i love this kind of thing though tbh

my favorite kind of sci fi is the pulpy "we don't really know how this thing works but it sounds cool and helps advance the plot" kind of writing you get from really old stuff

no im sexist and classist

YA and pop fantasy are my anithesis but i'm thinking i should probably read something written in the past 3 decades

(it's a Psycho remake basically)

yes but with transphobia this time

speaking of de palma's take on Hitchcock, have you seen Dressed to Kill (1980)?

although i think it probably has more to do with the current video game ecosystem than the genre itself

it's still pretty bleak imo

and with that, SPOOKY MOVIE MONTH 2025 is finished!!!!!!!
and thank god too, was getting a bit *spooked* there towards the end 😨

now, i will no longer be filling up your feed with stupid live tweets about old movies, rejoice!!!

AND THAT'S IT!!!!
wasn't super into this one unfortunately, really lacked any unique or interesting things (outside of a very good performance by "Jaime") that would make this film engaging or stand out.
the last 3rd was a step up, but its already "too little too late" for me

6.9/10!

big points for whenever someone tries to fistfight the slasher villain

these kids are so mean 😭

the final film of spooky movie night 2025!!!!
it's the long awaited, return to form, Dwight H. Little's Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)!!!!!!
we did it folks

and that's it!
didn't love this one as much as i would have liked, but i still appreciate it. good performances, decent music, and alright as a story.
directing was good but also at points failed to keep my attention
7.7/10!

tonight's film! it's Joel Schumacher's Phantom of the Opera (2004)!
