An inconsistent tone holding it back, this German anthology film feels much weaker than it should. Certainly some fun can be found within, but it's not my go-to insofar as silent horror films are concerned.

What do you think of this classic German film?

Flawed in many ways, this prequel to Cube shows us a new perspective, and brings to light some interesting, albeit it entirely unanswered, questions about the society these characters live in. Aside from Michael Riley's Jax, everyone does reasonably okay, but this movie is certainly missing something the first one had. At the very least, it's marginally better than Hypercube.

What did you think about this prequel?

Originally Schatten - Eine nächtliche Halluzination, this German flick is very moody and atmospheric, but the fact that it attempts to tell it's story without the use of intertitles does cause the film to drag a bit. Story, score, most of the actors, all of that is fun, but given the film does drag, I find it a bit below average.

Have you seen this silent German film?

Plus, yours would have the additional charm of being Australian. 

Very solid rewatch. As Chucky said, third best in the franchise following the first two.

Far too slapstick for me to enjoy, The Stripper Ripper has heart, and you could tell that the cast had a blast making it, but from scenes that just dragged on too long and an utter lack of consistent laughs to be had, this just felt moderately torturous.

What did you think about this amateur film?

Part-documentary, part-dramatized sequences, Haxan is a movie that is like to stick with you for some time. While portions occasionally feel as though they're dragging, Haxan is certainly a film to seek out, especially if you want to experience something a little different.

Have you seen this Swedish picture?

For Cult, you'd be best off watching the dvd/bluray. If you watch on Netflix, you won't get all the gore or the post-credits ending.

I ran into this article earlier today (http://bloody-disgusting.com/home-video/3462476/version-cult-chucky-netflix-not-unrated/).

So yeah, I'll skip the NetFlix version and instead find it online on some streaming site. Thanks for the heads-up.

Well, I'm a bit behind in my reviews but I'll have my Cult review up in a matter of hours.

I'm hoping to watch and review both Curse of and Cult of Chucky by the end of the day myself.

We can argue which is better, but as to which one is more enjoyable? I'll take a shitty Leprechaun movie over Seed anytime. 

That said, I've not rewatched either Leprechaun in the Hood or Back 2 tha Hood in any recent times, so perhaps that will change when I get to them. I will say, though, with all due respect, I highly doubt it. 

Even though my review was harsh, at least we both agree this is the weakest of the franchise (unless Cult is somehow worse).

I posted a review for this.

I found this an utter abomination. Bride of Chucky was not that enjoyable with my last rewatch, but it blows this out of the water.

What a kick in the face to an otherwise okay horror series. God, what a fucking mess.

I thought that I may not like the movie, but I never guessed it would be as bad as it was. I'm not quite in shock, but I am very disappointed.

Hopefully a rewatch of Curse of Chucky will take this horrible taste out of my mouth.

Oh, I didn't even consider that as a plot twist. That's how weak it was.

This Indonesian flick, when all is said and done, comes out around average. Many of the death scenes are a bit dated (even for 2006), but there's still a certain appeal to them. Some elements of the movie didn't really do much for me, also.  If you want a taste of foreign horror, though, you could do worse than this.

Have you seen this Indonesian horror movie?

Pet took an interesting turn about thirty minutes into the movie, which you could sort of tell was coming, but it still worked out well. The problem is, past that point, the movie really just goes down a very predictable path. Still an okay movie, and I feel it's around average, but others would probably like it more.

What did you think of Pet?

What was the twist at the ending? Everything seemed sorta clear-cut to me.

And I think we both got the same gist that it's a very bland, vanilla movie (good description, that I wish I had thought of  ).

Shame, because if any decade of horror past 1930 really needs some more great movies, it's the 1990's.
