This is too much of a sadistic gorefest to ever be considered a truly great movie, but as far as sadistic gorefests go, it's not without it's qualities. The darkly comic bits were really quite good and it probably would have been a better movie if they were used more to balance out the gore. Probably the best thing it does is completely subvert a slasher trope that I can't really write about without spoiling the movie, but the villain does something unexpected about half way through that may have been done before, but I'm personally not seen it and it was quite a what the fuck moment. And although the clown thing may feel overdone since It, the villain here is actually really memorable, unlike a lot of modern slashers. Overall this was surprisingly decent, for those who can stomach it. 

An excellent three hour epic.

Now I'm mainly catching up with Prime and Shudder and things I've only got a limited time left to check out:

Not too bad, but nothing special. 

This one seems to have really gone under the radar. I'm actually the first person on RYM to even rate it. It's not going to be revolutionary to anyone, but it was an enjoyable diversion. The movie is a ghost story but not horror. 

A lot of promise in this one but I never managed to get properly invested in it. 

Better than I expected. A good story, and great space ship! The science is a bit fucked, but oh well...

And this was some fucking weird shit. Almost slipped into too fucking silly to be watchable. I mean a self-contained train? How fucking stupid! However, some great characters and a class war struggle story rescue it. My particular favourite characters were Tilda Swinton's Minister Mason, and Alison Pill's Teacher.

I did quite like Maniac Cop. 

Also back on the Bond movies, this time with Brosnan:

I have seen this one before and I actually did a project on it in university. I think it's a pretty good one, though it doesn't hold up so well after seeing the Connery ones. 

Just happened to me with Brosnan's second Bond outing:

I've never really been sure what Bond I might have seen growing up, but one thing I was sure of was that I'd seen all of Brosnan's. There was a few bits that seemed vaguely familiar in this, but I guess I must have only seen my Dad watching it and not actually seen it myself. 

Nine more movies plus the above Bond. Nothing that great for me, but some okay ones. Not sure The Crazies was the best movie to watch at the moment. 

It's not a clone. 

It is a completely unnecessary adaptation of The Body Snatchers though. I don't personally see any point in watching this version when the 50s and 70s ones exist. 

It's completely official though. 

It's entertaining enough and doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't (it's an unnecessary sequel that no one wanted with a gag in it about making unnecessary sequels no one wants).
