Doesn't look too bad, I'll have to check it out. Theres definitely a handful of horror movies/thrillers I want to see this year. Some of them are sure to be bad but usually we get one or two solid gems.

I guess there is a new Friday the 13th game out (maybe not new, I don't know), so my son had been bugging me to watch the movies. On Saturday, we marathon'd 1-7.
Man, these movies are worse than I even remember.
4 and 6 are good, the rest meh. I don't even want to continue after 7. He keeps asking, I just pretend I am deaf.

Finally watched Psycho for the first time last night and it lived up to the hype. Only wish I hadn't known all of the twists/major events ahead of time.

I still enjoy F13 movies
Sure they are poorly acted and overall poorly made but I still find fun in them
As you mentioned 4 and 6 are best. Rest are watchable though with parts 7 and parts 8 being weak (I hated 7 more then 8)
Cant stand part 5 ,, Like Halloween 3 I just imagine it doesn't exist
Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X are god awful and unwatchable and remake was lousy. Jason vs Freddy served its purpose and was it appears last gasp of air from either franchise sadly
Maybe its because I grew up watching all these 70's/80's horror movies on VHS from video store and loved them that I can still watch them
Dying Alive
Phil = 2x Champ
I liked The Void.
I'm in the middle of my own version of Shark Week, which I started doing a couple of years ago. So far I've watched 47 Meters Down, Bait, The Reef, the Rifftrax version of The Last Shark, and The Shallows. I still have Deep Blue Sea, Open Water, and Shark Night to go and then I close it out with Jaws.
I've also watched Noroi: The Curse (very good) and Blood Punch (decent) over the last week or so.

Re-watched the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre tonight. Its still not too bad. Jessica Biel tho 
Its still better than the other recent TCM flicks. I wonder how the new one will turn out
Its still better than the other recent TCM flicks. I wonder how the new one will turn outI, too, definitely have a fondness and/or higher tolerance for R-rated 80s movies because of the limited access and watching something that I was underage for. I'd get home from school and immediately bike to one our two close-by VHS rentals, rent an R-rated movie and finish it just before my parents and younger siblings would get home for dinner. I'd then hide the cassette in my room and return it the next day and get another. I still get that thrill that I'm being a little naughty and "grown-up" when I watch an R-rated 80s movie, especially if it's something gory like a Friday the 13th. Some of them may be awful, but I can still enjoy them. It could be all nostalgia or it could be some that and some that R-rated films were more fun in the late 70s to early 90s. It's hard for me to tell. I just know that I can enjoy most from that era, but later R-rated movies, like the later 'Friday' films are, as you said, nearly unwatchable.
What, no Jaws: The Revenge? You could watch it, then Jaws 3D, then Jaws 2, then Jaws and the films would keep getting better and better! In fact, maybe TP should've done that with the Friday the 13th movies.

Hated Babadook. Could have been better. That ****ing little kid was soooo annoying, not even in a good movie way. He was such a brat. Really ruined the movie for me

Finally watched Eden Lake last night. Really good movie but an incredibly upsetting movie to watch. They do a really good job of making you empathize with the protagonists and absolutely despise the antagonists by the end. I found myself hating Brett, the main antagonist, more and more intensely as the movie went on.
Just watched this after reading this post and reading more about the film. I thought it was terrible.

Re-watched Covenant last night. Still enjoyable. Raises more questions than Prometheus but still a solid Alien flick. Glad to see the Xenomorph back, the other versions where cool.
Had a good dose of Sci-Fi, Action and Horror.

Apparently a 50th Anniversary Edition blu-ray of the original "Night of The Living Dead" is being released on October 17th from Mill Creek.

Personally, I'll stick with the much better Japanese blu-ray (which is Region A blu-ray player friendly) release via Happinet until the supposed Criterion release of this comes out who know when. But I figured I'd let you guys know about this in case you want/need it before Halloween, or want it cheap, and/or don't wanna import the Japanese version. Even though the Japanese version is still the definitive blu-ray release of this film...for now.

Oh man, I'd make the argument that it was the best performance by a child actor in any movie I've ever seen. Our opinions couldn't be further apart on this one.
I'm actually looking forward to this. It's going to be a two movie project and they didn't get any input or involvement from Steven King at all. The press on this is really fun to read.
Good flick. They just released an animated prequel to this.
Gonna watch The Belko Experiment here shortly.
seems like just the type I'm into.. Anyone know others like? (Besides Saw )
My fav horror movies are the ones like this where they have to play "games" such as the following :
Circle (2015) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3118452/
Would you rather (2012) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1999995/
