I stole a bit of Curt's list and some movies I didn't get to last year.
And then filled in the gaps. (And kept my anime category because why not) | | |

What. a. ride.
I really don't know what I expected going into this movie but it sure wasn't what I got. Up until the last 20 minutes of the movie, I really thought this was just going to be a classic scary movie. It almost felt like a really well done student film that had to put in at least 7 classic horror movie tropes to pass. And had it finished out like that, I probably would be ranking this a little bit higher.
But the end?? I truly have no idea what I just watched. I guess a murdering group of kids? Just hanging out in these sewer tunnels and killing people for fun? I don't know. I felt like there was no real conclusion to the movie either? We never even got to see Clem die outside of her being dragged away from the sewer grate. It was just kind of a lackluster ending to a movie that had some really good moments. And I really don't feel like it felt like a home invasion movie since they left the house pretty quickly after the bad guys broke in.
Honestly, my favorite parts of the movies where the wife and the husband were together at the beginning. But that's only because it felt like a cute little romance movie but you knew something horrible was going to happen. Overall, I can't say I was a HUGE fan but I didn't hate it and I'd probably show it to someone else to have to experience the twist ending of the killing kid pack.
Conclusion: I do still feel safe in my home. |

Not my favorite of scary movies but I thought that it held up spooky-wise? I thought the build up and writing for the entire story was kind of poor, but the acting was pretty solid for me. I enjoyed the performances of the main couple, even if the supporting characters were a little over the top. I didn't love the creatures and didn't really understand what they could actually do and it seems like they just kind of made things up along the way. I thought the twist of using the bug's venom against the dad was an interesting twist.
Overall, I thought it was okay but definitely could have used someone to come clean it up a little bit. A lot of the plot points were pretty weak but overall, I had a fun enough time that I can't be too mad. I probably won't ever watch it again. |

UHHH. I don't think I was a fan?
I like the idea of the movie and a lot of the concepts were cool. And I thought it was super visually appealing. But the writing wasn't there for me and a lot of the characters seemed to be playing up to make the twists more shocking than really play the right emotion they should have been feeling in the moment. I think I might have to go back and watch some of these scenes knowing what I know now and see if they still fit as seamlessly as they felt while watching it the first time.
I don't know. I felt like a lot of concepts were brought in when they really didn't need to be. And I really don't know how I feel about the girl forgiving the other one for chopping her whole hand off. Like, yeah, she opened her eyes but I feel like there were better ways to make that happen. Dunno. Can't say I loved the whole thing, but I loved the first part of the movie and then after that it lost me a bit. |

This was an interesting one that I think ended up falling a little too flat to call an enjoyable experience. I really appreciated that they wanted to take the haunted house concept and put a twist on it with the "solving what happened" trope, but it ended up just being a little too generic to really pull it off. I thought that a handful of the acting was alright, but I never got to see any of the emotional depth or growth in the characters through the rough writing happening.
I wish they would have taken it a step further and brought it some new scares or moments that would make this a more exciting possession movie, but I watched this movie yesterday and I've already forgotten almost all of it. Which is never a good sign. Wanted new scares, only got low budget Grave Encounters. |

Note: This is the 2017 Canadian version. Also I replaced this with something else on my list because I wanted to watch it.
I kind of loved this movie in an ironic way? Yes, it is a classic teenager slasher set-up and it was awfully written. But sometimes just how cookie cutter the story was going with the stakes SO high for no real reason was almost comedic in a way? I don't know if it was intended to be like that but I loved it. And the main girl (The one that kind of looks like Jojo) did a phenomenal job, which was a huge surprise because I never expect to really enjoy someone's performance but I think she was written well and did great with the role.
Kind of saved it! There were a few low points in the movie for me from a story standpoint but I think the raised stakes accounted for a lot of stupid mistakes that the main characters made. I also loved that the spirit in this movie had no real motivation and they didn't really have a good way to describe what it actually was. |

I just got back from watching this and I am so very pleasantly surprised. It's not going to set the world on fire or anything, but it was a really fun movie for what it was. And believe it or not, after about thirty minutes spent with the new Chucky I kind of forgot about how fucking ugly he is. A majority of the comedic bits hit hard for me ("This is for Tupac", basically everything involving the present) and honestly, as soon as it showed the kids watching and laughing at Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 while Chucky watches them and gets the idea that violence makes them happy I knew I was all in with it. Big fan of the decision to very slowly ease into the Chucky voice, having it corrupt the standard voice.
I marked out a little for the stupid teddy bear version of Chucky in the big showdown scene too.

| I was so sad when he didn't do the "This is for Tupac" line for that one kid and I almost lost my mind when he brought it back later. It was so good. |

That blood splatter scene really got me good. And the drone with the razor blades was so over the top, I yelped. I loved how they never took anything too seriously. When the kid came back to Chucky manhandling the cat, I really lost it.
I AGREE! I think it was one of the most fun scary movies I've seen in a minute. Comparing it to slither is p good. I loved how modern they made it. The "I had a really productive sweet 16" line was another good one.
I've just been quoting it to my roommate since we saw it. "You Hobbit motherfucker!"
was too good to pass up. Also had no idea that Mark Hamill was the voice of Chucky until the credits rolled and I loved it. |

I was! I loved it! It's the reason why I kept the extra anime genre on my list.
And yeah, someone I know was telling me about him. (I forgot who tho tbh). They were telling me I should look into the Uzumaki manga or somethin?? I haven't gotten around to it tho. | | |

I loved about 65% of this movie and the ending lost me just a TAD BIT. I feel like I would have really enjoyed this if the two stories were separate? I'm not sure. The latter half of the movie almost felt like a sequel to the beginning? In a way? I'm not sure. It wasn't as strong as the beginning for me.
But the first part of this movie was a really fun time for me. I loved the concept and I felt like the slow burn of Clara figuring out what was going on with Ana was really well done. I really wish I'd gone into this movie without knowing it is a werewolf film because I feel like that would have been a REAL GOOD SHOCK. But it was still a fun surprise and that scene where she gives birth to the little werewolf dude was one of my favorites. The end was still pretty fun, I just could feel my interest fading a bit. But I think it's because I'd gotten so much time to really enjoy Ana & Clara, Ana's son kind of felt shoved in my face that I was supposed to like him. When he was kind of a brat. |

I'd switch my horror comedy over to rabbit it together!
Sounds more enjoyable to watch a horror comedy than extreme gore or body horror. | | |

A little switcheroo because The Garden of Sinners was actually an entire series! OOPS!

I think this may be my first 10 movie? I was honestly really surprised and EXCITED the whole time I was watching this one. They introduced a ton of fun concepts for monsters in this movie and going in with the expectation of just a simple vampire hunter movie probably helped that. I thought this movie's premise was extremely fun and had a great balance between action and good character development. And they were never short on shock value.
And the animation of this movie was absolutely phenomenal. It felt like every frame had SO much detail in it, I'd be interested in seeing how long this movie actually took to create. Because it was breath-taking at parts. I'm still kind of astounded by it. The gothic style and drama that the animation brought to the table was BRILLIANT.
I just had a really good time watching this movie and I'd probably watch it again if I could. I teetered between a 9 and a 10 but I realized that if I had to look to see if there was a sequel almost immediately after it was over, it deserved its 10. THE ANIME CATEGORY BRINGS IT YET AGAIN! |
