Horror films.

They’re showing Black Christmas at my local cinema in a couple of weeks and I’m ecstatic.

Moving on, the audacity of part VIII being called Jason Takes Manhattan when the first hour is on a boat and not on Manhattan! They tricked us with the typical Noo Yawk street punks up to no good at the start making me think this one would feel different and not be by water, only to set it mostly by water. And lolz at the scene where Tamara (who looks about 30 - standard) tries to seduce the principal and rather than him saying 'what the fuck are you doing, get dressed you hussy" she somehow manages to pin him down on the bed and make out with him before he manages to shake her off!

Ddd they filmed it in Vancouver save for the Times Square part.

Tamara needed more time on screen for her delicious scheme - they killed her off way too soon.

Now is the time to strap in for the real nonsense to begin.
 
Hello Mary Lou is everything. When she had sinful relations with many boys, many times? Queen.

OMG, I have missed so many AWESOME discussions.

Hello Mary Lou, Prom Night 2 is a classic. Still needs to be issued on Blu-Ray.

Mary Lou would have been an awesome pop queen.

I still remember I posted this back in 2018:

I still remember Leonard Maltin's dirty old man review of Prom Night 2 and Wendy Lyon's performance:

No relation to Prom Night, Lyon, who looks great in or out of costume, is possessed by the spirit of a murdered prom queen and becomes her instrument of revenge.

I had to pause it with about 35 mins to go last night and have only just caught up. They have the Times Square scene for about 5 mins and then .... they go in a fucking sewer. These people don't deserve to survive.
 
I watched Smile last night & I am gagged! Not only were the jump scares some of the most effective I’ve seen in a long time but the tension throughout was palpable. The smiling entity was so unsettling, I was scared watching this one. And the twisting, contorting shots of landscapes throughout which got progressively more disorientating? Chef’s kiss.

Also I want to shoutout the main actress who I thought did a phenomenal job. We’ve seen the ‘everyone thinks the main character is crazy’ trope before but this representation of it was heart breaking and bleak, I think a lot of its effectiveness was down to the acting.

My only complaint was that I wish they had cut down the scene
where the mother monster was on fire. It was the only scene that took me out of the movie a little because it looked kind of silly. But it looked frightening at all other times so it’s a small gripe.
