DiBlasi would feel vindicated by your choice. Both great films. Although I prefer the original with a more eerie claustrophobic vibe, I really can’t fault anyone for liking Malum better. If you can’t watch Sandberg’s Lights Out, at least try to watch the shorts on Vimeo that his film is based on.

It’s hard for me to compare those two films. Both near-perfect films and shot in completely different styles. Loved both, but the darker, more sinister, tone in Weapons put it over Sinners for me. I would probably compare Weapons more toward Bring Her Back, which is also an epic film, than Sinners.

I remember a couple of my coworkers and I went to see the Friday matinee on opening weekend during our lunch break while working at the Anchorage Daily News. We did our best to arrive back to work with little notice of being late, but everyone knew. 😂

Totally agree with that, and I will add…That 2 would not be anywhere near the same film in color. The crudeness of 2 uses the B&W format as a crutch. And I think that is why I like it. I think the color version would be campy as hell. I hear there is a color version out there, but no hurry to watch
