Default What Films Have You Seen Recently?

House of the Devil-took that long to get going that by the time something actually happened, I'd lost interest, maybe I need to watch it again.
To be fair, I haven't liked anything Ti West has done so far, so I went in already assuming I wouldn't enjoy this, despite the good reviews I'd read online.

2 1/2 out of 5

It's a very slow burn but I really enjoy the tension of the unknown.
Demoncrat and keirarts like this.

For me, it didn't build enough tension. I may give it another shot, but I'm in no great rush to do so

You don't - it's dull.

I haven't enjoyed any of his films thus far either. I haven't seen The Sacrament though.

I've seen House of the Devil, The Innkeepers and The Sacrament. Like them all but The Sacrament in particular i thought was excellent. I'd say The Innkeepers is probably the weakest, mainly because it can't seem to make up its mind whether its a straight horror or a comedy.

Has no one else seen West's first film, The Roost?

Vampire bats in an old barn. I like it but it's shot in the pitch black for long periods.

Watched Airplane II (Ted Finkleman, 1982)
Rougher in content than the first imo. Shatner still the best thing in it.

A cheesy satanic double-feature for me over the past couple of nights:

Satan's School for Girls (1973)





53/100


Satan's Cheerleaders (1977)





44/100
