I'm excited for that one! Glad to hear it was good!

Also, they fucked up Exorcist: Believer so bad that they're going to the man who rescues franchises: Mike Flanagan. Lol

So I binged the rest of Them Season 2 and honestly? Pretty outstanding. Compelling plot. The directing, like the first season, is outstanding (look out for freaking Ti West directing the finale). It does a lot of really clever things with the plot where I expected on thing, and they gave it to me but then also added a twist to it. And then ANOTHER twist to it later.

The scares are great, but admittedly better earlier in the season than later. I also feel like the plot kind of unravels slightly towards the end. But I can't say I'm disappointed for a show that I didn't even expect a second season of. But now I hope it keeps getting more. Because damn, this is a strong show.

Yeah that dropped completely out of nowhere. I liked the first season a lot. Definitely let me know about the quality because I heard it's a little iffy and I'd rather spend my time watching Shogun right now I think.

Okay well absolutely spend your time watching Shogun first because there isn't much that touches Shogun in quality.

Three episodes into Them: The Scare and it still holds up. I have absolutely no idea where this show is going but it's doing a lot of really good stuff.

So out of nowhere, Amazon's Them came out with another season.

Just watched the first episode but holy fuck that was an outstanding first episode. It's black horror, and so far it absolutely rules. I'll let everyone know if it keeps up the quality.

I completely forgot this was still happening.

I just watched The Last Voyage of the Demeter again and it's still tragic that movie flopped as bad as it did, because it's awesome. (and on Showtime!)

I've heard From Season 1 is free on Amazon Prime right now if anyone wanted to give it a shot!

Got around to it.

Yeah, this one is quite good. I liked it a lot; very tense and it was like 50 minutes before I could even tell who the bad guy was. Even though I was able to correctly predict a few things about this movie at that point, I still really enjoyed the presentation. I bet the budget was smaller here with this one, but this is exactly how you do it. I really love these one location horrors lately.

Glad you checked it out! Just such a really cool film on a shoe string budget. It's just an awesome script that knows how to keep you on the edge. Hoping this team of directors blows up because they were awesome. It really makes me have a ton of faith in these indy movies with no budget can still end up being so damn good.

Outer Range Season 2 trailer! New season next month! God, it's going to be so good. Exceptional TV.

Yo The First Omen was actually amazing I thought. Extremely satisfied with this one. Tons of horror imagery that will stick with me, and the plot was actually outstanding. Very impressive from a director's first actual film outing.

I think Nell Tiger Free, who folks may know from Servant, was completely outstanding here. For as good as Sydney Sweeney was in Immaculate, I think Nell was many times better. She's just incredibly talented and people ought to take notice of how good she was in this film. The range she had was so good. I got serious Mia Goth vibes in that she feels like an actress that puts on these great performances and just needs someone to give her that big break.

Absolutely amazed that this movie also teased a sequel. No, not the original movie, but a side story. Lol I would love to see it, but it's questionable since this movie has only just beat its budget now. But I'll follow this director going forward.

I had a feeling History of Evil was going to be bad. Buddy, you should have went with You Will Never Find Me! I think that's one you would have vibed with!

Glad to hear you liked Baghead though! I thought it was a very enjoyable little movie.

I watched Baghead that just came out on Shudder.

Overall, a pretty good movie! Some legitimately chilling stuff in it. The plot was enough that it kept you guessing through quite literally the entire movie. Lots of surprises in it.

To give a quick description, a girl inherits her father's pub, where there's a woman with a bag over her head trapped down there. She can turn into dead people, but if she's changed for too long then she starts to become deadly.

It's a unique idea, and I love those. A strong showing from Shudder. They've been having a strong group of Shudder Exclusives lately! I recommend it!

The First Omen is out to pretty good reviews so far. I'm surprised.

I'm actually not. It looked legitimately good from the trailers in a way these pre-sequels usually don't.

Y'all, we need to be watching our for Cuckoo. It looks phenomenal.

Brother I was just shooting the shit in a throwaway post at something silly you said. Nobody is angry at you for it.

I think you'd find most folks agree that Edge has been a lot better in AEW than he ever was in his return in WWE.

The best Goosebumps stuff is that TV show that came out last year! But they decided to make it an anthology series now which... kinda sucks honestly since these characters were all great and they set up for the story to continue.

Also, I saw Immaculate yesterday. Outstanding movie! Exceeded my expectations! Sydney Sweeney was great and it was just a basic film of an immaculate conception that went places I didn't expect, and it was quite a grisly affair. I actually really recommend this one.

