Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings 2011
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fulKeIZM2-s
I like single room and escape room kinda styled horror movies, so its a pleasure to have one of my favorite slasher series straddle this genre.
Bros and Ladies are out skiing and snowmobiling when an incoming storm forces them to hide out in a supposedly abandoned mental asylum. Obviously its not abandoned. The inbred hillbillys that once escaped this place are still hanging around, and now with the storm outside, youre fucking stuck with them.
What it does better: They do a really good job at making the characters feel believably stuck. The storm is crazy, and the asylum is way isolated, so the choice is to stay inside with the cannibals and fight for your life, or go outside and guaranteed freeze to death.
The final scene of this movie is so stupid its funny, and it somehow manages to catch me off guard every fucking time. 8/10

Wrong Turn - 2003
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naUUyD-_oPc
I dont think I placed any movie so wrong before this one. What the fuck was I thinking?
Its just OK. It does the exact minimum that I want a movie like this to do, and really adds nothing special.
Generic handsomeface is on his way for the job interview of his life that never really gets touched on after the first 15 minutes. He rams into a broken down car, and some youngins are like yo wtf bro, and then the hillbillies show up and everyone is like YO WTF BRO and then they burn down a watchtower and run away or something.
What it does worse: Its just very generic. I think this is the only time we see the cannibals use guns, and they generally dont subject the victims to the same level of horror that they start to in later entries.
This should be at least 25 places lower. 6/10

Saw 7 - 2010
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faaKXZ4RsAQ
Not Sean Patrick Flannerys best performance. Ultimately, its pretty average for a Saw movie.
The main trap is kinda dumb. The traps all follow a theme see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, and worst of all, do not ever get lied to. What I DO like about this movie is Hoffman. He is a better Jigsaw than Jigsaw, and really turns it up another notch in this movie.
What it does better: The gore. I dont cringe easy, but damn they got me. The fish hook scene fucks me up no matter how many times I see it.
Seriously, fuck that scene. 7/10

Final Destination 4 2009
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gcQCUfDzjc
Disaster at the racetrack! This is a pretty solid final destination, and it has by far the best kill in the series so far.
Guy has a premonition about a crash at the racetrack that is so bad that it collapses a large concrete structure. It is a pretty good spectacle to kick the movie off with.
Survivors all start do die off one by one, yada yada. They dont really introduce any sort of spin on the formula in this one, and honestly thats fine. Instead, I think they put the thought into having a SECOND mayhem spectacle at the end of the movie. Good call.
What it does better: Dude getting his guts sucked out through his asshole by the pool pump was absolutely the most ridiculous fucking kill this series has ever seen. Its gross, and its a solid laugh every time.
Its good. 8/10

Leprechaun 5: In the Hood 2000
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40P3TYKEdKA
Its better than its sequel in every conceivable way.
Ice T gets ahold of the Leprechaun statue and a flute and some gold and uses it to build a criminal emprie / record label. Our main characters are 3 wholesome rappers who are really shitty at rap, and really stupid. They steal the flute and a bunch of gold, and the leprechaun gets loose and now hes after the idiots and Ice T.
What it does better: There is a scene in this movie where it is very heavily implied that the Leprechaun F(censored for gamefaqs).Crazy fucking move for a goofy gimmickey series that came out in the year 2000. Blows my mind every time.

