The cactus sounds a better choice than Friday the 13th.

Ha, ha you can't fool us. The cactus doesn't count as a purchase.

I never share my cactus!

It has been a while since I saw all the Friday the 13th films, but I don't recall disliking any of them. Even those which are either slightly dull, badly made, or just plain stupid (Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan would check at least two of those boxes) has enough going on to easily pass the time and make it more than watchable.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, but even Jason X is great fun and, even though it isn't the most well-made, is probably (if only for the WTF aspect) the most enjoyable of the series.

Friday the 13th Parts 2 & 4 (The Final Chapter), are not only the best of the franchise, but are two of the very better slashers of the '80s.


Bad Santa 2 (2016)

Just finished watching Pet Sematary, 27 years later and it's still the only film that scares me (same goes for the book)!

I've heard you say something similar before, Rik.

Do you think it's an 'age when you first saw it thing' going on, as i only saw both films for the very first time a few years ago and thought them merely okay.

I saw it for the first time a few weeks back and while it's not necessarily scary the scenes with Louis Creeds Dead son are very eerie and we'll made. As with the book all the dead child stuff really does hit a chord with me.
