Letterboxd — Your life in film

Floor-to-ceiling bad, with music that is truly punishing.
Like, Gitmo-playlist punishing.

Sorry to those who love this one, but I would rather watch Verotika on a 24-hour loop than even try this one again.

I felt nothing

wants to be something like Promising Young Woman by way of Get Out, but couldn’t get out of my blu-ray player fast enough

“What’s this, Warren? Warren?! Do you recognize this?! What’s that for? Ever see one of these before? What’s it used for? What’s a-matter, cat got your tongue? IT’S FOR JACKIN’ OFF! ISN’T IT?!?”

About as hard a 5 as I can give something. Loved every second, especially the very suspenseful POV shot where you can only see the bottom of the stalking killer’s nutsack. And that ending!! 🔥🔥🔥

My Cousin Vinny is a Christmas movie because Marisa Tomei is a gift

“Freddy died by fire. Jason by water. How can we use that?”

“Oh, God, y'all, two killers? We're not safe awake or asleep.”

“Kia, he has asthma!”

I hate wrestling but I love this movie. Why?

Also, I couldn’t decide on a favorite quote from this rewatch so I picked a few. What’s your favorite piece of truck-stop poetry from this bad boy?

This is peak Nü Line Home Entertainment for me. I’ve rewatched it every year since it’s come out and it is just as awful as the first time. Still as awesome, too!

Yeah, it’s messy, and it’s like my fourth or fifth favorite of the entire franchise, but it was still the boogeyman, MY boogeyman, up on the big screen doing what he does best. I loved it and can’t wait to see how it Ends. 

Also, Jim Cummings plays a cop, so: instant banger in my book.

Will probably see it 2-3 more times this month and end up becoming it’s biggest apologist. 🤷‍♂️

Fulci once again proves he’s a genius by having Tom Cruise appear in every other scene of this movie

Stumbles a bit near the end and didn’t quite go where I was hoping/expecting, but otherwise filled to the brim with thick dread, masterful scares and a devastating lead performance. The Night House is 100% the type of modern horror I pine for and I was riveted for the duration. Rewatch could bump it a 1/2 star in either direction, but either way Bruckner is on a crushing roll right now and I can’t wait to see what he’s done with ⛓Hellraiser⛓.

Uncut version still has some serious wonk to it, but is much preferred to the theatrical cut that I’d only seen once back 15 years ago and didn’t care for at all. Ricci isn’t trying at all, and it opens at a Bowling For Soup show, but Judy Greer is a powerhouse per usual.

A very embarrassing oversight that I’d just never made the time for (mainly because horny Michael Douglas), but I have to imagine Hitchcock would’ve been quite chuffed. I certainly was!

“Me and my big mouth. We should have taken the trip to Hawaii.”

“I had the shirt for it, but you fucked it up.”

Now that I’ve read the book, I can say with authority that this bastardization is King.
