Creepshow: 1x03 All Hallows Eve / The Man in the Suitcase

One of the best eps so far. The suitcase story had a solid ending.

Creep 2

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Creep 2’:

  1. Like the first one, it’s difficult to tell where the story is gonna go.
  2. I was surprised at how this felt completely different from its predecessor, while successfully continuing the same story. Less creepy, more psychological.
  3. I agree that these are some of the best, more original “found footage” films.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Creep’:

  1. Just when I thought I knew where this was going, I was wrong. Super unpredictable.
  2. Mark Duplass does creepy incredibly well.
  3. Aaron couldn’t have been more frustratingly dumb.

The Shining

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘The Shining’:

  2. The score is probably the biggest star of this film.

  1. After this rewatch, I was reminded even more how incredible Kathy Bates is.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

My Review of ‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ in 3 Sentences:

  1. I wasn’t fully satisfied, but I wasn’t bored - thanks to some solid spooky visuals.

  2. The Bellows family story - the source of the action - felt rushed and incomplete.

  3. One major downside is that several character fates will never be revealed by a sequel that’ll never happen.

Head Count

My Review of ‘Head Count’ in 3 Sentences:

  1. This was a clever little horror movie totally worth a rewatch.

  2. This kind of storytelling is what I was hoping for from the new ‘Twilight Zone’.

Eraserhead

I can appreciate the cinematography, the score, and a big ball of weird being left up for a whole lotta interpretation. But I found this film to be more frustrating than entertaining.

I finally decided to check Eraserhead out after seeing it at the tippy top of a bunch of lists and receiving recommendations from friends. In the end, I just wasn’t as satisfied as so many other viewers were.

It: Chapter Two is a perfect example why horror films should rarely use CGI. Their overuse of it took me out of the moment on way too many occasions. The original television movie used practical effects that were more creepily-effective than what was used here. The Chinese restaurant / fortune cookie scene serves as an appropriate comparison.

I enjoyed the film overall. Skarsgård is a super talented actor, and I enjoyed what he brought to Pennywise more this time around. The Losers’ Club ensemble was fantastic as well (Chastain is queen). It’s difficult not to compare everything to the original (which I still believe is superior). Skarsgård is no Curry, but - then again - nobody is.

I will admit, however, that this modern day venture into Derry wins out with its ending. As opposed to the 1990 film, :asterisk_symbol:this:asterisk_symbol: one is properly climactic in every way. And kudos for the addition of Richie’s true love. :rainbow_flag: (Hader was perfection.)

Survivor: 38x08 Y'all Making Me Crazy

Survivor is my absolute favorite reality show. This episode, however, falls among my least favorite.

There was nothing exciting or entertaining about this tribal council. I’m simply not a fan of this whole new thing where people get up and whisper to each other and strategize super-last minute. I was waiting for Jeff to be like, “That’s enough. Sit down, it’s time to vote.” But he let it unravel into this chaos that ultimately, for me, was absolutely impossible to follow as a viewer.

Bring me back to when everyone yelled at each other from the comfort of their own seat before voting - and simply had to guess/wonder if the plan had changed.

The Americans: 1x04 In Control

Still on the fence about this series. I’ve waited so long to check it out, expecting that type of indifference. I’m not a political person, nor a history buff, so I find myself lost in a lot of that jargon.

Staying for Russell and Rhys. Hoping to get on the right side of the fence as I keep watching.

You: 1x01 Pilot

Interesting premise, like ‘Fear’ but from the perspective of Marky Mark.

Penn is a snack, but too bad he’s Looney Tunes.

And I think we’re all on the same page about the curtain-free windows. Biggest (silliest) shock of the episode.

Curious to see more.

This was no doubt Supergirl's best episode to date. My only complaints are James (of course) and that the red kryptonite was somehow Maxwell Lord's brainchild. Otherwise, it was FANTASTIC.
