My wife does the same thing. Though for these kinda movies she opts out completely. I'll be watching Terrifier 2 alone when the time comes.

I'm halfway through this podcast, it's pretty great!I, too, was on the Barbarian train last night. Lots of fun for sure.
Glad and proud I avoided spoilers up to this point. When it was over I turned to my wife and asked “do you think it’ll hold up on rewatch, knowing where it’s going?” and she said she’d already read the whole plot on Wikipedia.
Me and your wife would get along. I am not big into scary/gory movies.

Watched a few great movies this weekend.
Poltergeist (1982)
Cant believe I had never seen this before. Such a great movie with great acting. Sure, some parts are dated but the overall themes and approach is so good.
Hereditary (2018)
Somehow completely missed this when it first came out. I watched Midsommar last week and was recommended this. Again, another really great film, builds the tension fantastically and there so many hidden elements that I imagine repeat viewings would be worthwhile.

2 more that I watched.
Scream (2022)
I binged the Scream series over the past week or so. Another series that I had never seen and it's one of those which is so bad its good.....in part. For the most part its just incredibly cheesy and quickly becomes a parody of itself. This one is the latest in the film series and has a lot of throwback characters and does actually try a veer away from the usual tropes (usually in a way that builds tension purposely without the expected reveal). Not the best film but ok.
Bullet Train (2022)
Now, this was an unexpected joy. Fantastic cast, solid (if over the top) storyline, some twists, lots of action. Really fun from start to finish.

Funny you mentioned this, I'm going to watch Midsommar for the first time tonight or tomorrow, will do Hereditary after.

Off the rails in a bad way?
I watched it recently and loved it, though admittedly it's not the type of film I'd recommend to everyone.

All Quiet on the Western Front was a solid movie. Definitely had some cringey moments of cheap looking CGI that detracted from the drama of the moment. Still a well-acted and the cinematography was well done. I'm sure it will win some awards.

Did you go into it know that it's a spiritual successor to Hellraiser?

Looking forward to this one. Bummer about the CGI. The previews made it look quite amazing.

Rewatched this recently as well. Definitely a blast, with some great spooky visuals. It’s such an overt aesthetic and tonal influence on Stranger Things.

For the most part it's very well done. There's just a few moments with fire/flame throwers where you could tell they went with CGI over actually setting people on fire.
Finials getting around to watching the new Hocus Pocus.

Decided to watch another Horror film for the first time tonight, the original 1980 Friday the 13th.
Growing up I remember watching Jason X (which I think was set in space?) and it's pretty far removed from the original. Great film though despite the story being pretty limited.

I remember watching Jason X as well around the time it came out. Felt like a parody of itself but was a rollicking good time.
I couldn't with the “cowabunga” from the one of the Sanderson Sisters.

A much better movie than everything that follows especially when consider how innovative it was at the time. Lots of things would go on to become cliche but this, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Exorcist are the 4 pillars that all modern horror movies are built upon.

So I’m guessing I’m a bit out of step here not watching a horror/thriller but I went out to the cinema last night and saw the Banshees of Inisherin. It’s just a really enjoyable and funny offbeat comedy, really liked it. Continues Martin McDonagh’s hot streak after In Bruges and 3 Billboards.

Colin Farrell is an absolute treasure. I love his role choices.

Loved In Bruges, but kind of hated Three Billboards. Nevertheless pretty excited to see this.
