I guess I'm kinda cheating on this list now that it's 2022 but I've seen some pretty good ones in the past 3 years. Not including the Halloween requels or the new Scream.. or the new Candyman.. or the new Texas Chainsaw (which I thought was awful anyway) lol.

- Midsommar
- Psycho Goreman
- Us
- The Invisible Man
- The Dead Don't Die (not great but worth a watch)

Still haven't seen St. Maude, X, or Malignant but I intend to.

Honorable mentions for stuff a lil older:

- The Wailing (amazing movie, highly recommend)
- The Void
- Raw (really good and pretty overlooked)
- Climax (not sure if most would consider this conventional horror but it was definitely horrifying)
- Train to Busan
- Hereditary
- Get Out

I hated the Suspiria remake.

Drag Me to Hell (2009) - I love this stupid fucking movie. It's so goddamn hilarious!

Possession (1981) - I heard a lot of good things about this one and it didn't disappoint. It was very over the top but it's also very surreal and psychedelic. I can't really compare it to anything but I highly recommend for anyone who hasn't watched yet!

I thought this was a bit overrated. I'm a huge fan of the character, and Phoenix was pretty damn great as the Joker but my issues don't stem from the acting performances.

I feel a Joker origin story done in THIS way is pointless. Bruce will grow up to be Batman, and when he does, Joker will be like 60-65 years old. The best incarnations of the Joker are when he can both torture Batman mentally and scrap with him physically. This Joker, even at this age, is relatively weak, and while I get he caused a riot, I see this as the character's ceiling. The only way they could salvage this for -me- is if they go the route of this origin story being a complete lie told by the Joker. The same way Ledger Joker kept lying about his scars, and the same way Joker has said in The Killing Joke, "if I' going to have a past, I prefer it be multiple choice!" but I don't see them thinking that far ahead since they have already casted a Joker for Robert Pattinson's Batman to square up with.

TL;DR, by the time Batman is old enough to be Batman, Joker will be too old to fight him, therefore it feels pointless to me. Before anyone brings up Nicholson's Joker, I had the same issue with his Joker. There were at least a handful of actors from back then I would've preferred were given a chance over Jack.

Joker 2019 feels like an incel remade The King of Comedy wearing some Joker-colored lenses. There was solid acting, beautiful shots, and a handful of memorable scenes but because I don't foresee a good payoff to the story, and because it doesn't feel all that original, I give it uhhhh

Hey, guys! It's been like 9 years since I was last here, forgot my password. Randomly thought about FE after browsing r/horror for a few days and started to miss some of y'all. Most people I knew are T really here anymore but maybe in time idk. By the way, I used to go by Seed here.

It sucks ass that that all happened to you Chuck, I'm just glad it wasn't anything serious and you're shredding off some kg's while taking a step back. Stress is a fucking asshole.

Me? I've been working from home since the pandemic also. Really awesome job but a shady ass company. My whole campaign got let go a few days ago. They informed us ahead of time but I haven't been able to secure another job yet. I live alone and have a brand new car payment so I gotta make it rain somehow and fast. Got my wisdom teeth pulled today, shoulda done that a long time ago but better late than never!

Damn I think I joined this site when I was 14, I'm 31 now. That was over half my life ago. I'm almost as old as De was when I first joined. 😂
