He's Out There (2018)

[Chucky]

It's nice to see slasher movies making a comeback. This is an okay movie to waste some time with but it's not good enough to demand repeat viewings. The acting is good, the killer is okay but there was too much focus on the children being scared and its relentless use of ominous background music had me feeling like this movie lacked a creative touch.

What have you got to say about this modern slasher flick?

[Jigsaw]

Have to admit, this one fell under my radar, but it doesn't look like I'm missing much.

As much as new directors try to harken back to the golden age of slashers, I don't think most will ever be able to capture the feel of those classic 80's slashers (one recent film that came close was Most Likely to Die from 2015).