Im gonna have that fucking Leprechaun rap stuck in my head for a week. 8/10

Wrong Turn 2 - 2003
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDmxolMK__0
Some idiots are putting on a reality TV show like survivor, but in the mountains of Appalachia. Sgt. Henry Rollins is the host, and he makes the whole movie worth watching.
Its exactly what you expect. Contestants are playing the game, cannibalss show up, cannibals start killing and eating the contestants. What you dont expect is that for the first and only time in the series, Henry Rollins is also hunting the cannibals.
What it does better: This movie solidly misdirects you on who the main girl is going to be, and it leads to one of the most shocking and unexpected kills in any slasher movie.
The best one. 8/10

Halloween 2 2009
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWBOfbZaA8g
This was my least enjoyable watch through of this movie. I was extremely sick, and only vaguely aware of what was happening in my delirious state. At some point, I was informed that the sheriff character, who I liked a lot, was the voice actor for Chucky through the entire Childs Play series. All of this made it really hard to process.
Michael is back, even though everone was sure he was dead, even though his body went missing. His sister finds out that she is adopted and he is her brother and shes already mentally unstable, so this just sends her over the edge into pure hysteria over the littlest shit. Shes annoying, but I think its well portrayed.
What it does better: The violence in this series just feels more real than any other I can think of. Hard to put words to it, but all the actors really sell the brutality of it all in a very realistic way.
While Michael was making peoples insides into their outsides, I was making my OWN insides into outsides. Puke/10

Hatchet 2006
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUogGGJtWPs
The cast and crew is filled with genre icons, and its clear they wanted to make a horror movie for horror fans. They did a good job.
Dork McNerdface is at Mardi Gras, and is bumming over his ex girlfriend, and doesnt want to get drunk and look at tits. He convinces his token black friend to join him on a haunted swamp tour. Theyre joined by the main girl, an old couple, a guy shooting a girls gone wild video, the girls gone wild, and the Asian guy from 13 reasons why.
The main girl wants to find her dad and brother, but they got killed in the prologue by the deformed ghost of victory Crowley, who is also going to start killing the tour group.
What it does better: The actress for the Main girl is just a million times better than her replacement.
Are you sure the number is 911? 8/10

The Cabin in the Woods 2012
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsIilFNNmkY
Interesting to watch this right after Hatchet. They are both sort of love letters to different horror subgenres.
A lot fewer familiar faces. Weve got Thor, blonde lady, token black guy, redhead lady, and shaggy from scooby doo. They are going to a cabin in the woods. Turns out they were being guided to this cabin by some clandestine organization to be sacrificed to the elder gods.
What it does better: I appreciate how its sort of a parody of this style of movie, without actually shitting on it. Its a decent horror movie without all the shit in the background, but with it, its pretty good.
8/10
Crazy rat lady https://imgur.com/QaL5W4V.jpeg
I have decided that next year I am going to watch all 100 movies synced up with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

Actually fuck that idea.
Crazy rat lady https://imgur.com/QaL5W4V.jpeg
Cabin in the Woods should be at least a 9/10 imo.

Also, you really like to rate movies 7/10 a lot.
75/100
Army of Darkness 1992
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j588xonGeuk
Pretty fun movie, although they did drop any pretense of this really being a horror movie
Ash got thrown back in time at the end of Evil Dead 2. The retconned the ending and now instead of worshipping him, they are going to imprison him.
He escapes, and they ask him to go get the Necronomicon so they can banish the demons and send him back to his own time. He fucks up, doesnt say the right words, and now the demons are attacking because they want the book.
What it does better: I have to say, given the budgetary constraints, the final battle is a pretty decent spectacle. The did a lot with a little, and I respect it.
Klaatu Barada Nikto. 8/10

1408 -2007
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIASqPZqnhs
For the first time, I actually think this one maybe belongs higher on the list.
Its a very different, very cool type of horror movie. I love single room horror, and this movie does it in a unique way.
John Cusack writes books about haunted hotels and motels and wants to go write his final chapter about room 1408 at the dolphin hotel. The room actually IS fucking evil for a change, so he ends up stuck in there, and it proceeds to just fuck with him psychologically with the intent to get him to off himself.
What it does better: Its a good horror movie, that does not rely on gore at all. A rarity for sure.
I WAS OUT 9/10

Also, you really like to rate movies 7/10 a lot.

Its a good movie, but doesnt cross the threshold into great for me, which I would require for a 9-10/10.

