Totally get it with Twin Peaks. My friend passed away while I was watching Haunting of Hill House and the whole death/funeral aspect of it was really hard for me to get through and reminded me of him constantly.
Just about every American student, at least back in the 70's, read Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" in middle or high school. It is pretty intense, so it was an interesting choice in an educational environment.
I went to high school in the middle 2010s and we read it then, too. I never remembered that the story was by Shirley Jackson until Hill House came out in 2018. I still loved it in 2013 or whatever year, but now I love it even more having learned more about Shirley Jackson!
I watched it yesterday. I was expecting some kind of gang fighting type of movie so the plot came as a bit of a surprise. I didn’t really enjoy it much, though it was well acted. It just felt like watching typical bikie behaviour.
Once were warriors is an underrated genius movie!!I dont like 'real' violence but this movie handled it so well. . I was hoping to get the tshirt but shipping to the UK is actually more then the shirt itself . So gutted. These videos are keeping me going in lockdown,Thanks Emma!!
sue inns This film is brutal, it ripped my heart out. It’s quite a few years since I have seen it but it is seared into my brain. The acting is so natural it was like watching real life. A horrific film in the true sense. Recommended (be prepared to shed a tear. Or many tears in my case)
Love Primer. That film could have used a teeny bit more budget, but it illustrates just how confusing time travel would be better than any other film I've ever seen. Hard Candy is an odd one...I enjoy it, but at the same time, it's like high-class exploitation, and occasionally you have to wonder, "How did she pull THAT off?" Twin Peaks season 3 may well be one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen. Definitely not for everyone, even fans of the first two seasons, but it reaffirmed my confidence that no, not everything has been done already. Nearly every video I made last year was an explainer video for that show...there's just so much going on in it.
Glad you did the monthly review again. I always find it interesting to see what other people have been watching. Perhaps very early, but I would already ask not to skip 31 days of horror and 12 days of Christmas :-)
If you like 'I don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore' and have experienced David Yow as the Villain, it is my duty to introduce you to his early 90's band 'The Jesus Lizard'. He is the American Bon Scott of Post Rock Punk.
It's cool Emma we all have our decompression, guilty pleasure etc...moments. One of mine is stand up comedy amongst other things. Appreciate these vids for lots of watching ideas.🤟👏
I LOVED “Shirley” - I went in blind and watched the trailer afterwards and I agree, it doesn’t match the overall feel of the movie and I’m glad I didn’t watch it beforehand. The film itself is so visually beautiful and the acting was amazing! Elisabeth Moss is 👑👑👑 Hahaha, and as a horror fan it’s so important to watch happy/guilty pleasure films to take a break from all the heavy stuff 😅 Bee Movie kicks ass. Thanks for all the suggestions per usual! 👏🏻 you’re awesome!
Hey Emma, have you consider checking out animation maybe not horror but have a good story around it? Kinda said it weird here, But Made in Abyss is on Amazon Prime with amazing world building about kids doing down an enormous crater deep with 7 layers to find one of their mother who has disappeared traveling there. Also because I want to see you review on episode 10 and 13.
I love that you love Mr. Bean Emma!!! Bean is such an underappreciated comedy honestly with a really good soundtrack! The man makes you laugh without saying anything 😁
When I was learning about the power of 'point of view' in my film study class, we watched Hard Candy and discussed how uncomfortable it made certain people (mostly guys during the 'castration' scene), despite there being hardly any graphic gore or violence.
omg I just started dark season 3! it’s nuts so far & i’m only one episode in. ALSO I work at a bookstore & I just picked up Head Full of Ghosts the other day so i’m even more excited to read it!!!
I really liked Shirley, actually liked it more than I expected. If you get around to ever reading one of her books, I would recommend Hangsaman, the book she was supposed to be working on during this film. And of course, The Haunting on Hill House is great!