Yeah, I miss Edge in WWE sitting on a stool under a blue light, spitting and slobbering while speaking nonsensical garbage he thought might be good.

As always, everyone who WWE no longer wants starts to SUCK in AEW.

A+ marketing

I saw Late Night with the Devil! It was an really fun and creative movie. I really, really enjoyed it. Give me more weird, new ideas like this that are executed well please. Hell of a final act.

Yoooo guys, go out of your way to watch You Will Never Find Me on Shudder.

It's a movie about a girl who goes to find shelter in a guy's house during a terrible thunder storm. It's an extremely claustrophobic horror movie that stays in that single set piece and it flew past any expectations you have. Such a tightly wound and clever script that left me thinking I had the answers multiple times. Incredible last act of the movie. And the cinematography on this one is excellent too.

Check this one out. It's really special.

Ugggh hope I can see it this weekend.

I hear Immaculate is supposed to be really special too.

Whoo Outer Range is coming back on May 16!

For those unaware, it stars a lot of great actors like Josh Brolin, Will Patton, Imogen Poots, Lewis Pullman, and Tom Pelphrey.

It's about these two feuding ranches in Texas where a giant hole appears out of nowhere on their contested property. And from there, weird stuff keeps happening, especially with things that fall into it. It was an extremely good horror series and I've been so excited for season 2.

It's absolutely worth going out of your way for! Incredibly chilling stuff in it, really engaging drama, wildly unpredictable, and the cinematography is just outstanding.

It's on Amazon Prime! Here's a trailer for the first season!

This seems to be getting rave reviews. A slasher movie from the slasher POV. This seems like a movie that should very easily end up bad.

Lol The Poohniverse is somehow going to end up more successful than the Universal Dark Universe when that should have been a complete lay up.

Yo, the new The First Omen trailer looks absolutely awesome. I thought the first trailer was great, but this new one has me completely sold. I absolutely didn't expect this to look as good as it does. Very excited for it.

The fiance backed out of watching Imaginary so I'll have to watch it on my own.

We ended up continuing to watch Constellation which is such a good show. It does such a good job with space dread bullshit and what we bring back from it.

Yes, Friday.

I have no idea how this movie will turn out.

Trailer for The Strangers: Chapter 1 is out. It's literally just the same movie as the original. Lmao hope they surprise us but I dunno man.

They have three of these movies already filmed and ready, and they're actualizing the idea they intended to do for Fear Street, which is that they're releasing all three movies this year. I really don't know if this is the franchise to make this kind of idea succeed, but it should be interesting to follow.

Oh, I didn't like We're All Going to the World's Fair very much, but I at least appreciated what she wanted to do with it.

This looks like something that is much more what I would enjoy though!

Yoooo this movie looks sick. Another A24 artsy horror.

So I am once again recommending a show to watch. Constellation is on Apple TV and actually outstanding. It stars Noomi Rapace as an astronaut, and something hits their space station and forces them all to evacuate. She has to stay behind though, and she sees a lot of strange things happening. It's regarding some kind of experiment being run on there and a former astronaut and now researcher, played by Jonathan Banks, is in charge of that research. She eventually gets back onto Earth, but she's slowly losing it and she remembers things a lot differently.

It's not a full on horror, but it has a ton of horror elements. It's a big mystery that I think has been incredible at four episodes so far. There's some legit chilling stuff in this show. So if anyone wants to dare a TV show, I recommend it!

I won't be able to see it in theaters unfortunately. I'll have to wait to see it on some streaming thing. I was really excited to see it too.

Just watched Thanksgiving now that it's on Netflix! A very fun little Eli Roth slasher. I immediately hoped for a sequel, and Eli Roth has already confirmed there will be one in 2025! I love it. Give me more of these quality, silly slashers please.

Lisa Frankenstein was a really fun time! Just a fun, silly little gothic romance. Nothing too mindblowing about it, but I greatly enjoyed my time watching it. A lot of cool directorial choices from Zelda Williams here too. I'd be interested to see what she does next. Give me more of these freaking weird movies though. It really scratched a niche for me.

I know folks here don't like horror TV much, but The Terror is getting a third season, surprisingly.

I watched Night Swim yesterday.

It was, in fact, bad. But not terrible. It's just... a movie that you shouldn't try to make a feature length movie. It has some good visuals but nothing feels... good? Interesting? Extremely forgettable.

