Beast - Decent overall. Basically Jurassic Park but with a pissed off lion instead of dinosaurs (and one of Idris Elba's daughters was wearing a Jurassic Park t-shirt >_>). Well paced. CG lions looked better than I was expecting.

13 Fanboy - This one was weird. It felt very low budget, but had a ton of original actors from the Friday the 13th franchise, including 2 Jason actors, all playing themselves as a scorned franchise fan started targeting them. Again, felt low budget and rushed, like some kind of shared passion project, but the acting was very subpar (maybe it was supposed to be because they were playing themselves?) and the pacing was all over the place. Red herrings were too over the top and obvious. Overall, it was not good. Dead Meat James (Kill Count youtuber) was actually in the movie as himself, along with a few other horror youtubes in cameos, so that was unexpected and neat at least. Also Corey Feldman was in it and his character was insufferable.

The House that Jack Built - This one was very bizarre. Same level of disturbing as Maniac which I mentioned before, though more psychologically disturbing whereas that one was more body horror disturbing. One kill in this was particularly brutal and terrifying but it was done off screen. Had lots of Greek mythology themes to it which I liked.

Pet Sematary - (Remake) I liked the pacing and storytelling better than the original. It felt more slow burn, which I liked. Gonna have to tag this part because I can't not discuss it but it has to be spoiler-tagged... the trunk scene tension and fake out with the son only to kill the daughter instead was a good touch imo. The misspelling of Cemetary has always bothered me but it was addressed nicely in this one >_>. I liked John Lithgow as Jud.

Also rewatched a few movies I've already seen but I want the 31 to be all new to me, so I'll only include those as bonuses assuming I go over 31 in time.
