda 2018 on steroids. There are a lot of 'facepalm' moments but its , imo, very fun and enjoyable. Ends is the opposite, its more slow... and has a new story mostly. I was confused the first time I watched it but I definitely appreciate it now. Have fun and lmk what u think!

    I agree with both points tbh.

    It does go downhill imo, 2018 is by far the best of the 3. But I think Kills is waaaaay overhated except for some stupid moments and Ends, yeah they let us think it was a different movie. It had to grow on me, but it definitely did! I'm happy with the trilogy as a whole too.

    No, I haven’t. I’ve seen clips of the older movies here and there, but never in full. I just thought I’d watch this new trilogy first and then go back to the old ones since the newer ones are more relevant to the current conversations. I know that’s probably not the smartest way to go about it, but I’ve watched different movie franchises out of order before and did just fine. I know the basic story of Michael Myers
    I definitely will let you know! I think I’ll have more in-depth thoughts once I watch all the movies. Then I’ll be able to compare the movies and figure out what I truly like most in a Halloween movie.
    That’s good to hear. I feel like Halloween 2018 didn’t have that many brutal kills. I don’t think that makes the movie worse or anything, it’s just something I noticed

    I wonder what you'd think of the Rob Zombie Halloween reboot movies, they're super different but I still love the first one. Need to watch the second.

    Definitely watch these ones and some originals first tho

    From the older movies the OG is the only one that 'matters' for the trilogy. The rest are different timelines anyways! Fun to watch, but not needed for 2018 and on.

    Oh if you want brutal kills, you will be in for a treat!!

    The funniest scene in the whole franchise lmao

    Also never seen 2 in full either. Turned it off after 20 minutes when they ruined all characters. It was fine and a good different take, but Jamie's Laurie >>>>>> This one.