The horror tropes as some kind of ritualistic ceremony would of been cooler straight on. Like, shaggy finds out he's a descendant of cowardly freaks and trying to break the trend or something.

And yeah, especially in the middle of the list I gave a lot of 7/10s.
I show a total of 38 movies rated this way. Out of 100 movies total I'd say that more or less tracks.

This is a list is mostly titles that I enjoy, so ideally once I hit #10, nothing should have fallen below a 5/10, and most of it should be a 7 or higher.
They're not all gems. In fact, most of them are objectively bad movies, but I enjoy them more than the average movie, so they get an above average score.

Evil Dead 2 - 1987
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7WNgzilRBw
Its the best of its kind. Bruce Campbell is funny and charming, and overacts just the right amount for me.
Picks up where the first movie left off, and sort of quickly recaps the first movie. Ash and his girlfriend broke into a cabin in the woods, found the Necronomicon, and read from it. Demons start possessing his girlfriend who he has to kill twice and then they just proceed to fuck with Ash for a while.
Eventually, the actual owners daughter shows up with a couple of hick escorts. The demons possess and fuck with them while they try to figure out a way to banish them or escape.
What it does better: Legitimate laughs, and a constant stream of very quotable one liners makes this movie a pretty indisputable classic.
DEAD BY DAWN 9/10

Seed of Chucky 2004
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKc-mP5xXQY
Whaaaaat the fuck is this movie lol. The addition of their genderless child really gives the whole thing a very surreal feeling, and I truly enjoyed it.
Said genderless child tracks down chucky and his girl, who are being used now as animatronics for a movie series. THIS movie series. He voodoos them back into consciousness, and they try to simultaneously convince him to kill, and not to kill. Jennifer Tilly plays herself, and the bride of chucky, who wants to make her have a baby, and then take over her body.
Its so all over the place, and its so fucking confusing. Is this movie taking place in the movie universe? Our universe? Did the two merge? Who knows? Best not to worry about it and enjoy the insanity.
What it does better: The kid doll is yet another great addition to Chuckys family. Watching Chucky and his girl contend with the idea of this parody of parenting was a lot of fun.
I dont know whats going on, and I like it. 9/10

Saw 6 - 2009
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKxcf50t1xE
Its wild that Kevin Greutert seems to understand this series and its fans so much better than any of the other directors. He was an editor on most of the earlier entries, and finally gets to step in and direct on this one.
Scumbag insurance executive gets put into a series of traps where he has to decide who lives and who dies much like he does in his day-to-day job. In the end, he gets injected with a bunch of hydrochloric acid and it melts him in half. Most satisfying death in the series.
What it does better: Like I said, Kevin Gruetert just gets it. He makes so many cool choices in this movie. The shotgun carousel for example. Its a twist on the usual trap where the camera will often do circles around the victim, and instead, the people spin in a circle around the camera. Very clever, very well done.
From now on, I control all aspects of the game. 9/10

Saw X 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3PzUo4P21c
Like a lot of other fans of the series, I was shocked at how good this movie was.
Jigsaw is going to Mexico to get treatment for his brain cancer, but the people doing the treatment are actually just con artists and stole a bunch of his money.
He catches them all, and puts them into some of the most brutal fuckin traps in the series.
What it does better: Jigsaw is the protagonist in this one. It flips the script in an unexpected and good way and has you rooting for a character that isnt easy to like.
Theyre rebooting this series instead of continuing it. Completely stupid. Still, this one is a 9/10

Halloween - 2007
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qKmXIy9Juk
Still stuck on the sheriff being the VA for Chucky. I already liked his character, but it feels totally different knowing that.
Whereas the old carptenter turd picks up right after mikey kills his family, this one actually spends a fair amount of time following him around as a kid as you see the telltale signs of the lunatic he is going to become. We also spend a good amount of time at the asylum watching him devolve further, and eventually escape. He comes after his baby sister, and yeah, the story is pretty similar to the original now.
What it does better: I dont care that its an unpopular opinion. Carpenters Halloween movies fucking suck. Rob Zombie does a way better job at making Michael into a terrifying and brutal figure.
9/10

Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y10jRZLzTAE
Its the best main series entry. Jason is a fucking unstoppable monster, and now he is loose in a highly populated area. You almost wish that you got to see him inflict a little more mayhem, but thats the thing about a good meal it always leaves you wishing you had more.
Highschool fieldtrip to Manhattan featuring such character staples as the promiscuous cheerleader type, the world class boxer, the sheltered girl, the overbearing principal, the captains son, the rocker chick, and the AV club nerd. Theyre taking a boat that is unwittingly transporting some dangerous cargo. Its Jason, and he chases them around the boat until they get on a lifeboat and then he just fucking jumps in and walks ashore.
Follows them around the city, murder murder murder, drown some dude in toxic waste. Basically just an average night in New York, but the guy doing it is a zombie in a hockey mask.
What it does better: I lose my fucking mind every time I see Julius square up and start trying to box Jason. You cant see his face, but I like to imagine that there is a look of at least moderate respect on Jasons face before he hauls off and punches the dudes head off. Its my favorite kill in the series.
RIP Julius. 9/10

Dawn of the Dead - 2004
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV8mJcuYVaA
28 Days Later may have been the real start of the 2000s zombie trend, but this one kicked it into the next gear.
A nurse is getting off her shift at the hospital, and we are already seeing the early warning signs that something is wrong. She wakes up the next day, and the zombies have practically taken over. She meets up with a bunch of other survivors, and they all end up at the mall. More survivors show up, we have some half decent drama, and then someone gets the bright idea that they should sail off to an island on some assholes boat and so they start rigging up some busses to try to drive through the horde to the marina.
What it does better: The chaotic suburban hellscape at the start of the outbreak has really stuck with me since I fist saw this movie over 2 decades ago.
Fuck its been 2 decades? 9/10

Saw 2 2005
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnZKPoZixg8
Despite being very different from the original, its still a good movie. This was probably Jigsaw at his absolute peak.
A group of criminals are all stuck in an old house. Theyre informed that there is some sort of toxin or something being pumped into the air, and if they dont get antidotes, they will surely die. The antidotes are all over the house, but theyre all locked behind some pretty heinous traps that will require some sort of painful sacrifice to access.
Detective Donnie Whalberg meanwhile has caught Jigsaw, and we find out t hat one of the people in the house is not a criminal, but a detectives son, which is probably not good for him if anyone finds out.
What it does better: Theres a of good to say about it. Some of the traps are genuinely hard to watch (the needle pit is one of the worst in the series), but all of them feel very relevant to the people who are supposed to be subject to them. Psychologically, its feels like a pretty huge escalation from the first.
I remember this getting more hate than I ever though it deserved. Its a 9/10

Final Destination 6: Bloodlines - 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWMzKXsY9A4
I watched this earlier this year, and really liked it. I tried it again this round skipping the Tony Todd scene because I was thinking that scene could have sort of tinted my perception of it. Like, we were saying goodbye to a horror icon, so of course you thought this was better than it is kinda thing. Im pretty happy to say that no, this is legitimately good entry in the series. Best one since the original.
Back in the olden days, a guy is bringing his dame to one of those sky view type restaurants. She has a vision of it collapsing and killing everyone, and saves the whole party. We come to find out that this incident is probably what has been cascading out and causing all of these other horrific accidents from the other movies. When the lady dies death starts coming for her kids and grandkids who we follow around.
What it does better: I keep saying this about other movies, but the directions get what makes a good Final Destination. Im probably going to go back and watch this one again in its entirety before the month is over.
RIP Tony Todd. 9/10

