If not, it's a really promising development.

I thought the first Terrifier was fun when I watched it a year or so ago. Super creepy killer. Some truly funny comic relief moments in the first 1/4. Nice homage to 80s slashers without being too campy.

Finally got around to watching Impetigore. Wasn't what I expected, but was a nice ride. Nothing scary about it. Definitely interested in watching the other two that get good reviews.

X was decent. Maybe tried a little too hard to be a vintage grindhouse style movie. I wasn't bothered by visual references to some of the classics. The plot is a little preposterous, but I do think he tried to develop the characters. I was entertained. I'll definitely watch Pearl.

Episode 4 of Cabinet of Curiosities "The Outside" directed by Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night and The Bad Batch) is really terrific, gross, and hilarious horror...though unlikely lesser known. Recommended

This was pretty good. I'm fairly sure I'd have hung out with Pauline if my high school was co-ed. What a performance!

Thanks for the rec. Not the biggest GdT fan, but I'm glad he brought in others to get this off the ground.

Looking forward to Resurrection later tonight.

How was Resurrection? It's next on my list and folks are raving, so I'm a little skeptical...

Resurrection is a fantastic slow burn weird-as-hell psychological thriller. If you're looking for spooky-Rebecca Hall I strongly recommend The Night House, but she shines in this weirdo thriller as well. She's brilliant.

I tried Del Toro's new anthology. First two were kinda meh, and I stopped halfway through "The Autopsy" because I was getting sleepy. Maybe I should've started with that one, but I plan on bingeing the first season this afternoon especially because I'm interested in watching how they decide to handle Lovecraft's stories Pickman's Model and Dreams in the Witch House. I find everything GdT touches visually arresting, but never scary. Maybe it's me!

CoC is a mixed bag, some eps are solidly entertaining like 3 and 4 - though none of it, like most Del Toro produced work, is scary…more like creepy and compelling to look at. Some almost work, like 1, 7, and 8. Ep 6 was just not good.

I really liked Resurrection and Hall, in general. I didn’t care much for The Night House when it came out, but she was her typical unhinged-great in it.

Anyone see Spring? There is a good movie in there somewhere, but the dude in it pretty much ruined it.

Spring was kinda meh.

The guy's face is one of the things I can't remember.

Anybody remembers Masters of horror? "The washingtonians" was creepy.

I'm usually onboard with Benson & Moorhead, Spring being no exception. Have yet to see Resolution though.

My favorite Masters of Horror was John Carpenter's Cigarette Burns. I really dug the concept of a director weaponizing their film to make an audience go insane.

Haven’t seen Resolution, thanks for the rec.

That new Argento “Dark Glasses” was rough stuff…
