Wow The Dark and The Wicked was rough

 

^^^^

Feel like I need to watch something uplifting and colorful now lol

 

Love that Saint Maud score and final shot.

 

Genuinely SHOCKED at how good Freaky was. Funny, gory, smart, and pays homage to a number of classics. A few small problems with it, but overall, it was a blast.

And on a completely different note, Possum was fuuuucked. But very good.

 

Wrong Turn 2021 was pretty much Appalachian Midsommar lol. It starts to unravel a bit around the halfway point, but definitely solid and interesting in unexpected ways.

 

Been interested in this one for a while now glad it's coming to shudder next month

 

Yeah, that final shot in Saint Maud was something else.

 

Sator is a really well shot, slow burn if that's your thing.

 

Could not get behind the new Wrong Turn really at all unfortunately. Agree with whoever said it should've been given a different title altogether. Sequence at the very end was really cool however.

 

I need to watch it before Dead Meat posts their kill count this week lol

 

Me & my daughter tackled Freaky on our latest podcast

‎Mad-Dad Movie Review: Freaky (2020) on Apple Podcasts

Freaky (2020)

 

Wrong Turn (2021) was decent. Some nice cinematography in there. Good amount of gore. Definitely agree with the comment Aaron made about it, haha.

 

Silent Night, Deadly Night is getting a reboot for some reason.

 

Mercifully finished my Saw franchise run and even I am shocked by my ranking lmao:

Saw II
Saw IV
Saw VI
Jigsaw
Saw
Saw: The Final Chapter
Saw V
Saw III

Saw II might be the only truly decent movie out of the bunch, but I enjoy IV. Losing the oversaturated look for Jigsaw in addition to the competent direction did it a lot of favors, even if the twist doesn't make any sense and you don't care about the characters. Saw itself has a nostalgic charm, but the acting and editing is tough to get through. The Final Chapter is by far the dumbest in the series, which is really saying something, but so much so that it's relatively enjoyable. Saw III was too brutal for me, and the irony of complaining about a Saw movie being too brutal is not beyond me.

 

I pour one out for the time spent.

 

Never again lmao. Scratched the itch I had for 100 years.

 

I have been rewatching too and I will join your ranking after I watch jigsaw

Saw 3D was a lot better than I remember it being, I thought for sure that one was the worst but it's far from it. Quite entertaining and the effects are very nasty. Still really dumb

 

Yep. Taking my newfound distate for Saw III out of the equation, I think the worst would have to be Saw V. Even that film had a somewhat interesting angle, but it's dumb (no surprise there) and pretty easily the least memorable in my eyes.

 

Why the saw 3 distaste? I found the audacity of the 20 minute long plot twist montage at the end quite hilarious

 

Same reason I loved it when I was like 13 - it's easily the grossest and most brutal. Just don't have the stomach for it anymore. Again, ironic when you're talking about Saw.

 

Saw III is 100% the grossest. T

 

Saw 3 repeated what worked so well in saw 2, the trap-game storyline integrated with the jigsaw-game-test storyline. Unfortunately both the A and B plots of saw 3 are awful, nonsensical, and boring. The crime/mystery elements of the previous movies are gone and replaced with cringe-ass attempts at dramatic character dialogue and any thriller or horror moments just do nothing for me, at all. Exhibit A on when the Saw franchise would have benefited from a 2 or 3 year development between sequels

 

I love in saw 3 they have the lady with a guy who asks for a divorce just so they can trick you

I also never thought of 3 as the grossest, is it the brain surgery ? That is pretty tough

 

I've only seen the first three Saw movies but it was so long ago that I can't rememeber anything except that there was one actress who showed up in Smallville and Supernatural.

 

Nah, it's the rack and the pig traps for me.
