105. KICKASSIA (rewatch)

shockingly fun still! it isn't well made. it's not even GOOD. but channel awesome wanted to make a no-holds-barred, reverent slapstick comedy with their entire crew, and they accomplished what they set out to do.

thank god i already failed no nostalgia critic november.

104. THE ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD MOVIE (rewatch)

besides joining screenwave, this is the worst thing the nerd has done. there's a couple jokes worth some huffs through the nose, but otherwise this film contains nothing worthwhile for fans of the series or newcomers. extremely disappointing.

103. UNIVERSAL ORLANDO TRIP + HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS 34

went with friends to the universal parks for a few days! after nearly two decades of getting cucked out of it, i finally got on the simpsons ride and the world was brought back to balance. oh, everything else was cool too i guess lmao!

101. SE7EN (rewatch)

final spooktoberfest entry! solid, but not fincher's best. runs a little long and i wish it had more of an ending, but assuming you can see through the dark ass color grading, any lack of substance is made up for with style. those opening credits are siiiiick.

i looked but they didn't have them. fully broke my immersion and ruined my day.

99. CHAINSAW MAN THE MOVIE: REZE ARC

a spectacle that brings every element of the source material to life and perfects it. the only critiques i can think of are that it's just one part of a greater narrative, and that hawatari nioku centi's full version STILL ISN'T OUT. breathtaking.

98. DANDADAN (season 2)

shockingly not a shounen study friday entry! just catching up on some of the hits i missed throughout the season since i've been busy as fuck lmao. it's just as good as season 1! if not slightly better because it has a kaiju. top tier modern shounen. nuff said.

97. THE BLACK PHONE

ethan hawke and the kids all do a great job, and i really enjoy the aesthetic, tone and premise. some elements i felt were unnecessary or silly, and i wish the grabber and some of his victims had more substance instead of it all being so vague, but it came together! solid!

96. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (2025)

barely coherent. one of the weakest slasher scripts in years. definitive proof that the first film did NOT need any sequels- let alone a legasequel that trashes what little good it had. props for visually acknowledging the third films zombie fisherman tho.

95. CHAINSAW MAN (season 1) (rewatch)

this time, on a VERY SPECIAL installment of shounen study fridays...

93. ROOFMAN

no frills dramady that hits all the right notes! the cast holds everything together and keeps the entire film simultaneously light-hearted and grounded. there are multiple scenes where the main character pawns off sealed copies of the simpsons hit & run for xbox and i wanted to GET him.

92. TALK TO ME

didn't think a premise like "tiktok teens become addicted to getting ghost high" would get me invested, but this movie downright floored me. probably one of the best original horror films i've seen in a while! had an absolutely dreadful time and loved every second of it.

91. LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL

could have been great with better direction. i love the script and performances. there's strong set design and moments of tension- especially at the end- but the execution fumbles all the good the film has going for it. very disappointing. poster goes hard tho!

90. GINGER SNAPS (rewatch)

epitome of a perfect 8/10 from the Y2K horror crop. does jennifer's body somehow less subtly but actually has a point and gives weight to all of its characters. wish it had more of an ending but the practical effects rule, the music rules, the leads rule. good shit.

89. READY OR NOT

another radio silence banger! these guys always impress and this was no exception. not usually a fan of these plots, but there's just enough fuckery to keep things compelling all around. samara weaving, if you're reading this, i'd just like one chance. RIP damn daniel.

88. GREEN ROOM (rewatch)

deserves far more credit and recognition than its given. fun cast, great dialogue, grungy bottle setting and schlubby neo-nazis getting murked without payoff. one of the main characters just straight up looks like he's cosplaying zoro one piece. it's peak.

87. THEY/THEM (dropped)

this tepid focus tested dogshit accomplishes nothing for no one and not even kevin bacon can save its. well y'know.

got to the part where they start glee clubbing P!NK and just couldn't take it anymore. fuck this movie.

86. THE LIGHTHOUSE (rewatch)

eggers' best and one of the best modern uses of black and white! enjoyed it even more on rewatch, nasty jokes and spontaneous pet play included. eggers has basically perfected the slowburn descent into madness and every piece falls into place with that final shot.
