Where Horror Fans
Keep Score

“eli roth sat on this idea for twenty years to give us Weapons told backwards by someone who hates you”

“okay so this is not a great movie and i will defend it anyway. danielle harris is doing more acting at seven years old than half the adults in slasher history, that nightmare scene where she wakes up messed me up as a kid and it still kinda does. the rest of it though... they run the sped up theme into the ground and the redneck vigilante guys show up like they wandered in from a different and worse film. pleasence is fully committed to being the most exhausted man in illinois and bless him for it. i know it lives in the shadow of the first two but the last stretch earns the whole thing, and if you grew up on 80s halloween nights this just hits something. mid as a film, higher than mid in my heart”

“liam cunningham just strolling into a crumbling scottish cop shop like he owns the place and immediately knowing every awful thing everyone's ever done... i was SO in. assault on precinct 13 for people who grew up on the old testament basically. the synth score alone had me grinning like an idiot, it's doing that full carpenter thing where you're nervous before anything even happens. and pollyanna mcintosh is lowkey one of the better final girl types i've seen in years, she's not screaming helplessly she's actually a cop doing cop things which rules. yeah it talks a lot before it gets loud but i never once wanted it to stop, 92 minutes of a bad night getting steadily worse and i'd watch it again tonight”

“it follows but the thing chasing you is shame and also frank ocean shows up at the end to emotionally destroy you”

“a shark in a flooded cave got my chest tighter than it had any right to, and kathryn newton could outlast us all”
