“grew up thinking wolverine invented the healing factor and this beat him to it by drawing every punch like it hurt”

“the sharks show up to a still-flaming plane wreck and just start chomping, renny harlin knows exactly what movie he's making”

“went in expecting a snakes on a plane situation and got genuinely rattled instead, which. rude. the whole thing feels like nightmare at 20,000 feet stretched out over a full flight and the fact they pulled this off on basically no money makes me insane, like the creature stuff should look cheap and it just doesn't. tom brittney is doing real work here selling the horror when everyone around him is losing it. it starts sagging when it stops trusting the mystery and wants to explain everything to you, and the last stretch loses me a little, but that claustrophobic build had my knees pulled up to my chest like a coward. that 80s/90s soundtrack itch it scratches is worth the ticket alone honestly.”

on Friday the 13th Part III

“the yo-yo. the popcorn. the joint being poked toward my face from the back of a van. this movie is CONSTANTLY handing me objects i did not ask for and i respect it so much. everyone loves to dunk on part III but this is the one where the mask shows up and honestly that alone earns it a spot near the top for me. yeah the acting is rough and the disco theme makes no sense but i had a genuinely stupid grin the whole time. the head crush is worth the price of admission alone and i say that as someone who watched it flat with no 3d glasses like a peasant”

“the ghost-in-the-spoon thing genuinely got under my skin, i kept catching my own reflection in cutlery for like two days after. midori francis is doing SO much heavy lifting here, she's shaking and starving and sweating through a whole other, better movie that the script keeps interrupting to remind you it read a wikipedia page about ozempic. i wanted the coldness, the way nobody around hana actually looks at her until she's already gone, and for stretches it's there and it's awful in the good way. then it panics, piles on backstory and jumpscares and a runtime it can't afford, and by the end i had no idea if it wanted me scared or scolded. skin crawled, brain checked out. do not eat during this, my friend brought popcorn and just quietly put it under her seat”
