Please recommend me some for the season. I'm currently fresh out ideas, sans Sinister which I'll be seeing this week.

Incredible period detail and no BS acting throughout

Watched the 80's version of the Blob on Halloween Night, hadn't seen that in years.

Couple days late, but still interesting.

I haven't seen Gerald's Game, but the book was pretty weak, imo.

I think this may be the worst era ever for horror movies. Outside of horror comedies, I can't think of a truly great horror flick from the last ten years.

This is pretty nice:

I think the horror genre is a microcosm for movies over all the past decade or so. Tons of garbage being put out there. I certainly agree that horror along with comedy, have been the two hardest hit in terms of drop of quality.

I think the action genre has taken a hit, too. CGI has replaced most great stunt work.

I always use the car jump scene from The Man with the Golden Gun as my example of stunt work vs CGI:

Granted, it's a stupid scene, but the stunt itself is extremely impressive. Someone had to risk life and limb to do that scene. The audience knows this. These days, you see a car do a flip and the most you can say is "that looked fairly realistic." It's the difference between doing something impressive, and someone drawing a picture of something impressive. And sometimes those pictures look fake as hell.

Another gutsy stunt scene:

And I don't think modern action stars look as believably tough as actors from previous generations. Bronson, Eastwood, Schwarzenegger vs who? Tom Cruise? Jason Statham? Mark Wahlberg?

No comparison.

For a horror comedy it looks promising!

I'm a little behind on this show. I love the ridiculousness of the Evil Dead franchise. It's just great.