Final Destination 2000
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIf5pgKcu9s
What can I say? Its the start of one of my favorite series, and it set a pace that the others just have not been able to keep up with. They originally meant for this to be an episode of the X-Files, but thankfully someone saw the potential for this as a movie instead.
Flight 180. Highschool kids are going to Paris, one of them has a vision of the plane exploding and gets removed along with a bunch of other classmates and a teacher. The plane explodes, and the survivors start dying off in the order they were supposed to die in during the crash.
What it does better: I dont know how to put this, but death seemed so much smarter in this movie than he ever did in the others. It didnt just stage deaths as freak accidents. Instead, it seemed to go out of its way to frame them more as potential murders and suicides. So now the main character isnt just running from death, but law enforcement is basically impeding them every step of the way.
In death there are no accidents, no coincidences, no mishaps, and no escapes. 9/10

The Monster Squad - 1987
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBAEGVpEfr4
Its the closest thing to a classic monster movie on my list. Really its just an homage to classic monster movies. Maybe Ill put 10 actual classics on here next year to kick it off. Im sure Ill hate that.
80s kids in a monster club find out monsters are real, and Dracula is going to get the ring or the gem or the amulet or something and destroy all the good in the world. They proceed to spend their time hanging out in their treehouse, or running about town asking if girls are virgins, and stealing glowing rocks and shit.
What it does better: I just want to say how weird it felt to see a kid in a movie with a solid father figure and they actually have a good relationship. It feels good.
Wolfmans got nards. 9/10

Jason Vs Freddy 2003
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij9c4_yFwks
Its a shock every time I watch it how goddamn good this movie is. The odds were stacked against it ever being made, let alone actually being GOOD and yet here it is.
Freddy summons Jason to scare the kids because if theyre not afraid then he has no power, and Freddys not all that scary. Jason shows up and starts doing his thing, and Freddy like wait, youre too good at this and theres gonna be no one left for me
What it does better: Jason just absolutely bodies Freddy anytime they meet outside of the dreamworld, and I find it cathartic.
Best movie for both characters. 9/10

Smile 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcDK7lkzzsU
Saw this for the first time last year and really enjoyed it. Did not enjoy the sequel. Still, this one stands on its own.
Trauma psychologist sees a patient violently kill herself, and then starts having visions that match what the patient said they saw in the days leading up to her suicide. We come to find out there is a chain of brutal suicides going back at least a couple dozen people. Someone sees someone kill themselves, and then shortly after, they kill themselves, and then shortly after someone who witnessed their deal with kill themselves and so on.
What it does better: The demon feeds on trauma and fuck if it isnt real good at inflicting it. They really do make you feel the main characters stress through the whole fuckin ordeal.
It was fresh, scary, and just a good movie. 9/10

Seven 1995
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znmZoVkCjpI
Damn this movie is 30 years old.
Serial killer is killing people in ways that represent each of the seven deadly sins. Detective Morgan Freeman and Junior Detective Brad Pitt are on the case. Weve all seent it. No more summary really needed.
What it does better: They make it scary without actually showing people actively dying. They do gore without serious gore. Its just really well done.

The Leprechaun 4: In Space
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OX9ar5zbnM
Hell yes. Leprechaun in Space. Ive been looking forward to this one.
Space Jim Carrey and his crew kill the space leprechaun and rescue the space princess. One of the guys pees on the dead leprechaun, which it uses to travel upstream an into his dick. Now hes loose on the ship, and he wants to abscond with his terrible golden space princess and kill everyone. German doctor guy runs the ship, and wants to pay Space Jim Carreys crew to capture the little turd.
What it does better: Its a very memeable movie. Especially ze german doctor. Its just a fun, funny ridiculous movie.
Its a fucking 9/10, and its a struggle for me to not give it a 10.