Have you ever seen the movie The Crow? I just watched that for the first time last night, and absolutely loved it. I'd recommend it, if you are interested. Awesome video, as always. Thank you 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
@@spookyastronauts yes, it was, but that was her dealing with her own insecurities, which I believe she acknowledged later. Another main theme this movie had was that it's okay to ask for help from friends and family, something I have a really hard time with as well. Thanks for responding Emma, i'm a big fan.
I have been reading "the making of" books since I was a teenager, and last year the crown jewel arrived: The Making of Alien by JW Rinzler. So amazing how that film came together, and what was supposed to be a cheesy b-movie was elevated to unparalleled art by the most iconic creature design of all time. Once the xenomorph design was "discovered", the look and feel of the entire film changed, and the rest is history. Highly recommend.
Oh and you should also read Paul Tremblay's Disappearance at Devil's Rock; a lot of Lake Mungo vibes. Horror movie books, I would recommend Danse Macabre by Stephen King. I wish he would write a 2nd volume for recent books and movies, but the first one is excellent.
Alexandra's Project was such a surprising film! I watched it after your recommendation and wow! I just listened to the book Dear Child by Romy Hausmann on audible. You have to listen to that one.....gripping is an understatement!
What's funny is last night, I already watched what you watched for June. I kept thinking: "Boi these are kinda old movies." It was from last year. LOL!
Take Shelter is my favorite film you watched this month that I have also watched. Except maybe for Primer which was also really cool even if I have to admit I had trouble following it all the way through. I like Dorothy Mills more than you did - it's one of my favorite movies of that sort. Favorite movie I watched myself this month was Jamie Marks is Dead. Have you ever seen it? I do not hear it referenced often. Longer videos are good. Never let the algorithm RUclips uses bully you into making short videos than you want.
One Were Warriors is one of my favorites. Also, I liked Murder By Numbers but there were some things that were watered-down. It's supposed to be an updated version of the Leopold and Loeb case that happened in the US in the 30s. The crazy thing about it was that the bigger deal over the case was not that they had murdered a little kid, but that they were gay. I get that they didn't want to make them being gay a huge deal in the movie because it's a lot less controversial now, but I still think the characters should have been gay.
I loved 'A Head Full of Ghosts' I Hope the film adaptation does it justice 😊 If you ever do want to listen to a Shirley Jackson book on audible, Haunting of Hill House has a nice performance and is pretty short. Thank you for all the recommendations!
So glad you liked Call Me By Your Name. One of my favs of the last decade for sure. Also, I can confirm Ace Ventura has not aged well AT ALL either lol.
Everyone keeps talking about how great Dark is, I guess I need to finally start it! I just finished the first season of Into The Night on Netflix and really loved it! Not too many people talking about that show, but it did just get renewed for season 2!
You watched a lot like you said I have watched a tone of stuff including four seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and one season of Angel along with What We Do In The Shadows season 2 and many other movies Sisters, Theatre of Blood, Martin, VFW. Yeah everybody's got a lot of time at the moment given her things are.
Added "Chainsaw Confidential" to the queue ❤️ and this reminds me to hit up "Take Shelter", "Attack the Block", and Xavier Dolan's films. And wow "Wicker Park"-- a blast from the past! That one slid past me back in 2004, but your 4 star rating definitely peaked my interest. I'll give it a go fo sho!
the sinner was such a let down ☹️ and i went crazy on season 1! season 2 was entertaining, but season 3 ugh bummer 😴 so sorry about your friend Dave, healing for his family and friends ❤️
Loved the longer vid! I just started Dark. I’ll need to rewatch the first episode though bc I was trying to clean while watching it and the subtitles- not a good idea
I just listened to 'In the tall grass', I've seen the movie when it came out, but the book was way more intense, made me want to watch the movie again tho I didnt really liked it the first time
Waiting to watch the Sinner as want my boyfriend to watch season 1 and 2 first! I had a feeling from the trailer it wasnt going to be as good as the first 2! My new favourite I've watched in lockdown is Raw! I thought it was AMAZING! I watched it a few times! I'd love to get your take on Mothers of Monsters! It's not perfect but thought it was a really interesting found footage film. I've not seen that concept in found footage before so I'm suprised more people havent reviewed it! Love you reviews as always! And your t - shirt 😆 x
I would really like it if you could make a video about nightmares you've got thanks to horror movies. Because I hear a lot of people saying stuff like "This movie gave me nightmares" and now I wonder "What kind of nightmares?"
