Apartment 7A was well acted and directed but my god what a pointless movie. Almost beat for beat a poor imitation of Rosemary with no new information worth getting. Truly a case of this was not needed.

You just reminded me that I never saw The Menu. I guess I need to add it to the shortlist!
I was only half-watching while my mom and her husband were tuned into Don't Trust the B in Apartment 7A; I thought the same thing! I love Dianne Wiest but there wasn't any suspense, like, at all because it became apparent this was gonna play out almost exactly the same as Rosemary and her sitch did. Which was a hell of a movie to watch without having it spoiled for me beforehand: THAT is a cinema experience that sticks with you.

The worst part was all that dancing SJDKLFJJFFJ I thought it was gonna give us some Suspiria/Black Swan moments but like the entire film it gave NOTHING. ZERO. NADA. ZILTCH. Not scary not creepy - just a whole lotta nothing!
Waste of money and talent. No wonder it went direct to stream?
The TV version with Zoe Saldana had more effort put in than this even though that faltered in the third act.

His ass also made a comeback in Fair Game which I paused and rewind multiple times to get a good glimpse of on VHS - the struggle was real for us old gheys.

Sliver is so disappointingly... there. Has nothing to do with the excellent poster and music.
Though that cut ending has always sounded like a scream. Why did they keep the volcano foreshadowing in the final version?
Usually when you see Eszterhas in the credits you at least know that depending on the director it's either going to be the worst (Jagged Edge) or best (Basic Instinct, Flashdance) movie you watch. Music Box and Betrayed sit comfortably between the two. Sliver can't even afford that

The killer in Sliver was so painfully obvious as well. But it was decent.
I looooved this! Her diatribe at the end was so perfect.
We know we are watching Sliver for William Baldwin and Sharon Stone. The plot is secondary.
I skipped I Saw The TV Glow because the director actually chanted “Pirate Bay all the way!” while stood in the Criterion Collection closet.
All while promoting her film that she wanted us to pay for to see in cinemas. Toe curling.

Well I pirated it and it was still not for me
Movie was boring as hell, so good choice!
Did a bunch of rewatches over the past couple of nights: Scooby Doo on Zombie Island remains essential Halloween watching for me & definitely was a gateway movie into my love of all things horror. I love it! Beetlejuice also remains a Halloween-season classic, excited to see the new one. Sleepy Hollow was last nights viewing, I liked it better than I remembered. The spooky atmosphere is top-notch and I love the overall look of it. A fast paced, silly watch, and all of the beheadings are a lot of fun. Finally, I did Jeepers Creepers 2 which was a favourite of mine as a kid, but it doesn’t hold up to repeat viewings now. It has its creepy moments, but way too much time stuck on the school bus hurts it. If they had of expanded the plot outside of that one setting for 90% of the movie it would have benefited, but I’m imagining budget constraints didn’t allow for that.

I was … sort of enjoying TV Glow for the first half hour but damn did it really not stick the landing.
