@MightyDemon82 Yeah it's the only Predator film I haven't seen and don't want to subscribe to any of the platforms that stream it so I plan on buying it on bluray at some point but it looks pretty good! I couldn't agree more with you in regard to stories focusing on different time periods.
It is very difficult and expensive for time periods in general but it would be amazing to see more Predator films in different time periods especially in different countries. There are so many opportunities!
I figured the Puppet Masters would be guilty entertainment from the 80s & 90s. I have only seen the first one years ago but definitely should watch them, eventually I will.
Just started to watch the Resident Evil Anthology on 4k yesterday(bought the set for $45!! a few days ago) and damn the first one is even better on 4k! The 2nd one is entertaining but not on the same plane as the original. I don't recall watching 4, 5, or 6 but it should be some fun!
@Hogs-of-War-General $45 is a steal! Cheapest I can find is $65 here, but that is the stripped down collection with very little extras... though, were I to go for the fully loaded version, we're talking around $320,- which is waaaaay too rich for my blood
@FuriousMachine It is and that's why I snatched it up at my local thrift store! I'm not a big fan of the series but for the full set in 4k it's a no brainer. I have a few more sealed 4k horror films I need to open up and watch but I plan on leaving the best as it gets closer to Halloween.
Oh I got some heavy hitters I can't wait to watch!
Dune 2021 (4K UHD Blu-Ray) - My second time watching this (my first was last year around this time on Netflix). Don't think I loved it as much as I did the first time around, but it's still a solid watch and provides a lot of world building for what's to come in the sequel.
Risky Business (4K UHD Blu-Ray) - Despite it's fame I've never actually watched this before, and it wasn't quite what I was expecting. I was expecting a goofier teen debauchery comedy like Weird Science based solely on the infamous dance scene (which is the only thing I knew about the film beforehand), but it ended up having a bit more of a dry satiric wit. Not a bad thing though, I'll just have to watch it again in the future with the right mindset (which is something I'll definitely do, as my dad spent like 60-70% of the film's runtime listening to social media videos really loudly on his phone, so I couldn't focus well).

Another Shudder original today and another film really undone for me due to poor pacing and not leaning enough into the things that really work, and that is a film called Oddity. If Damian Mc Carthy's other film, Caveat, is on Shudder still, watch that. Way better.
Anyone order anything during the Amazon Big Deal Days sale?
I ordered ten items across 6 decades of film history.
70's: Superman: the Movie (4K UHD BD)
80's: Ferris Bueller's Day Off (4K UHD BD), Funny Farm/Spies Like Us double pack (Blu-Ray)
90's: Jurassic Park (4K UHD BD), Dragonheart (4K UHD BD)
00's: Tomb Raider double pack (4K UHD BD)
10's: Jurassic World (4K UHD BD), Interstellar (4K UHD BD)
20's: Oppenheimer (4K UHD BD), Babylon (4K UHD BD)
Granted, it'll probably be months before I get to any of it. I still haven't finished everything I picked up during Prime Day back in July, & I've picked up dozens of standard Blu-Rays in thrift shops in-between then & now I need to watch first as well.

Got Arrow Video's lovely new "Exorcist 2:The Heretic" set (goodbye and good riddance WB DVD snapcase!) that contains both extant versions of the movie (release cut and shorter international edit - both borderline unintelligible) as well as a full range of extra features. Its reception at the time of release was sort of akin to what's happening at the moment with "Joker 2" in that the most commonly asked question of director John Boorman (genius/crazy person) was "are you actually taking the p*ss?"
Finally got around to seeing one of the most hyped horror movies this year I saw the TV Glow.
Whispers...
I didn't like it.

😂
Like I get the message here. If this movie spoke to you. Allowed you to realise something in your life. Gave you the courage or power to face something you've been otherwise scared to face, then I love that for you.
@Pizzamorg
I thought it was a bit meh when I saw it. I thought the directors other movie 'We're all going to the world's fair" was much worse and just really dull. I don't think I'll watch their next one.

@LN78 Oh so it's that kind of movie haha? Those can be pretty enjoyable and definitely has a place for viewing!
@Pizzamorg It's not a horror film and people need to stop calling it that. But completely agree with you because the film is garbage. Has a lot of moments and story beats throughout the film with plenty of potential to be great however it usually ends of up flat. The ending is also very anti-climatic which is the worst.
Not sure why it's getting all the praise, only noteworthy thing was the soundtrack.

Oh yeah, Worlds Fair was awful lol TV Glow had much of the same problems, but was still technically an improvement... I guess 😂

Actually have the soundtrack on right now while I am doing a little gaming. One thing I will take away from this 😂
@Hogs-of-War-General Coincidentally, the score for "Exorcist 2" by Ennio Morricone is the best thing about the movie - if you discount Linda Blair's tap dancing.
I watched Hell House LLC, a found footage horror about some people setting up a haunted house experience in an actually haunted hotel. A bit cack and low budget but I really enjoyed it.