RIP Dave I’m so sry u had to deal with that during this pandemic. I wish u good luck in the future I love your channel, I love your ambition for horror. You seriously deserve more subscribers. Btw I’m looking for psychological or paranoia based horror or thrillers like the witch I loveeee that movie so much, any suggestions. Sorry for the comment later at night I was just about to do a late night gaming session and came down to get some soda to prepare and stumbled across your videos in my recommended feed (: I’m subscribed btw.
Always love to see your movie recaps of the month. I actually loved "Unknown" with Liam Neeson, but I know it's not a regular favorite. I remember the trailer made you think it was more of a sci-fi/parallel world plot, but it's just a solid Hitchcockian thriller. That kind of "false marketing" can backfire with audiences. Here are my horror/thrillers I saw in June: RATTER (2015, 5/10) - Good premise, but predictable storyline. NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST (1958, 3/10) - Roger Corman film. THE IMPOSTER (2012, 6/10) - Found it boring until the third act twist. ALEXANDRA'S PROJECT (2003, 6/10) - Definitely not a date film. TENTACLES (1977, 6/10) - Italian giant octopus film, clearly inspired by Jaws. THE WITCH FILES (2018, 5/10) - Found footage meets The Craft. THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE (1972, 2/10) - Classic schlock. WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST (1958, 3/10) - More classic schlock. DAY THE WORLD ENDED (1955, 510) - Classic Corman schlock. 5-HEADED SHARK ATTACK (2017, 2/10) - Seen 2-Headed & 3-Headed Shark Attack, so why not? SCREAM, QUEEN! MY NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2019, 6/10) - Documentary about Mark Patton and the gay subtext of A Nightmare On Elm Street, Part 2. THE LODGE (2019, 5/10) - Visually well-made, but predictable plot twists. INVASION OF ASTRO-MONSTER (1965, 9/10) - Godzilla classic, also known as "Monster Zero". ALLIGATOR (1980, 4/10) - Cult classic creature feature, though I've never been a fan of it. THE IGUANA WITH THE TONGUE OF FIRE (1971, 5/10) - Italian giallo, not a monster film, had to see it just for the title. RACE WITH THE DEVIL (1975, 6/10) - Road thriller, definitely recommend to anyone who likes The Hitcher. THE VAST OF NIGHT (2019, 8/10) - Amazing low budget UFO thriller. A bit slow-paced, but can't wait to see what the director does next. WAR OF THE PLANETS (1977, 5/10) - Italian sci-fi film, some genuine cool scenes. DEVIL FISH (1984, 4/10) - Italian horror film directed by Lambarto Bava (Mario's son).
Head Full of Ghosts❤️❤️❤️ I really enjoyed Twelve Nights at Rotter House on audio book. Not sure if it’s on Audible. The ending was kinda meh to me but the rest of the book was great.
I feel you need to stop "justifying" what you watch when it's not the "usual" ... yes you're primarily horror but you are allowed to enjoy other films...and not enjoy other films lol
@@spookyastronauts believe me I get it. I have horror tattoos and horror all over my work desk but as soon as I bring up a movie non horror ppl lose their minds lol I get its different being on a platform though. Just try not to let those comments get to you.....were here for you not just becauae its horror.. as much as I love the horror content haha
If you wanted a tribute to Justin Long you should have used an image of Zerk from The Sasquatch Gang (2006). Different kind of disturbing. LOL 😁😁😁 Please keep reviewing ALL types of movies!!!!!
