Just maybe. :P In my defense, there were a lot of moving pieces, so I'm happy it's just one thing I forgot. 

I have to admit that I expected more from this proto-slasher. While Peeping Tom wasn't without potential, I felt that it dragged far more than anything else, and though I wish I could have enjoyed this classic more, especially after literal years of wanting to see it, it's overall not all that, as the kids say.

Have you ever been a Peeping Tom?

Some of this may well be nostalgia speaking, but I think that House, behind it's comedic coat of paint, contains plenty of interesting character-driven ideas, such as the main character's battle with his memories of Vietnam. Definitely not perfect, House does get a bit goofy at times, but generally I find the film pretty solid.

What are your thoughts on House, and would you pay the rent?

No doubt a movie of the lowest of budgets, Tim Ritter's Killing Spree still comes across as a pretty fun film with plenty of ridiculous pieces of dialogue and enjoyable sequences. It can get a bit random toward the end, and the movie ultimately may not be great, but it still provides a moderately fun time.

Anyone out there fans of Killing Spree?

I've found this a highly entertaining film ever since I was a kid, and while I don't think it's perfect, I think Tremors has a lot going for it, and is definitely worth a watch ever if you're the most mild of horror fans.

How do you feel about the first entry of this series?

It's my contention that Part 3 of this series is the weakest of the first five movies, and while it still ends up an above average film (if for no other reason, personal nostalgia), I found the lack of memorable characters and somewhat cheap-feeling finale (not to mention odd addition of Jason not killing people just because they black-out) all to it's detriment.

What are your thoughts on this 3-D masterpiece bois?

Gutterballs may not be the easiest movie to like, what with the constant childish dialogue and somewhat plot-free feel, but I found the gore to be decent, the rape-revenge aspect done reasonably well, and let's be honest, it actually makes bowling look fun.

What are your thoughts on bowling, and how does that impact your view on Gutterballs?

Naked Fear is a competently-made film, but it's not a particularly enjoyable one, and while it's far from a bad movie, it's not one that I think I'd ever recommend for any reason. But hey, there's nudity.

What are your thoughts on this film?

So I saw Battle Royale at a young age, related tremendously to the movie, and as such, consider it perfect. An easy 10/10, no question in my mind.

What are your thoughts on this Asian fright fest?

Dark Haul (2014)

Also know under the title of Monster Truck, this sucked. Like, a lot. I mean, it was awful. A fantasy-horror mix, it wasn't a good time.

Chucky's completely right, but that said, don't let his negative viewpoints scare you away - a lot has happened in the genre since you've been here, so I'm sort of curious what some of your favorite films are from the last five to ten years have been.

 

Great to see you back.

I've not yet gotten COVID, despite working in retail (in a state where half the people don't like wearing masks because "freedom"), so all on that front is good so far. Doing moderately well, but hoping to improve over this next year.

Hope that all's been going well with you too.

You're not wrong on 2020 - what a hellish year it's been.

Hope that you had a decent holiday regardless, and happy to see you pop in now and again.

That's me, asking the important inquiries. 

The main problem with Jack Frost 2 is that it went a far more comedic direction than the first film, and came across as pathetically idiotic, making it a harder film to enjoy. There were some okay kills, and the performances were mostly passable, but the story here was just laughably bad.

Have you witnessed this atrocity, or do you live a life worth living?
