Escape From Tomorrow is a guilty pleasure

 

probably not very obscure but I'm just gonna use your post as an excuse to make a list because I love making lists.

Braid
Cam
In Fabric
Nocturne
Starry Eyes
Tag (the Japanese one)
The Perfection
Triangle
Villains
Unsane
We're All Going to the World's Fair
You Won't Be Alone

 

Sweet. Seen all of those minus Braid and Nocturne. Will scope. Appreciate it!

 

1 is must see, skip 2 imo come back to it later if you get really bored or curious but it’s worthless, season 3 is decent. There’s a reference to season 1 in season 3 but no real apparent connection. Looks like this one has a connection to 1 at least.
Edit: I see many people have answered this. I really need to catch up on threads before I reply.

 

Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life

Satan’s Little Helper
Scary Movie (91)
Scary Tales
Spookies
The Suckling
Vamp
Hauntedween
The Midnight Hour
Psychos in Love

MaXXXine First Reactions Call Pearl Sequel a Gory Homage to Dario Argento

 

Had no idea Kevin Bacon and Halsey were in the cast. So pumped. Should probably watch New York Ripper this weekend.

 

Finished The Pyramid last night. Bad, bad stuff, which is a bummer. Imagine fumbling a found footage haunted house movie set in a pyramid! So much potential!

 

Did you ever watch The Ruins? It's pretty cool.

 

I did! It was quite good! I was surprised.

 

This seems... not great as far as marketing goes, lol

 

Most anticipated.

 

I’m still hyped for Lisa Frankenstein

 

I'm not particularly interested in The First Omen, but that reverse trailer is cool as hell

 

Awful, but it's getting people talking and I guess that's what they wanted.

 

Reviving classic supernatural horror must be the thing now. First Exorcist, then The Omen, and then we are getting a new Rosemary's Baby prequel from Paramount starring Julia Garner that was filmed in secret under a codename in 2022, that should be coming out this year.

 

If The First Omen and this Rosemary’s Baby prequel that I’m just learning about spawn direct sequels, I’m coining the term “preboot” now for prequels that reboot the franchise. You heard it here first. (I fully admit this term has probably already been used somewhere because nobody on this planet is original)

Rise of the Planet of the Apes would also be a preboot for example.

 

"soft reboot" is the umbrella term. A soft reboot can be in the form of a sequel or a prequel.

 

Oh I know, I was just making a play on the term “requel” for reboot sequels. Prequels needed their own specific term.

 

I like "preboot" haha

 

Anyone checking out Night Swim this weekend?

 

If a couple people in here say it's good I may be swayed lol
