β€œEveryone’s dead.

The most Resident-Evil-ass note I’ve ever picked up in a Resident Evil game haha.

Love chatting with my friends over at Certified Forgotten about some bleak ass horror.

Si! On the lower end of the spectrum, but still liked.

(A separate and lesser issue issue from the β€œPeople just don’t like Scream 7 because of politics” crowd, of course.)

I saw this take in a review, and did a quadruple take. β€œIt’s a Scream movie, what did you expect?” Kindly, what in the bold blue fuck are you talking about?

Scream 3 was the only entry I didn’t like, and even that’s growing on me. Quality-wise, it’s one of the most consistent horror franchises.

Funny how quickly the goalposts change to fit someone’s narrative.

Haha I was legit tempted to try this myself after watching the interview, but haven’t had the right … chance yet. (Not going to ruin a normal day eating this lol).

Boom goes the dynamite. This was the leverage Trump had over Sarandos and what Netflix got out of them backing off. Pure kleptocracy.

I'll give you "dark comedy" in the way that that 99% cacao dark chocolate bars exist lol, fair.

NOTED COMEDY, THE CREMATOR. The more you talk about this movie, the better I understand you, hahaha.

Is it a coincidence that we recorded this episode during Trump's State of the Union? About Nazi evils, and how hollow, spineless cowards are so easily manipulated by power?

Life's funny like that sometimes. Always a pleasure to chat movies with @theneonbanshee.bsky.social.

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that?

And then they grew up to be even worse?

Hopefully, if there is a just and merciful god, this is the last time I'll write about these horrendous movies for the rest of my career.

β€˜The Strangers’ Trilogy Reboot of Bryan Bertino’s Classic Fails its Remake Experiment If you’ve read my ongoing analyses of horror remakes on Bloody Disgusting over the years, you know that, as much as possible, I try to stay positive. Sometimes, that’s just not possible. Once in a blu...

Typically, I let horror remakes breathe before adding them to my @bloody-disgusting.com analysis series β€” but I couldn't wait to leave Lionsgate's THE STRANGERS trilogy in the dust.

The reboot-make (?) is bland and forgettable, but what comes next retroactively makes CHAPTER 1 worse by the minute.

Review: THIS IS NOT A TEST is a Middling Mix of Zombies and John Hughes - Daily Dead My hot streak with Adam MacDonald’s directorial features has come to a close. It’s a shame, because MacDonald brings a personal passion to his high school zombie flick, This Is Not a Test. The writer ...

Wish I dug THIS IS NOT A TEST more! Been a fan of Adam MacDonald's films thus far (Pyewacket is so so so good), but his YA zombie flick shambles along like too many before.

Haha oh I’m an O.G. Duke Nukem fan so I’m with you. And yup, that’s what I felt a whole whole bunch.

You will get no argument from me after watching SCREAM 7. It’s legit so … well, you read the review. It’s that. And it’s icky.

You know news is very bad when it involves David Zaslav and Ted Sarandos, and neither look like the biggest villain of the story.

I get it. Like, it's painful to dislike a Scream movie this much. Because that's the question β€” how do you start fresh when core characters are such an important part of its success?

Like, a Ghostface cult? But, I mean, other franchise have tried that idea ... haha.

This was always a lesser of two evils situation, but one evil was identifiably worse: the Ellison-led Paramount.

It’s wiiiild how petty Williamson comes off, being in charge of this one. Like, it’s just, there lol.

Oh fair. I definitely mean the slapdash and sloppy execution, not a specific person or anything.