I feel like a better movie could be made out of this, but I don't get paid to know how. I wasn't bored, at least. I grant it that.

https://twitter.com/CultureCrave/status/1747140707536736711?s=20

FFS there has to be a way to do a budget She-Hulk show. Whatever they spent entirely too much money on was probably not worth it.

Glad to hear you enjoyed Sick! I was pleasantly surprised because I feel like most movies that are COVID related are pretty bad, but I felt this one somehow handled it well and made it all make sense. It doesn't feel like it takes itself fully seriously, but the tension is all there and I was pretty hooked for the whole thing. The reveals all felt satisfying too. Enjoyable flick!

Fuck me, the actual description for Thunderbolts is them being a bunch of villains being forced on a suicide mission. I hate this.

Oh then yeah, go for it. As far as COVID-related movies go, Sick was actually pretty solid. I probably would've given it a 7.5 or an 8.

I think Sick came out last year, but I really enjoyed that one too! I think the only other one that you may have missed was The Mill on Hulu. I can't remember if you saw that. But that one isn't really blow away or anything. I gave it a 7/10.

Oh I watched It's a Wonderful Knife. I appreciated how they used the premise of It's a Wonderful Life for a horror movie, and I thought the characters were fun too. I didn't love it, but it was good and I enjoyed my time.

I don't know if you're aware, but Sister Death is a part of the Veronica Cinematic Universe. Veronica is probably worth checking out if you enjoyed Sister Death.

He clearly had a vision for a trilogy, and I think the last movie set up for a lot. I just don't know how you go forward without seeing that trilogy through.

The Scream franchise is absolutely cooked now.

yeah this is the easy way to do it

You could also have had mutants/X-Men somehow "hidden" from the SHIELD / the entire MCU for the last forty years, via trapped in an alternate universe/space crystal /tardis. The first X-Men film could be set in the past and explain why they've been missing all this time.

You know it's just going to be bullshit multiverse stuff though.

Didn't they tease Mr. Sinister twice now in the Fox movies?

I've always loved Sinister. He's such a fucking weirdo and I delight seeing what writers do with him because it's always so interesting.

So I watched an ABC News thing talking about the Jonathan Majors title, and it had videos as well and talked about what happened in the trial itself.

So what it seems like is that Jonathan Majors' girlfriend was very drunk during this whole time, and she was trying to run out into traffic, and he was forcibly throwing her back into the car a few times. It was then that she got the injuries, and that's why it was reckless assault in the third degree. The jury agreed it was unintentional. However, there's also video of him running away from her and them fighting over his phone, which she was trying to take away from him, and she had injuries on a couple of her fingers too over this. The whole thing appears to have started with her thinking he was texting another girl.

During the trial, he had those insane text messages and the jury agreed those were harassment, but the harassment charge isn't even a criminal charge. It's like a parking ticket; it doesn't go on your record or anything.

What I found interesting was that Jonathan Majors didn't take the stand in court. He would have had to explain those insane text messages, and it seemed like he wanted to avoid that. Which is fair. However, had he taken the stand, he might have been able to explain his side more clearly about her taking his cell phone, among other things. It may have helped, but it may have hurt.

But what I think was the biggest screw up is that his counsel decided to go with the strategy of questioning his girlfriend's injuries and talking about how they weren't that bad which is a decent direction to go (even if the images show she absolutely was hurt), but they didn't argue that he had a right to self defense and a lawful right to use force to get his property back. It seems like they wanted to present Majors as having done nothing wrong at all and had never really hurt her that much, but they could have said "Even if he DID hurt her though..." and rattled off that argument. I think if they made that argument, he may have actually been found not guilty of everything. But it was never a thought in the jury's mind that he could have been acting lawfully if she took his phone, so they didn't factor it in.

I kind of understand the insane text messages if he felt he was going to lose everything over this, which he did. Especially since everything points to him not intentionally harming her and just trying to keep her from hurting herself further and trying not to let her take his cell phone. Things escalated, a lot of it by her acting recklessly by being drunk. It's a sad situation.

Yup. I was expecting that. They were just waiting for the verdict before severing the contract and not a second sooner to avoid any legal action.

Ugh, I just went on Twitter and everyone is reporting that he was just guilty of assault and harassment, which while true, is definitely missing the important detail that it's reckless assault, not intentional. And them all saying he's facing up to a year of jail time which, while true that third degree assault can have up to a year of jail time, it's so incredibly rare and he's just going to get a fine.

I think it's important to stress these details because people are going to think he just maliciously beat her or something and that if he gets less than jail time, it will be because he's a celebrity receiving special treatment.

Social media sucks.
