    Think we're gonna finally watch X tonight. Watched Halloweed Ends last night, so we need to watch something actually worth a shit.

    Barbarian was a good starter and a bad bullpen

    X was fantastic, as expected. I know Pearl isn't supposed to be as good, but we'll probably watch that tomorrow. Want to watch Black Phone this week too.

    Saw it described as Scream for Gen Z, which piqued my interest.

    The imagination is often better than the actual thing. It was great until we saw the big bad.

    Thought it was very fun in theaters-- it is way more comedy than horror though.

    Pearl is a little more unique than X as it's basically a weird character study. I liked X more for it's tone and commentary, but really enjoyed both. Should def watch if you liked X

    X was easily my favourite horror movie of the year. Smile, Black Phone, and Barbarian all promised a lot but didn't really deliver. And Scream and Halloween were just crap.

    Smile was so bad I just went home halfway in. Dialogue was stilted, the "dropping a glass because she's startled" happened so quickly back to back the screen writer felt the need to throw a lamp-shading comment into the movie, and the entity didn't follow the in-universe rules established in the first act. Just bad.

    My concerns about Terrifier 2's runtime were justified. Way too long and could barely pay attention at the end even though I watched in 2 sittings.

    Watched Barbarian. Wasn't what I expected. The first half was definitely better than the second in my opinion. But overall really liked it.

    Bigger budget, less intimate than the original. Probably not as fun/funny.

    Speaking of Long he did an interview with my buddy on his podcast, he's a genuinely nice dude.

    Barbarian is a really well constructed, tense first act. In the end of the second to third act it takes a hard right into schlock. It all depends on how much you enjoy that jarring shift.

    Wonder if it’s set in the same universe as the 2013 remake, the originals or it’s own universe.

    It’s a sequel to the 2013 one, which according to Rami and Bubba Ho-Tep is more aligned with their original vision for the very first Evil Dead.