I thought the first half of "The Good Liar" really worked as a black comedy (Ian Mckellen swearing was very funny) but the ending was weird, predictable from the start but also very unpredictable at the same time. The flashbacks seemed to come from a totally different film.
We Are Marshall is one of my biggest examples of why forced emotions usually doesn’t work in films. While the true story is definitely sad, the film plays out like a bunch of people saying “this is sad, why aren’t you crying? Please cry, please”. This is also my problem with Fault In Our Stars. The story doesn’t play out naturally, so I’m left feeling numb about it. Since Stars is clearer in my memory , scenes like strangers clapping after a kiss in the Anne Frank house or Dafoe’s final scene not making any sense, cause that character should have only been a visual interpretation of what she was going through, instead of the very unbelievable idea that he’d physical be there. Forced emotion in films is frustrating, which is why many Nicolas Sparks films, the biggest offender of this, go off the rails in the third act. One final example of forced emotion is Pay It Forward, a solid film until it’s final minutes.
I honestly cant get enough of you Emma! Absolutely love your videos!! Also if anyone is interested, I just uploaded my video for everything I watched in June ❤️
Totally get it with Twin Peaks. My friend passed away while I was watching Haunting of Hill House and the whole death/funeral aspect of it was really hard for me to get through and reminded me of him constantly.
I’m so sorry :(
I just realized, you don't make as many jumpcuts as other youtubers, which I appreciate. It feels more natural this way. Keep it up!
I hated Tusks and I love that you made a t-shirt of it
Tusk is awesome imo.
Where can I get the tshirt?
i think tusk was really funny. laughed my ass off
@@BlackHolz it's not my type of movie, but I still appreciate que that some people have the balls to create different things like Tusks
Just about every American student, at least back in the 70's, read Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" in middle or high school. It is pretty intense, so it was an interesting choice in an educational environment.

The Machinist. I'm re-watching it right now. That's one spooky diet Bale went on. Makes me want to eat a pie.
Such a good film and I feel the same lol
I just finished Dark. Emma we need your review. Soon. Thanks for sharing all of this.
Once Were Warriors is such a good movie, and you mentioning it was a completely unexpected blast from the past! 🖤
I watched it yesterday. I was expecting some kind of gang fighting type of movie so the plot came as a bit of a surprise. I didn’t really enjoy it much, though it was well acted. It just felt like watching typical bikie behaviour.
Just rented Becky last night and man, that shit got dark, real fast. Loved it.
Hell yeah!
Once were warriors is an underrated genius movie!!I dont like 'real' violence but this movie handled it so well.
. I was hoping to get the tshirt but shipping to the UK is actually more then the shirt itself . So gutted.
These videos are keeping me going in lockdown,Thanks Emma!!
Did you watch the sequel it's called "what becomes of the broken hearted "
sue inns This film is brutal, it ripped my heart out. It’s quite a few years since I have seen it but it is seared into my brain. The acting is so natural it was like watching real life.
A horrific film in the true sense. Recommended (be prepared to shed a tear. Or many tears in my case)

I love that the Justin Long shirt has a walrus on it. Tusk is pretty messed up and underrated
🤘🏼
If you like 'I don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore' and have experienced David Yow as the Villain, it is my duty to introduce you to his early 90's band 'The Jesus Lizard'. He is the American Bon Scott of Post Rock Punk.
Content Aware Phil The Jesus Lizard are one of my favorite bands! Twisted rock n’ roll.
It's cool Emma we all have our decompression, guilty pleasure etc...moments. One of mine is stand up comedy amongst other things. Appreciate these vids for lots of watching ideas.🤟👏
If you want a good horror book, read "Sour Candy." It's very well done. It's just a novella, a hundred pages or so. It would make an excellent movie.
I’m gonna check this out! Thanks it does look good
I second this recommendation!
I LOVED “Shirley” - I went in blind and watched the trailer afterwards and I agree, it doesn’t match the overall feel of the movie and I’m glad I didn’t watch it beforehand.

