I think a lot of people are expecting the next horror blockbuster hit and may be disappointed that it’s not. 

What we do get is a more mature and thought provoking horror film with fantastic storytelling and compelling characters. Also some great practical FX.

A very frustrating viewing experience

The entire first hour is a disaster and could have been left out entirely. Very reminiscent of the sloppy film that came before. 

Thankfully!! After that things get much better. 

Never reaches the heights of the best films in the series but the underwater scenes alone are worth seeing on the big screen!

I actually rather enjoyed it! I had low expectations to begin with though. 

It doesn’t come close to capturing the sense of dread that the others have. The kills aren’t anything earth shattering and I definitely wish there was more emphasis on practical FX. I actually enjoyed it the characters here though surprisingly and the story for the most part. 

We’ll see if I feel different after some time.

Coen Borthers Esc but just lacking some. Was nice to see JGL in a different role. 

This one just needed a bit more… some of the little details that make these types of films come together. Still a good watch though.

What an insane plot

Fun times though

Ehhhh I’m so sick of this crap. Why why do people eat this stuff up? 

Could have been good if it had a single original cohesive thought. There are dollar tree slasher films better than this. 

Ok I’m angry… maybe I’ll go easier on it tomorrow lol.

🤮

This review may contain spoilers.

Seriously so underrated still. So well shot and confidently directed. Fantastic blocking in here used for storytelling, reveals and comedic timing. Many great memorable lines, a lot of them from Bo. 

People have a lot of issues with the ending which I get but also if they had to send out scouts/create navigation with the crop circles then it would make sense that they may not even realize water hurts them. However that doesn’t explain why they avoided places of water… although it’s never said for sure that they actually do that. 

There is also the possibility that they simply needed to harvest something (people?) for their own survival so haaddd to come down. 

Point being I think people get too caught up on that part when the rest of the movie solid.

Solid

Love these types of movies. One man against a small town.

Like a warm nostalgic hug.

Felt very 90s/2000s thriller meets modern pg-13 horror. Enjoyed this one quite a lot overall and acting was actually great! 

Felt very competently directed from Christopher Landon also… even got to see a tiny taste of what his Scream may have looked like at the end.

Really solid little 90s Hacker thriller! Glad I gave this one a chance even though I had never heard of it. 

Clearly dated but at the same time kind of not at all haha

Good, not amazing but very solid. If I had no expectations at all I’d probably say alright that was fun!

Can’t for the life of me understand why this wasn’t set in the snow except budget I guess… a lot of creative stuff in here and a good time but just not very much like the game at all.

The best looking film I’ve seen in some time, gorgeous from set design to lots and lots of backlighting and warm tones 🤌🏻

Great performances, great music, great FX but didn’t quite all come together for me personally.

I don’t understand…

This was good, not amazing but good and deep. Sad and deep. 

How is this the most controversial horror film of the year?! 🤦🏻‍♂️

A bit on the slower side but classic Coens through and through

Some creepy moments and overall tone that sticks with you but some really bad dialogue, logic missteps for characters, and a cool mystery that ends up shooting itself in the foot by the end. 

Also some really sloppy storytelling that makes you audibly grown when you realize you have to sit through the same scenes multiple times. 

Could end up being a 2/5 in time but for now it’s a 2 1/2

Sufficiently creepy and unique with very strong performances which is definitely not typical of found footage films. 

Story elements and scares fell apart a but at the end but for now it’s a 4/5 for me. Could go down to a 3 1/2 with time.

Amazing incredible filmmaking! Top notch insane levels of acting considering these are single takes… absurd! 4 stars for that alone. 

Unfortunately felt a bit undercooked and light in its themes and messages. Really wanted more from it.

What a surprise! But also could have been soo much better with a bit better cinematography and editing… well and music. 

Joshy does not disappoint though

Super predictable and ridiculous but not necessarily in the good way. 

A lot of wasted potential but I had a decent time

I hate you Tom McCarthy. 

This one was tough for me to watch but an excellent film.

Still don’t understand why this didn’t get more love.

Meh… Really enjoy Sophie Thatcher but that’s about it. Everything else was very middle of the road. Not sure why this one was so hyped. 

Definitely a film that had much greater potential.

Love to stumble upon these hidden gems

Another very decent movie, not great but not bad. 

Some stupid writing and contrivances aside.

Wayyyyy too many years of hype for this one unfortunately did it in. If I had seen this years ago, I think it would have worked much better. 

The writing is just a bit weak and the ending doesn’t pack anywhere near the punch you expect it to.

Honestly way better than I had expected, competently directed and entertaining. Some very ridiculous writing tropes that you have to ignore unfortunately. 

Also expected more out of the ending but overall enjoyed this one.

Some great elements here but after all these years I can’t help but be very angry at Woody Harrelson's character.

Watched on Tuesday March 4, 2025.

Not my favorite Coen Brothers film… we’ll have to see if it grows on me in time. 

Additional half star for Jeff Bridges

Terrible in so many ways. Cannot believe Nick Frost wrote this. 

I only powered through and finished it because of Nick Frost.

Watched on Saturday February 22, 2025.

Much better than I had anticipated but at the same time meaningless and holds no real weight in the Marvel Universe.

Movies like this hit so different now that I’m a dad

Watched on Sunday February 9, 2025.

So much wasted potential. 

Couldn’t steal from Scream more without having Ghostface in it yet still misses what made Scream work and all the copycats not.

What an ambitious film, watching for the second time I can’t help but think about the insane production of this movie.

Love these types of movies, this one had me genuinely unsure of where it was going for a while.

Could have been something decent but too nonsensical and illogical with mixed messages.

My PERSONAL top 100 Favorite Films based on many many things and ALWAYS changing!!! The ability to watch over and over holds a lot of weight on this list.

This is NOT a list of what I think are the top 100 films ever made. 

Also Ranking this many great films is sooo hard to do!

1. Forgetting Sarah Marshall

   I didn't even like this movie that much in theaters.

   Now I absolutely love it, I've seen it soo many times. This is one of my feel good films, I can pretty much throw it on whenever and have a better day. The Unrated Cut is best. I relate to Jason Segels Character so much and I love how much of himself he put into it.

2. Halloween

   The Greatest Horror Film Of All Time.

   This film gave me something more than just entertainment, it gave me the love of cinema and the inspiration to make films myself.

3. Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol
4. I Love You, Man

   I can distinctly laughing so hard I couldn't breathe in theaters ONLY TWICE in my life and it was during I Love You Man and Superbad. This is another film I can watch over and over and over again. Jason Segel and Paul Rudd are amazing and endlessly quotable. On top of everything else this film also has a fantastic soundtrack.

5. It's a Wonderful Life
6. Home Alone
7. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
8. Scream 2

   Holds a special place in my heart because not only did I actually see this one first but, this is the film that first made me understand that Horror could be intense but also insanely entertaining and fun!

   There is no experience quite like grabbing this VHS Cover at the rental store and having absolutely no idea what I was in for.

9. Hot Fuzz

   The only movie to this day that I watching for the very first time, getting to the credits, and starting it over. I never thought this would live up to Shaun Of The Dead but then it blew me away.
