I also really liked all the write ups so this is going to be a fun topic for me. Something that stood out:

PrinceKaro - The world suddenly comes under assault by an unknown entity which if you see it you go mad and die from self inflicted harm. The exact thing is never shown on screen, but I assume it is either an unfathomable elder horror or Donald Trump's naked body.

Anyway, a bunch of survivors shack up in a house zombie apocalypse style, only with no zombies. Or at least none that are shown on screen because you can't handle the truth or something. Now, don't get me wrong, absence of description can often lend amplification to terror, but honestly this just feels kind of cheap in a 'we couldn't afford the budget for the monsters' kind of way.

There is a lot of conflict and betrayal between the survivors on the 'humans are the greatest evil' path, and I always appreciate that.

I just felt I was more invested in the present day story rather than the flashback, and the way the latter almost completely takes over the movie just so it can be a mediocre version of The Walking Dead is a bit disappointing.

And this ranked 12 for you? That's crazy for me because it seems pretty negative and I thought this was a super strong list. Totally understand having different opinions and all, but I was just surprised there were only 11 movies that you had better things to say about. Like I'm less surprised you had Bird Box and 12 and more surprised that your write up for 12 was this negative overall.

Also something I definitely disagree with is them not showing the monster being a bad thing. I thought that was one of the smarter things the movie did. Almost anything they put together would've been dumb so I liked the idea of them having some restraint and not even attempting eldritch horror here.