I've seen Once We Were Warriors, quite a long time ago, it was terrific. I hadn't known anything about those people previous to that.
When I was learning about the power of 'point of view' in my film study class, we watched Hard Candy and discussed how uncomfortable it made certain people (mostly guys during the 'castration' scene), despite there being hardly any graphic gore or violence.

Awesome video, as always. Thank you 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Brittany Runs a Marathon hit me hard. It was great. I think it had a great message: that we can change our lives at any time.
True that! That conversation at the birthday was so awful though
@@spookyastronauts yes, it was, but that was her dealing with her own insecurities, which I believe she acknowledged later.

Lucas is now streaming. Love that movie from the 80's!♥️
There will be a sequel of Attack the Block? WHAT? I'M SO EXCITED!
Apparently!!!
Hey Emma, Missing Link was good fun, Makes a change from horror sometimes and i love Empire Records!
I never saw Tusk and did not understand the shirt at all at first - glad you explained it. Now I know what to watch next :)
Hell yeah!
I would like your opinion about "Sadistic Intentions", a very interesting and gory psychological cat and mouse flick.
i LOVE your longer videos !!
Thanks 😊
Alexandra's Project was such a surprising film! I watched it after your recommendation and wow! I just listened to the book Dear Child by Romy Hausmann on audible. You have to listen to that one.....gripping is an understatement!
That shirt is everything I’ve ever dreamed of
Love these longer videos. ♥️♥️
It's not horror but "Miracle Mile" is such a good little movie.
I made the mistake of watching Miracle Mile at three in the morning, alone. Great movie on one of my recurring nightmares, I'll never watch it again.
What's funny is last night, I already watched what you watched for June. I kept thinking: "Boi these are kinda old movies." It was from last year. LOL!
Take Shelter is my favorite film you watched this month that I have also watched.
Except maybe for Primer which was also really cool even if I have to admit I had trouble following it all the way through.
I like Dorothy Mills more than you did - it's one of my favorite movies of that sort.
Favorite movie I watched myself this month was Jamie Marks is Dead. Have you ever seen it? I do not hear it referenced often.
Longer videos are good. Never let the algorithm RUclips uses bully you into making short videos than you want.
I didn’t no what to think Of take shelter I watched it today
Oh my god the shirt is everything 😭😂
❤️❤️❤️
One Were Warriors is one of my favorites. Also, I liked Murder By Numbers but there were some things that were watered-down. It's supposed to be an updated version of the Leopold and Loeb case that happened in the US in the 30s. The crazy thing about it was that the bigger deal over the case was not that they had murdered a little kid, but that they were gay. I get that they didn't want to make them being gay a huge deal in the movie because it's a lot less controversial now, but I still think the characters should have been gay.
Some great recommendations from you. I will put them on my Letterboxd watchlist. Thanks Emma 😊
I loved 'A Head Full of Ghosts' I Hope the film adaptation does it justice 😊
If you ever do want to listen to a Shirley Jackson book on audible, Haunting of Hill House has a nice performance and is pretty short. Thank you for all the recommendations!
A Head Full of Ghosts is amazing
You should make a Spookyastronauts Appreciation Club Shirt
Disturbia is one of my go to horror movie's. Watched it so many times. Empire Records also a favorite , own it on VHS.😁
yeah we are marshall is a true story, I live in around there and the fact all those kids died is still like a big thing here
Also if you like the movie Clue... Watch Murder By Death. So good!
We are Marshall! Looool, I worked at Marshall University...not a huge fan of the movie, but big deal in Huntington, WV.
So glad you liked Call Me By Your Name. One of my favs of the last decade for sure. Also, I can confirm Ace Ventura has not aged well AT ALL either lol.
Haha noted
Everyone keeps talking about how great Dark is, I guess I need to finally start it! I just finished the first season of Into The Night on Netflix and really loved it! Not too many people talking about that show, but it did just get renewed for season 2!
