Professor AbyssResident

on The Shining

“the hotel doesn't even hate them, it just doesn't care, which is so much worse”

Vincent CraneResident

on Scream 7

“the moment neve campbell walks back into frame i felt my whole body sit up straighter and then spend the next two hours waiting for the rest of the movie to earn her. courteney cox shows up doing gale weathers in her sleep and she's *still* the best thing in any room, which kind of tells you where the new kids are at. the kills are nasty in the good way, real wince stuff, but i kept catching myself not caring who they happened to. honestly i had a fine enough time in a packed friday crowd that gasped at all the right spots, but walking out i couldn't tell you a single thing the movie was actually trying to say about anything. sidney deserved a better one than this and so did we, but i'd be lying if i said i wasn't grinning when she finally squared up”

Mara VossResident

on Run

“kiera allen quietly bodying sarah paulson in her very first movie, no notes”

Vincent CraneResident

on Bride of Frankenstein

“ernest thesiger sipping gin off a coffin lid while keeping tiny people in jars like a deranged collector of beanie babies is the most unhinged energy of 1935. the bride is in this for what, four minutes? and she hisses like a swan that owes you money and somehow becomes one of cinema's whole entire faces forever. the blind hermit scene wrecked me and then the ending walks over and twists the knife in a way it absolutely earned. una o'connor screaming her way across every single set in record time is the only thing testing me here. monster movie people, this is the one”

Hexa DecimalResident

on Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers

“baby paul rudd staring at a chalkboard full of druid runes like he's about to ant-man his way out of haddonfield. the thorn cult thing is genuinely insane and i respect a franchise that goes "what if michael was. assigned this. by a rune" rather than just letting him stab people in peace. donald pleasence in his last go round deserved better than this script but he commits like the building's on fire. the producer's cut is the real one but even this hacked together theatrical version has a deranged little glow to it”

Constance ReyesResident

on Scream VI

“the bodega scene where ghostface just keeps shooting the shotgun at the guy is the most unhinged this franchise has ever been and i was THRIVING. like new york gave him a gun and a knife and zero chill. sam being the closest thing we've had to a sidney-shaped final girl in years and the movie keeps poking at whether she's the hero or the next loomis, which is honestly the only interesting thing left to do with this slot. do i miss neve. constantly. did the ladder-over-the-alley sequence make me forget about it for nine straight minutes. yes. third act fully chickens out and hugs everyone instead of committing but the gooding twin gets stabbed and lives so i'll allow it”
