Ill add You’re Next (not quite the same but close) to this list. Still need to see Hush but if it sits in your list with Panic Room and Gerald’s Game then I am 100% in.
Still cant believe they got the degloving scene on film. I had visions of that scene in my mind since I read it in 98. Was as gloriously nasty as I had hoped.
You know, I liked the set-up. Spooky glitches on recordings is a thing horror movies have done before but this movie does a good job of establishing the world of these 90’s video nerds. Unfortunately it kind of falls apart at the end and turns into a weird shaggy dog story.
I’d say skip this movie but keep an eye on the director and lead star, I’d give them a chance on other projects.
Changing subjects, Indy / Star Wars / LoTR are still the most consistent trilogies in the business.
I would watch Temple of Doom twice in a row on a loop while physically tied to my seat before I would sit through Matrix 2 again with full bodily freedom and autonomy, bathroom break privileges, etc.
Also I have no morbid curiosity to watch a second of any Jaws sequel. It’s very easy for me to simply believe nearly unanimous horrific reviews, especially about sequels.