You watched a lot like you said I have watched a tone of stuff including four seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and one season of Angel along with What We Do In The Shadows season 2 and many other movies Sisters, Theatre of Blood, Martin, VFW. Yeah everybody's got a lot of time at the moment given her things are.
Added "Chainsaw Confidential" to the queue ❤️ and this reminds me to hit up "Take Shelter", "Attack the Block", and Xavier Dolan's films. And wow "Wicker Park"-- a blast from the past! That one slid past me back in 2004, but your 4 star rating definitely peaked my interest. I'll give it a go fo sho!
the sinner was such a let down ☹️ and i went crazy on season 1! season 2 was entertaining, but season 3 ugh bummer 😴
so sorry about your friend Dave, healing for his family and friends ❤️
I love the book A Head Full of Ghosts!
I think the main attraction for We Are Marshall was that it was a true story that was fairly well-known in the US at the time of the movie
Hard candy is totally great. I don't know why but definitely cool and great. 👍👍👏
I'm so offended with your rating of liar liar... I just can't ahahah I love that man
😂
Loved the longer vid! I just started Dark. I’ll need to rewatch the first episode though bc I was trying to clean while watching it and the subtitles- not a good idea
And so is April Fool's Day.... also an 80's classic.
I just listened to 'In the tall grass', I've seen the movie when it came out, but the book was way more intense, made me want to watch the movie again tho I didnt really liked it the first time
Waiting to watch the Sinner as want my boyfriend to watch season 1 and 2 first! I had a feeling from the trailer it wasnt going to be as good as the first 2!
My new favourite I've watched in lockdown is Raw! I thought it was AMAZING! I watched it a few times!

I would really like it if you could make a video about nightmares you've got thanks to horror movies. Because I hear a lot of people saying stuff like "This movie gave me nightmares" and now I wonder "What kind of nightmares?"
Check out “If Chins Could Kill...” if you’re a fan of the Evil Dead movies and Bruce Campbell. Very entertaining!

Have you ever watched The Quiet Ones? I’m curious if it’s worth watching or not.
don't worry. I like watching kid movies too. 😂😂😂😂 Yesterday I watched "The Witches" cause my nephew hadn't seen it and he liked it. so yay 😂😂
The witches is the best!! I saw it at an outdoor cinema again before lockdown
Always love to see your movie recaps of the month. I actually loved "Unknown" with Liam Neeson, but I know it's not a regular favorite. I remember the trailer made you think it was more of a sci-fi/parallel world plot, but it's just a solid Hitchcockian thriller. That kind of "false marketing" can backfire with audiences.
Here are my horror/thrillers I saw in June:
RATTER (2015, 5/10) - Good premise, but predictable storyline.
NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST (1958, 3/10) - Roger Corman film.
THE IMPOSTER (2012, 6/10) - Found it boring until the third act twist.
ALEXANDRA'S PROJECT (2003, 6/10) - Definitely not a date film.
TENTACLES (1977, 6/10) - Italian giant octopus film, clearly inspired by Jaws.
THE WITCH FILES (2018, 5/10) - Found footage meets The Craft.
THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE (1972, 2/10) - Classic schlock.
WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST (1958, 3/10) - More classic schlock.
DAY THE WORLD ENDED (1955, 510) - Classic Corman schlock.
5-HEADED SHARK ATTACK (2017, 2/10) - Seen 2-Headed & 3-Headed Shark Attack, so why not?
SCREAM, QUEEN! MY NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2019, 6/10) - Documentary about Mark Patton and the gay subtext of A Nightmare On Elm Street, Part 2.
THE LODGE (2019, 5/10) - Visually well-made, but predictable plot twists.
INVASION OF ASTRO-MONSTER (1965, 9/10) - Godzilla classic, also known as "Monster Zero".
ALLIGATOR (1980, 4/10) - Cult classic creature feature, though I've never been a fan of it.
THE IGUANA WITH THE TONGUE OF FIRE (1971, 5/10) - Italian giallo, not a monster film, had to see it just for the title.
