Thanksgiving - fun little movie with some recognizable faces. Executed perfectly for that gore/humor style of horror movie

Saw X - as expected with some wild ways of people dying but way too much story for me. No Saw movie should be 2 hours

The Last Voyage of the Demeter - should've been way creepier but the whole thing felt super bland and boring

Man, I started Thanksgiving the other week, and normally stuff like that has bothered me, but the first half hour was pretty grotesque. Maybe I'm just getting old.

My wife and I watched Night Shift last night on Prime, not too bad. The lead actress is FAP worthy.

That flick really is the barometer for a horror/comedy. It's perfectly balanced between the laughs and that creepy-to-your-soul moments. The best friend is trying to help, the main characters can sense the evil looming, and the story of what's to come told through your best friend as a harbinger...

You'll Never Find Me on Shudder is a good watch
