jackson robert scott flipping from sweet kid to little menace is genuinely nasty, the hungarian humming lives in my head rent free

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers

Dewey MarksResident

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

Let Us Prey

Dewey MarksResident

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

The Strangers: Prey at Night

Dewey MarksResident

ok everyone dragged this thing into the ground and i genuinely don't get it. the pool scene set to total eclipse of the heart with the neon palm lights going is one of the dumbest most beautiful things i've seen in a slasher and i mean that as the highest compliment. yeah the family makes some choices i'd never make (i would simply not split up in a deserted trailer park) but bailee madison is actually going for it here and the whole thing looks like someone watched a lot of carpenter and wanted to play. it's not the crawly dread of the first one and i'm fine with that, i wanted an 80s throwback and i got neon and air supply and masks. 86 minutes of exactly what i came for, put it on my corkboard next to the underrated pile

stallone quietly sobering up in a snowbound rehab while people get picked off is a genre nobody asked for and i respect it

The Exorcist III

Dewey MarksResident

ok so the hallway thing genuinely made my whole body clench up like i was bracing for a car crash, and then the rest of the movie is two old men whispering about horrible stuff in dark rooms and i cannot lie i kept checking how much was left. brad dourif doing those monologues is the best thing i've seen all month, george c scott looks like he wants to fistfight god the entire runtime, and when they're in a room together it rules... but then the last stretch kicks in and it feels like a completely different, dumber movie barged in and started yelling. i wanted to love this the way everyone on here loves it and instead i just love like four minutes of it very very much. worth it for the nurse alone though, i'll defend that to my grave
