(I'm not going to bother with spoiler tags...) I felt the whole time like Jamie's hallucinations and paranoia are building to some sort of instability or erratic behavior. Before the very last scene, I figured the movie had forgotten about that thread, only for it very much not have forgotten.<br /><br />Overall, I'm a hair lower on the movie than you. It's decent enough, but a step towards the self-seriousness that would make the next two outings an utter slog. (I am learning about myself that I prefer my slashers Scream-ier and sillier, so the quasi-reboot of H20/Resurrection worked better for me, though I seem to be the only one other than Brennan who enjoyed the latter.)dan shttp://thegoodsreviews.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4633480297352890314.post-17830046904303286472021-10-23T09:11:14.884-11:002021-10-23T09:11:14.884-11:00You very much rc about my feelings toward Rob Zomb...You very much rc about my feelings toward Rob Zombie's Halloween movies. H20 I just rewatched, and while I really used to like it, I have seen Bride of Chucky for the first time between this watch and the last, and that really is just the superior 1998 post-Scream franchise slasher in every conceivable way.<br /><br />I'm staying strong and sticking with the slate you gave me! I do appreciate shortness as a quality above all else. Queen of Outer Space was a slooooog though, I just watched it last night. I appreciate the olive branch though.Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399713449347559869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4633480297352890314.post-85173342659715799812021-10-22T12:35:36.892-11:002021-10-22T12:35:36.892-11:00"Little account" does seem mean and valu..."Little account" does seem mean and value-judgmental. "Low attestation," "rarely cited"? Though Anacondas: Hunt For the Blood Orchid probably does generate more discussion than the movies I like. Oh well.<br /><br />As for the franchise, I like the redneck energy of Rob Zombie's and think they achieve something in that, though iirc you kinda hate them and I can't really argue with that, as they're certainly not to decent tastes.<br /><br />I need to rewatch H20 sometime, I remember digging it but it's been literally over two decades.<br /><br />By the way, I did catch up with the movies I gave you and, uh, they're cultural artifacts, I guess. I'm genuinely consider offering an opt-out for a new slate. They're real real short though!Hunter Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925220178171355473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4633480297352890314.post-80021770677171811952021-10-21T12:15:40.985-11:002021-10-21T12:15:40.985-11:00I think that beyond the first three films, "b...I think that beyond the first three films, "better than you'd expect" is the absolute height of praise. Also Michael does blow up a gas station and it is indeed rad as fuck.<br /><br />Also, how rude you are to Dwight H.
