Presence fucking ruled. Totally loved the found footage vibe and had me when intrigued throughout. I think it replaced Bring Her Back as my new number 1 so far this year.
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie was really good and basically a '50s Sci-fi/Horror movie. I'm counting it.
Vinegar Syndrome has another sale. This one also has a crazy "Going Out of Print" section, with some classics on there. If you've got $10-$20 to spend, I can't speak highly enough about the Rubén Galindo Jr. films Cemetery of Terror, Grave Robbers and Don't Panic. They're $10 each and worth every penny. Cemetery is a Halloween set slasher with a ton of great gore. Grave Robbers is basically a Mexican Friday the 13th. Don't Panic is my favorite, a Nightmare on Elm Street ripoff that gets nuts.

Did a quick glance through the app, I'd recommend: The Taking of Deborah Logan Hell House LLC Wolf Creek The Babadook Hereditary Cooties What Keeps You Alive Anna and the Apocalypse Tragedy Girls
Trailers before 28YL The Long Walk Honey Don't Weapons (new!) The Roses (@imthegrimace's favorite/most anticipated) Predator Badlands The Black Phone 2 (new!) The Naked Gun (new) Caught Stealing IKWYDLS (new!)
I'm shocked I haven't seen the IKWYDLS trailer once before any of the horror movies I've seen in the last month or so
i like both of them but i'm not gonna get upset or up in arms when others don't. not like with Flanagan (and even then i'm mostly joking)
28YL is easily my favorite of the franchise. it's nice to have Boyle back at the helm. i feel like with Days (and Men) Garland had some weird feminism stuff to work out (and with Civil War/Warfare, some weird war stuff to work out; i don't feel like watching those two). it's nice to have him back in the realm of sci-fi again. Alfie Williams, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes were good, Anya Taylor Joy Aaron Taylor-Johnson was just okay. when a horror sequel comes out after over ten years (in this case, almost twenty?!) i expect some huge, grandiose thing. Final Destination Bloodlines certainly delivered in that regard, with some of the most creative kills and one of the best opening sequences in the franchise, and a great story to boot. Years, however, takes sort of an opposite approach. there aren't huge hordes, hardly any big gunfights. it's not even about the village, really, it's about a single family. the scope is so small, the atmosphere relatively quiet (aside from the weird needle drops--i never quite understood the music choice for this series). it's an intimate, character-driven romp through the country-side. the, uh, zombie-infested country-side. The birthing scene was weird as fuck if you think about it for too long, but Comer was so down to support her fellow woman, undead or not, and i think that's strangely beautiful. Fiennes is made out to be this strange and evil character but once we meet him he's really nice and his monument is, uh, quite ominous, yes, but also strangely beautiful. and i think him giving her a peaceful out in a world overcome with violence is, again, strangely beautiful. her son giving her skull the place of honor atop the monument and facing the sunrise was an unexpectedly bittersweet moment for a horror film. i maybe could've done without the kid from the opening bookending the film, but it's just another strange choice that adds to the charm of the franchise