Ravenous - 1999
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7BDiNktrLU
Its one of those hidden gems that you just feel cool for knowing about.
Lt. Boyd is a coward. He played dead during the Mexican American war, and ended up drinking the blood of his commanding officer which gave him super strength, speed, and courage. He captures the enemy command in his amped up state, but HIS command all know he is a coward. They dont want to openly punish him, so the promote him and send him off to some middle of nowhere fort so that everyone can just forget about him.
A guy shows up, and he has also been eating people, and also noticed how it gave him a certain virility
What it does better: It could not have been easy to make a movie about cannibalism so engaging. They dont make it excessively gross or gratuitous, despite it being so prevalent throughout. A lot of good performances too, makes this one of the greats in my humble opinion.
Im going to be a lot more generous with the 10s this year on account of the absolute slog that the first 3.5 weeks were. This one is right on the line. Im giving it a 10/10.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfiG6mD9g3c
Bill Paxtons best movie.
A guy lives alone with his two boys and he has a vision that God wants him to hunt and kill demons. The younger brother is all-in and totally believes it, but the older boy thinks his dad is just killing people.
Between scenes we flash forward in time where Matthew McConaughey is talking with a detective about his brother who he says is the Gods Hand killer.

28 Days Later - 2002
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWEhfF27O0c
Its the first really serious zombie movie of a generation, and it does its job very well.
The rage virus is spreading across the UK. It transmits via blood, which everyone infected seems to be able to puke up at will. We follow a young dude who wakes up in the hospital days almost a full month after the outbreak and wait a second, did the walking dead just rip this entire movie off with its opening sequence?
What it does better: The Zombies are so aggressive that it makes them feel like a very real and present threat that could show up and fuck everything up with a moments notice.
Probably the best in the genre. 10/10

It Follows 2015
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkZYbOH0ujw
Best executed original idea in horror for many many years.
Movie opens with a girl running out of her house in her underwear seemingly running from something that nobody else can see. Cut to later and we see that same girl, mangled into an uncomfortable shape on the beach.
Our new main girl, not the girl who got mangled, is on a date with a guy. AFTER they have sex he drugs her and ties her to a wheelchair and tells her that It is going to come for her. Its slow, but its not stupid, and it is ALWAYS going to be headed your way.
Basically, its a sexually transmitted demon curse. If you sleep with someone, it will follow and kill them, and then come back for you. It can look like anyone. Someone you know, or just a spooky looking stranger. Whatever the case, its always out there, and its always walking slowly in its targets direction.
What it does better: This movie has the best jump scare that I am aware of in any movie. The characters dont act like complete idiots. They come up with very feasibly plans to do deal with the monster, and while they might fail, I dont think any of them are particularly stupid or bad plans.
It gets a 10/10

Cube 1997
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shcK9b-TQIo
The movie that kicked off my love of single room / escape room styled horror.
6 People wake up in various cube shaped rooms. The walls, floor and ceiling all connect to different cubes, some of which are trapped. The rooms also move and shift, so you never know when youre suddenly going to get shifted to the opposite side of the structure.
One of the characters pieces together that the rooms are all numbered with a sort of Cartesian coordinate system, and with that in mind she can map about how big it is, and maybe figure out a way to lead them out.
What it does better: I mean, they made one of the alltime greatest horror movies on a budget of next to nothing, with just a single room to work with. Its proof positive that a really good idea doesnt need a billion dollar budget to make a good movie.

Saw - 2004
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaANSeQ3La4
Similar to the last, we are back to more single room horror, but with a much more dirty, brutal psychological twist to it. The room isnt going to hurt you. YOU are going to hurt you.
Everyone knows this movie I am sure. 2 guys wake up in a room, chained to the wall. They find Saws and realize that if they want out, they will need to saw through their legs. Still there are puzzles hidden all over the room that hint at a different way out.
What it does better: It is the beginning of my favorite horror series, so pardon me if I am biased, but this movie is fucking spectacular. For the one and only time in this series, the big twist at the end is actually put right in front of your face the entire movie, but you still never saw it coming.

