I actually went in to Velvet Buzzsaw blind and didn't realize it was a horror movie. I was digging it for the first hour or so until the actual horror started and that part is just so underwhelming compared to the rest (Imo, of course).

Europa Report is still the scariest non-scary movie. Just the implication makes the movie terrifying. A layer of ice and then water hundreds of miles deep. I get creeped out thinking about it.

The trick I had for Chucky was to not fight him and get him high instead.

There is a killer puppet movie that does exactly this. I'm pretty sure it's Idle Hands.

Idle Hands is underrated zombie stoner horror comedy. I actually rewatched it about a month ago. If any old horror movie deserves a Shout Factory release it's Idle Hands.

Edit: The no-frills Blu-ray is 10.42 USD on Amazon with Prime shipping. No one has an excuse.

Edit 2: Amazon knows me too well. It's like, "You should also buy The Faculty, Hard Ticket to Hawaii, and The Frighteners". drat I'm really bout to buy Idle Hands on Blu-ray.

That moment really got to me too, it's viscerally terrifying in a way that very few actual horror movies can accomplish. Especially how she's fully aware the entire time of what's happening as she falls, ugh

He's so weird looking. He like a unattractive Jeremy Renner like if Renner was in a accident that marred his face.

Also Jeremy Renner is not attractive.

So, the first three Final Destinations are on Netflix now, and I rewatched them over the last two weekends, and yeah, you’re absolutely right. He is a very weird looking guy. Like I noticed that rewatching that first flick in a way I never had before.

Renner at least built himself up so that he's got a good looking body, Sawa has the weird face and then he's also just a gangly skinny dude. Pretty impressive I suppose, what he was able to do with the tools he had.

I paid considerable money to have a DVD Player Multi-region decoded and Imported a copy of Idle Hands BECAUSE The Offspring are in it! It came out in the UK quite a lot later.

Fun fact: The Offspring are not the only Musicians to make a cameo in that film Tom Delonge of Blink 182 is working in the Drive Thru during that scene

This is a big part of why The Abyss works for me. Even more than many space movies it does a great job creating that sense that if even some tiny stuff goes wrong these folks are just going to be killed off instantly due to the level of technology they're working with. And all those POV shots of them initially going under like dang. Like in sci-fi movies in space there's almost always like, back-up systems, forcefields, escape pods, whatever. But in underwater movies there's always the immediate notion of something hosed up, seal poo poo up or get somewhere else ASAP or you drown.

I love Europe Report. I'm not a big found footage person honestly but I love that flick.

Everyone always forgets too that Europa Report has a legit cast, probably the best cast ever assembled for a found footage film. It goes a long way towards selling the audience on what's happening.

I would think it would have the opposite effect since unknown actors help sell the "authenticity" of it to the audience

also the best found footage horror film is Apollo 18, which had the most plausible and terrifying creature ever committed to the screen

I can see the logic in that but that logic typically falls apart because the unknowns are so often lovely amateurish actors.

Chucky is too inextricably linked to the 80s for weed in his universe to function as anything less than a gateway drug, so while smoking him out might get you away the first time, by the next time you face him he will have evolved into PCP Chucky, and you are hosed
