Scream [5] (2022) - A good "requel." I had much of it spoiled by reckless youtube video viewing about horror movies *sigh* but I do feel like I would have known some of it had I not been spoiled. Overall, it was pretty good. Lowish body count, but it was effective with its selected kills. I guess another Scream is coming out soonish? (like in the next year or two) so... no idea what to expect from that.

Mayhem - Fun as fuck. Great anti-corporate commentary. The primary protagonist pair were amazing individually and even better as a dynamic duo. I would have like slightly less camp (ONLY SLIGHTLY LESS) and a bit more carnage, but overall, it was a hilariously on-point story. Recommend highly.

They/Them - Very interesting. I saw the low ratings and I knew why they were what they were. I enjoyed it overall. A lot of uncomfortable stuff, but the message was on point and overall I think it did exactly what it meant to do and did so very well.

Karen - MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD (nothing that isn't listed in the movie's description). This was a very blatantly made for TV movie. The early dialogue was terribly written. The main antagonists said like 50 words to each other in one scene and 30 of those words were "baby" but overall it had a good message. It just seemed a bit cliche to me with the message but not because of any issue with the message. The message was exactly what it needed to be. I just saw it so late that the delivery seemed derivative of reality... but shitty reality... like "okay this Karen is a shitty cliche racist" but at the time, she would not have been so cliche a few years prior. Kinda scary in retrospect. When a fictitious on-screen Karen is saying things constantly that makes you think "I've heard all of this before irl," you know you're living in a really fucked up version of irl. That's the message. It delivered on that. I would like to see a better story with a higher budget in a bigger studio to really drive the point home since this will be ignored probably.

Also watched a youtube video of upcoming horror movies ranging from pre-production to already made (and a few probably already released) and it hyped me up. Another saw, another final destination, another evil dead, another happy death day (lol... but come on now. I want to see how it ends) etc.