American Psycho
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YnGhW4UEhc
What can I say. Its very nearly a perfect movie.
Who hasnt seen this? Patrick Bateman is a wallstreet exec. Hes super wealthy, and super obsessed with his status, and by extension his appearance. All of this because he just wants to fit in. Also, he is a serial killer, at least in his mind.
The end of the movie leaves it ambiguous, and I like that. After everything youve seen, youre now made to question whether or not you think any of it actually happened.
What it does better: One of the best movie type movies of all time. Its scary, funny, sexy, thought provoking, and just generally very interesting. Great writing and directing. Great performances from the entire cast. I dont feel like there is much to justify it here.

Event Horizon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCtk3KN_ylM
Im always sad that we will never get to see the lost footage, but still glad that this movie got to happen.
A rescue crew is going to the outer reaches of the solar system on a mission. The Event Horizon has reappeared after just vanishing 7 years ago. The official story is that it was a research vessel, and that is sort of true. The ship was researching the ability to travel using an artificial black hole and folding space. The experiment went wrong, and the ship *poof*
The ship was clearly lost in the warp from 40k, because now its all demon possessed and the crew is all splattered about, and it wants to take its new crew over to the other side too now.
What it does better: Watching this just fills me with such existential dread. Hell was on the other side of that jump, and its horrifying.

In the Mouth of Madness 1995
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlugldzO9zY
A very close contender for my favorite movie of all time, and certainly my favorite horror movie of all time.
Sam Neil is a private insurance fraud investigator, and he gets a job for a book publisher. Their biggest author, Sutter Cane (possibly the most famous author in this world) has gone missing right when his new book In the Mouth of Madness was set to release. The book is clearly making people crazy, but we will get back to that later. For now, we gotta go to this creepy small town where all of his books are coming to life.
What it does better: What doesnt it do better? Sam Neil is a great actor, and he really makes this one a treat to watch. His character has a very believable descent from sharp tongued no-nonsense badass to last remotely sane person watching the world end and I just really enjoy it.

And thats 100/100.
Now that its over, I want to explain something.
This tradition is at least partially inspired by The Worst Idea of All Time podcast where they would watch the same bad movie once a week for an entire year. Usually, it would be something like Sex and the City 2 or Grown Ups 2 and they would never see the original movie. Just keep hammering the same shit into their heads over and over in the hopes that eventually it will be good. Id done this for many years before the podcast, but it really sort of solidified the idea into what it is now where I actually feel committed to it.
I admire their dedication to a bad idea. I think we could all stand to commit harder to more bad ideas so that we can really appreciate the opportunity to make good ones or some pseudo philosophical bullshit like that.

I am saying all of this because holy shit this format was a bad idea. I think I enjoyed this less this year than I ever have before, but I committed to it. Nothing was going to stop me or force me either way but me. I made this choice, and stuck to it for a month, and it was a bad fucking choice. I will never ever ever format it like this again.
Forcing a list of 90 movies into this long of a ranking sucked. Breaking up series of movies and watching them out of order sucked. Justifying why each movie earned a higher spot sucked. Ranking 38 movies 7/10 in a row sucked. Only the last week or so was cool because I just got to watch a bunch of good movies, but those first 3.5 weeks were just awful.

If you had the patience to read any of this then bless your heart. It was real fuckin joyless.
Regardless, I hope you all have a Happy Halloween. Ill be back for more next year if were all still alive.

I have decided that next year I am going to watch all 100 movies synced up with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

Actually fuck that idea.

I take it back. I am absolutely doing this. 1 Listen per movie.

You really only should do something for your own enjoyment.
I do think a bigger point scale or decimals would help.

I definitely agree with your final two movies being masterpieces.

That sounds like an incredibly hedonistic way to life your life.

If there is no harm done, what's wrong with fun?
I'm more nihilistic, but if there isn't a point to anything, then I'm going to make the most of it.
Do you though