RACE WITH THE DEVIL (1975, 6/10) - Road thriller, definitely recommend to anyone who likes The Hitcher.
THE VAST OF NIGHT (2019, 8/10) - Amazing low budget UFO thriller. A bit slow-paced, but can't wait to see what the director does next.
WAR OF THE PLANETS (1977, 5/10) - Italian sci-fi film, some genuine cool scenes.
DEVIL FISH (1984, 4/10) - Italian horror film directed by Lambarto Bava (Mario's son).
Awesome!!!! Thanks for all of this! Might have to look into some of them
I saw Alexandra’s choice it sounded so interesting .. I liked it!
Oh I’m glad!
have you watched angst (1983) on shudder?? i’d never even heard of it until i saw it on there & i haven’t stopped thinking about it since i watched it
I’ve seen angst!
THE THIRD SEASON OF THE SINNER HASNT COME OUT WHERE I AM AND IM SO UPSET!
Don’t be haha!
Love "Head Full Of Ghosts"
Head Full of Ghosts❤️❤️❤️
I really enjoyed Twelve Nights at Rotter House on audio book. Not sure if it’s on Audible. The ending was kinda meh to me but the rest of the book was great.
I feel you need to stop "justifying" what you watch when it's not the "usual" ... yes you're primarily horror but you are allowed to enjoy other films...and not enjoy other films lol
Trust me I get enough comments that I know what I sadly have to justify 😓
@@spookyastronauts believe me I get it. I have horror tattoos and horror all over my work desk but as soon as I bring up a movie non horror ppl lose their minds lol I get its different being on a platform though. Just try not to let those comments get to you.....were here for you not just becauae its horror.. as much as I love the horror content haha
I LOVE "Murder by Numbers"
If you wanted a tribute to Justin Long you should have used an image of Zerk from The Sasquatch Gang (2006). Different kind of disturbing. LOL 😁😁😁
Please keep reviewing ALL types of movies!!!!!
The shirt that you're wearing is on point....
Thank you
great video, Attack the Block rocks, check out The Hill and the Hole. stay spooky
Thanks!
Pleaseeee watch Sharp Objects, it’s a really good psychological mystery thriller TV Show starring Amy Adams, I really recommend it
I’ve seen it! Loved it
Hard Candy has implied gore I remember a tense scene where Patrick Wilson almost gets his member clipped
Watch it again, cause you’re remembering things wrong. What happens would be a spoiler, though, so I won’t describe it.
Yeah you see nothing
have you watched dark the series on netflix? it's soooo good
I thought the first half of "The Good Liar" really worked as a black comedy (Ian Mckellen swearing was very funny) but the ending was weird, predictable from the start but also very unpredictable at the same time. The flashbacks seemed to come from a totally different film.
Omg. I liked it. I was expecting predictable and i did not see the switch coming. Until half way thru or so. I liked it a lot.
Dark and The Sinner are so good
Emma! Do you know the movie: Storm of the century ?
Awesome Stephen King TV movie !!
I don’t think so
Yes its a TV movie ! You can take look at the trailer 😌

Can you include lists in your descriptions?
We Are Marshall is one of my biggest examples of why forced emotions usually doesn’t work in films. While the true story is definitely sad, the film plays out like a bunch of people saying “this is sad, why aren’t you crying? Please cry, please”. This is also my problem with Fault In Our Stars. The story doesn’t play out naturally, so I’m left feeling numb about it. Since Stars is clearer in my memory , scenes like strangers clapping after a kiss in the Anne Frank house or Dafoe’s final scene not making any sense, cause that character should have only been a visual interpretation of what she was going through, instead of the very unbelievable idea that he’d physical be there. Forced emotion in films is frustrating, which is why many Nicolas Sparks films, the biggest offender of this, go off the rails in the third act.
One final example of forced emotion is Pay It Forward, a solid film until it’s final minutes.
you should read the cabin at the end of the world by paul tremblay if you haven't already!
I need to for sure!
