Just saw self-help. Pretty good stuff with a really nice performance by the lead. Then I randomly saw the masked killer from Founders Day and was VERY confused because I had no idea this was by the Bloomquist brothers. Fun little follow up to having just watched that.

Day 31: Halloween
Halloween II
A huge step up from the first. Also, YOWZA, Michael is vicious in this movie.
A+ to Danielle Harris, and I really liked how her death scene was filmed. Sorry, Annie. 😭
Not a bad way to end the month. Happy Halloween. 🥰

Day 30: Scream Knock-Off
Founders Day
So this movie was a ride and did go beyond what I expected from the reveals. It did get MUCH better once the “baddie” couple got taken out because OOF big “how you doing fellow kids” energy in their dialogue.

Hm… I’m not ending this month on the highest of notes. I didn’t mind the attempt to give Michael a backstory, but everything felt like an attempt to make the original again but with the not great way that things were in 2007. 😬

Well… that was a movie. I can see why Ti West wanted his name off of it, but I wonder if this was ever decent or if the producers were trying to save a dead movie.

Working my way through Universal monster films, and always a great time. Great makeup and effects on Karloff. What a tragedy of a story… I’ll need to read the book at some point.
Also… wild how controversial this was. :x

What world am I living in that I spent the entire movie hoping things would work out for them? 😭
This movie is incredible, and if you’ve got Hulu (and can stomach the bashing at the beginning), this is a must watch.

Day 25: Religious Fervor
Exorcism at 60,000 Feet
Well, this could’ve been in the bad taste category. 😬 I think this is the first thing I’ve seen Bai Ling in, and she’s a delight. Also, this movie had some of the best whimsical caper music I’ve heard in quite some time.

Primarily watched because I fell in love with Theodore Pellerin in Lurker, but this was a pretty good film. I really enjoyed the friend group dynamic, and the feet bit at the beginning was OOF. 😭

Definitely didn’t need the SA, but the filmmaking was great with the split screen and limited number of long shots.
Also… what a dire movie. Wish Shudder had the Spanish-language track since the dub was oddly hard to hear.

At the mural unveiling for the tenth anniversary of Obergefell v Hodges. Great speech from Jim Obergefell about the development of the design, and the location is across the street from where Jim and John Arthur lived when the case was decided.
