Now I'll watch the Carpenter Thing to see how it ends. Interesting how the prequel is the latest iteration. Is anyone working on another? Carpenter's The Thing is 10x much better. (The prequel more or less steals a lot from Carpenter's thing) You have four other options, all the films sort of steal from each other, it's the genre. Sadly the prequel did what we the fans knew they would do and use bad CGI. I think what really pisses me off about it was that the producers and directors lied to us at every step of the way that they weren't go to Star Wars it up and then they did anyways. 1.) The Thing From Another World (1951) 2.) Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) 3.) Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) and the little seen but very good 4.) Body Snatchers (1993)

It's both a Scream knockoff and a calendar slasher so it's a double whammy in terms of ripoffs. But it also has Denise Richards in a bathing suit so all is forgiven.

Spooky B+ type film it won't give you nightmares but it is well acted, shot, and a welcome return to Haunted house films. If you despise jump cuts you'll hate this film. OMG this movie was TERRIBLE. I was so bored that I actually TRIED to go to sleep. Basic premise of the movie: Daniel Radcliffe, dressed as Lestat, walks slowly around house for 20 minutes, while creepy shadows appear behind him and he never sees them. Drop all music and sound effect. BLARE screeching strings and quick shot of eyeball in mirror or crow flying into bedroom. Cut to scene of man driving Daniel Radcliffe away from haunted house. Random child dies. Cut to man driving Radcliffe back to the house. Repeat for 2 hours. And was it really necessary to keep the cameras on him as he walked back and forth from the house? Did I really need to watch that happen in real time, because nothing even fucking happened. Also - lulz at them using the same footage of that creepy tambourine clown doll in like 4 different scenes. I guess they used up the budget on that.......oh wait - there were no cool effects. It sucked ass.

It was from the same director as Eden Lake, which is one of my favorite movies (not just in the horror genre) of all-time. Fuck, this movie was uneventful. NOTHING HAPPENED. The first jump scare was fine, but they abused it for 90 minutes. It was your typical horror movie disguised in period attire.

It's dumb, but I liked it. I have Black Death saved on my netflix. I love Severance, so hopefully it'll be as good/better.

That's what I was afraid the movie was going to be about. :\ Good thing we saw Chronicle instead.
