Anyone watched Relic? Poor rating on Amazon but recommended by a few reviewers.

I have it, but haven’t seen it yet. Reviews are poor, but I’ve heard some good things about it.

Would one of you guys be interested in being the judge of the Horror Movie category in the Great Movie Draft?

Relic- when Edna, the elderly and widowed matriarch of the family, goes missing, her daughter Kay and granddaughter Sam travel to their remote family home to find her. Soon after her return, they start to discover a sinister presence haunting the house and taking control of Edna (cut-pasted the movie synopsis). Slow burn domestic horror. 7/10.
The Rental- two couples on an oceanside getaway grow suspicious that the host of their seemingly perfect rental house may be spying on them. Before long, what should have been a celebratory weekend trip turns into something far more sinister, as well-kept secrets are exposed and the four old friends come to see each other in a whole new light. Starts slow but picks up steam. 7/10.
The Beach House- escaping to his family's beach house to reconnect, Emily and Randall find their off-season trip interrupted by Mitch and Jane Turner, an older couple acquainted with Randall's estranged father. Unexpected bonds form as the couples let loose and enjoy the isolation, but it all takes an ominous turn as increasingly strange environmental phenomena begin to warp their peaceful evening. 7/10.
All three of these were unexpectedly very decent.

I didn't realize your list was in there. Damn, I didn't see it before you removed it. Oh well, honestly more fun that way.

I think you know my taste quite well though!! Good luck!

I actually saw that Todem had his list and almost asked him to pull it - very cool of him to do so. And I honestly don’t remember a thing about his list - I imagine I will do poorly in that category as I know nothing about it and don’t enjoy it myself .
Oh well, honestly more fun that way.

The Rental was not good----my family hated every character out the box. Rule #1 of a horror movie is you have to at least care if they die. Earlier reviewer said it was a slow burn--it was.
Just not good and made no sense. 7.99 PPV not worth it. Redbox rental at best.

I didn't hate it for the genre but I'd say it was a C- effort. If you get a Amazon FireTV 4K and load Cinema TV APK on it, these movies are all free

Same here. We watched it (the Todem household are horror freaks) and thought it was ok. Not great. But I appreciate the original content Shudder keeps pumping out.

The remake Child's Play was pretty bad and boring.

I will fully admit that I don't love a lot of remakes/reboots, but I am not against the idea on principle or anything. It's just odd the choices they make sometimes, and completely neuter what made something creepy to begin with. Doll possessed by a serial killer >>>>>>>>> doll programmed with a bug by a disgruntled employee?

You knew it would happen. The first found footage film made entirely on a Zoom call is here! This was filmed in Quarantine and is pretty decent. The characters even remember to put their masks on when they run from their homes chased by ghosts!!
It really does nothing new outside of the Zoom gimmick but the haunts are done fairly well. It’s also only an hour so the common complaint of found footage where nothing happens for the first half of the movie is not so pronounced. Not a terrible watch.

Just watched it with Mrs. O. She said it was better than most of the crap I watch throughout my work weeks. Not too bad and definitely moves quickly. 3/5

Rewatched In the Mouth of Madness last night. It was one of the first horror movies I really loved back in high school. It holds up well enough since most of the effects are in the background and out of focus. I had a great time watching it again after 25 years.

Good one.
One that I have been thinking about lately for some reason is The Serpent and the Rainbow.

Watched The Lodge Sat Night
Ill give it 3.25/5 begrudgingly
Solid at times, cliche and confusing at others. I don't want to spoil it but there were definitely some parts that ranged between forced and "oh come on....".
Then again there were some solid suspenseful bits and it was quite well shot. Feels like maybe first half was 3.5/5 and second half was 2.75/5.

The Hole in the Ground
Very suspenseful movie about a boy who ventures into the woods and comes back to his mom as something else. A kind of Changeling feel to this movie, but it’s not bad. 3/5
The Haunting of Sharon Tate
Revisionist plot of what occurred (and not in a decent way like Tarantino) to Sharon Tate and her guests by members of the Manson family. 1.5/5
