        I guess I am in the minority but I still fail to see why anyone would be excited for a sequel to the original. I watched it and it was fine but there were no unanswered questions or character threads that needed more development on screen. The monster gimmick worked well once but got old quite quickly. It amazes me that this ever became a series in the first place. It seemed like a perfect example of a solid, one-off science fiction/horror film.

    The Death of Stalin seeing Iannuci’s name attached in the opening credits told me everything that I was in for, really.

    Not sure quite how historically accurate it is, but nothing overly glaring on a casual watch.

    Dark fun, although perhaps a little too glib in one or two places. Be interested to know how it meshes with the lived experiences of people under Stalin.

      I’ll never forget opening this one up without looking up anything and thinking it was going to be a historical drama lmao

    Slumber Party Massacre, the original, and I can see why it got a remake. B tier or maybe even C tier 80’s horror

    The Brutalist! I enjoyed it, and it didn’t feel like 3.5 hrs. I’d recommend watching it at a theater for sure. Thought it was a real story until I looked it up LOL

    Finally, The menu. Liked it, which is unusual since I’m very critical and have high standards.
