Admittedly, I've not yet seen Possession, but the fact Sam Neill is in it has long been a point of interest for me.
Just finished In the Spider's Web (2007). All-in-all, this was decent. Still below average, but it had a few good characters, an okay story at times, and rather realistic spiders 95% of the time. Not a movie for those afflicted with arachnophobia, but overall, wasn't a bad rewatch. 6/10. #33

Invitation to Hell (1982)
Not to be confused with the 1984 Wes Craven film of the same name, this 41 minute short was directed by Michael J. Murphy. It's rather low budget, and the quality is pretty poor. Performances weren't that great, but there was at least a solid kill, being a crucifixion of sorts. I'd really only recommend it to fans of low budget British Satanic horror, though. 4/10. Blue Demon y Zovek en La invasión de los muertos (1973) Known in the USA as The Invasion of the Dead, this Mexican zombie movie was slow. Admittedly, I have seen this before, but not with subtitles, so it was nice to understand more of it. Even so, not great. 4.5/10. #34

Watched Hansel & Gretel Get Baked (2013)
Not as heavy on ridiculous comedy as you might think, which was a positive. Even so, it's not a particularly memorable film, aside from the mildly interesting plot. Below average, but not terribly so. 6.5/10. (Full review available in a year and a half or on demand. :P) #35

There's only a couple of TV shows I watch at the moment, mostly Better Call Saul, which is on it's final season.
Fantastic show, and personally, I think when it ends, I'll enjoy it more than Breaking Bad (the show this spun-off of). Quality mid-season finale episode. #36

I know how you feel. When I first joined, I was an idiot kid who spent half his time in the trashcan, or whatever that section was called. It's amazing just how many memories I have of this forum and the people here (which is one of the reasons I try to stick around and do what I can).
Glad to see you pop in though, Seed (if you don't terribly mind me using your old screen-name). It is nice to hear that others do occasionally think back on FE - gives me a nostalgic feeling. Hope that you're able to find a job and/or money lying on the ground. Life has been somewhat trying for me recently also - my mother will likely be dead in the next month-and-a-half, and I just left my job - so I certainly hope that things pick up for you. #37

Sounds wild. At least if you need it, you have healthcare available, so at least there's that.

Honestly, I'm just happy you're alive, Shadow. My life is void of pretty much everything, giving me more time to devote here, but I certainly understand how a much busier life would make it a lot more difficult to check in every day.
Maybe once things stabilize down the line, and these updates come on through, thinks will improve. Hope you're doing well, Shadow. ![]() #39

Yeah, I wasn't blown away by Halloween Kills. I thought the kills were pretty solid down the line, but some of the story elements just bothered the hell out of me. Gave it an average rating myself.

To round up what I've seen in the last couple of weeks:
Wolf Country (2005) - 9/11/2021 [Rewatch] Low-budget Scottish werewolf movie. Highlights are okay special effects and Peter Capaldi in a couple of sequences. Below average. Amsterdamned (1988) - 9/13/2021 [Rewatch] Very solid Dutch slasher. Beautiful setting in Amsterdam, and solid sequences throughout. Maybe runs a little long, but still quite worth it. Goblin (2010) - 9/15/2021 [Rewatch] Okay Syfy movie. Decent story and performances, but not among the best of Syfy films from the last ten years. Wicked Little Things (2006) - 9/15/2021 [Rewatch] This is a movie I recall liking more than I apparently do now. Pretty decent idea, but the story has some plot issues, and the film just isn't as good as I remember it being. You're Not Getting Out Alive (2011) - 9/16/2021 [Rewatch] Ultra-low budget slasher from Colorado. Very low-budget, but I enjoyed it quite a bit, and possessed some legit amusing portions (which makes sense, as it's a comedy-horror). No idea if this is even officially released, but I still quite like it. Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) - 9/16/2021 [Rewatch] Perhaps the second best Halloween movie (after the first), this is an almost perfect movie, and I've loved it since I was a kid. A lot of great scenes, and this just has a lot going for it. Malignant (2021) - 9/18/2021 [New watch] Surprisingly decent. There are a few plot issues, but there is a lot of style to this movie, and though it's not perfect, it does have some very solid action sequences. Idle Hands (1999) - 9/19/2021 [Repeat Rewatch] It's almost an average movie, but it's just too goofy at times. Seen this multiple times, and some scenes still stick with me ever since I was a kid, but it's just too silly at times to really get into. Weaverfish (2013) - 9/21/2021 [Rewatch] A nice British Cabin Fever-esque movie. Feels a little too somber at times, and possesses quite a lengthy set-up (almost an hour before the horror really hits hard), but I do quite love the story and the finale, which packs a strong emotional punch. #41
Other Movies / Re: What's the Last Non-Horror Movie You Watched?September 28, 2021, 05:22:48 PM
Greenland (2020)
Saw the trailer a couple of times, and looked interested. The movie was okay - a bit more drama-heavy then end-of-the-world-action heavy - and Morena Baccarin (Leslie from Gotham) and Gerard Butler were perfectly adequate. It just doesn't hold a candle to better films in the same vein, such as The Day After Tomorrow. Probably rate this one around average, maybe a little below. Not a terrible movie, but not necessarily worth two hours of time. #42
Television / Re: Last TV Show You WatchedSeptember 25, 2021, 08:05:25 AM
It's funny you mention that, because I saw that advertised on NetFlix, and was considering giving it a watch.
I've been getting back into Gotham. A very up-and-down show, I just have a season and a half to finish, so wondering what wild things will pop up with limited time left. #43
Horror Talk / Re: What's the Last Horror Movie You Watched?September 24, 2021, 10:57:36 PM
I've still not seen 3 from Hell (I should probably check it out sometime soon, though), but I hope it goes reasonably well.

Though we did like it more than you, so try not to be too disappointed in us.

The Messengers (2007)
Has a few okay moments, but strikes me as overall very lukewarm and forgettable. Which is probably why, though I've seen it before, it pretty much felt like a new watch. ![]() |
