Last Film You Watched

Yeah, I laughed a lot in the final 20 minutes.

Not sure they ran out of ideas, they needed to cut a load of stuff out, and keep it simple.

As @Nymzee said, too much trying to cram in lore nonsense, where a stripped back ‘Prey’ type approach is what it needed.

I was surprisingly engaged for the first hour-ish

The Ian Holm Deep Fake / CGI was dreadful, and very distracting.

Yes, that’s fair. I have probably forgotten most of it because I wasn’t paying attention as soon as the nostalgia based nonsense cropped up and I’m in no rush to watch it again 😀
 
Salems Lot 2024.

Nowhere as bad as some of the critics are making out.

Yes, parts of it are rushed, to crunch the story into the films running time and it lacks character development as a result, but it’s still an entertaining film, with a good cast.

I’ve read the book loads of times, so know the story inside out and the best way to view this film ( imo ), is to forget about the book / tv mini series and just view this as a new film, rather than compare it to the original.

Tbf we should always do that, especially as 9 times out of 10 the remake can't hold a candle to the original, but also many times there will be many ppl who haven't seen/are unaware of/might not be interested in the og, so how good it is is largely irrelevant. If they like the modern version maybe/hopefully they will go back and see the og and like that even more. Same should apply really for non-linear sequels/prequels.

Watched it mate.

What a mad film and standouts from the two leads, Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner, who normally play lesser roles.

It’s got that B movie vibe, with A movie writing and acting.

It’s seriously messed up though and I think Tarantino may have some competition from this director.

Ended up going back and watching it through. So glad I did, absolutely brilliant
 
The missus and i have really treated ourselves to spooky season flicks the past couple of weeks, here's a few

Oddity - two thumbs up. At points we knew what was coming and we still shrieked and practically jumped off the couch
Host - Some really good jump scares. Plot was ridiculous, but clocking in at just an hour, it was an easy watch. Entertaining.
Hell House Origins - we really liked the original Hell House LLC. I'd say this one was as good as that one - found footage, done well.
Late Night with the Devil. More a psychological thriller than true horror/jump scares. An interesting movie worth a watch - it's a different type of film
Lake Mungo. It felt like a real documentary and in this respect it was really well done. Directed by a guy that produced Late Night with the Devil - similar less horror/jump scare and more psychological. Another well done movie.

Tried watching the first VHS from 2012 and couldn't make it past the first 15 minutes. Way too "bro-ey". I've heard that some others in the franchise as pretty good, but this one was a little too much for me. Maybe i'll get back and watch that one myself

Just moved it up my “ to watch “ list 👍
