And the Magical Black character, and the black character who performs a self-sacrifice to save the white leads.

I know Scatman Crothers is the classic example of this and that role is rightfully criticized but it really does work in that movie. Mainly because of all the buildup that his death gets where he’s going through all that bullshit to try to reach them and then the rug gets ripped out from under you the second he goes through the door. I thought for sure they were building to something similar in Get Out but Peele tricked me.

"I Sell the Dead" was decently fun. The protagonists accidentally invoking the wrath of a really creepy/corpsey vampire at misty crossroads was really the high point of the movie though.

Apart from Ron Perlman, that is.

Netflix quietly added a 3rd season of Haunted recently.

For those who've missed it, it's a talking heads show where a person tells their Very Real Ghost Story to friends and family in a round table setting, with R-rated reenactments. Sometimes the other guests contribute to the story. It can be anything from haunted house to possession to alien abduction.

This season is even more egregious than before. Tons of unnecessary blood, gore and nudity shoe-horned into the stories, tons of artistic license in the reenactments, and even more animated guest storytellers with even less pay-off.

I love it. It's secretly one of the best things Netflix has made.

Warning though, one of the newer episodes has animal cruelty in the opening reenactment. They don't actually show anything, they do quick editing to cut-away, but it's still a satanic ritual where they kill a cat to soak a hardcore chick with blood. I believe it's the 2nd or 3rd episode.

Hatchet was almost like a weird speciality film. Its gimmick was slashers are dead so here is a slasher-rear end-slasher. The problem is that Hatchet really has none of the charm of an actual slasher. It just feels like a fake movie.
The thing with movies like Hatchet is that they're for hardcore horror franchise fans, so they try to go from Friday the 13th to Friday the 13th Part VI in like one movie. Sometimes they pull it off.

I have to figure Gunn is at least somewhat involved in the Toxie remake, and he's in a position to lean on a lot of people right now so I have faith it'll go forward. Now, will it be good or a giant mess, that I could not say

Goddamn Spiral sure drops off a cliff in that last act, huh? I was sort of digging it (or at least parts of it) until then but woooof that ending.
I thought it was pretty consistently weak throughout. The traps were kinda boring (and often not how human bodies work!), and as with the last several installments it relies far too heavily on everyone doing the exact right stupid thing at the exact right time, and conveniently being alone. They did a flashback montage of important lines 30 minutes into a 90 minute movie. There's also ZERO connection between Jigsaw and the copycat, so it's a very obvious handwave to use the gimmick. On top of all that, I really, really don't need topical social messages from Saw of all things.

I guess I watch these because I'm a sucker for puzzle horror, but I hoped that with a few big names it might be better than some of the franchise's stinkers. At this point they should do what every long running horror franchise does. Bring Jigsaw back through supernatural bullshit, then go full camp: Set one in medieval times and use ancient torture devices. Set one in space. Make Jigsaw an AI and upload him to the internet, and if you die in the game you die for real. Otherwise it's the same exact thing, just diluted a little more each time.

Spiral was more fun than the other saws because I enjoyed the traps killing the victims bc they were cops and I didn’t feel bad at all lmao.

Spiral is a very heavy handed GET IT? GET IT? commentary on police violence wrapped in an incredibly boring Saw movie that still manages to be like 4th best in the series by virtue of it being a poo poo series.

Exactly lol. Like it’s just flat out not my thing but besides one maaaaybe two, they’re very “oooh see you get it? This is the bad cop one! This is the health care one!”

I wish I liked it more but I don’t. I’m fascinated by it though.

Best part of Spiral was them saying "Jigsaw never targeted cops!" and I'm just remembering every movie having a bunch of cops getting killed by Jigsaw and/or his disciples, with cops being the main target in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 being about a cop trying to not get busted as being Jigsaw 2 and killing a bunch of cops in the process, and then Jigsaw AGAIN had a cop as the main target!
