61 Nights of Halloween (2025 Edition)

[DyeLorean]

I haven't finished the new I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot/sequel but it's funny how they wanted to make it like the Scream franchise by having back old survivors with rules ("the killer is usually related to the guy you killed") (??). So far it doesn't make any sense. Anyway, back to work. I'll finish it tonight.

I just realized that I haven't seen a single Uwe Boll motion picture. He has directed several horror films, and the marathon is kicking off in one week, so... Any recommendations?

House of the Dead, Bloodrayne, and Alone in the Dark.

All pain, no gain.

One last weekend to do normal stuff.

Looking at what I've been watching during the last couple of weeks, for all intents and purposes, I've already started the marathon lmao.

I was this close to putting up a decorative pumpkin today, but I'm holding out until Monday.

The last few years I've tried to watch a few franchises in their entirety and this year I'm leaning towards the Alien , Predator, and Final Destination franchises.

Can't wait to hear your opinion!

Weird that Predator probably aged the best. I liked Final Destination, but upon a rewatch the whole Death staging a suicide and framing the protag made no sense.

To be fair, Predator is a perfect movie.

Even the franchise as a whole has more wins than duds. (2 and The Predator).

You think 2 is a dud?

Yes. It's another horror movie monster in Manhattan. I liked parts of it, but not on the whole.

The Predator doing surgery while Danny Glover climbs down the poll to whoop his ass in the background is a top 10 film scene of the 90s!

Correction this one is LA, but still...

Danny Glover is the best part along with the scene in the cold room.

Together is somehow still playing in my theater so might as well kick off the season with that one.

I'm going on Tuesday, but it did open here just yesterday. I get to see it on a huuuuge screen, which should be fun.

The Predator talk is making me excited to actually see the movie. While I've seen first movie or two from most franchises, the only Predator related movie I've seen is probably Alien Vs. Predator like a decade ago.

I really enjoyed 2, and I would personally rate The Predator above Predators. I know, it's not a popular opinion, but I kind of hate Predators

Predator is an all timer. The Predator really splits opinions. Also amazing for that to be your only Predator knowledge. I love it.

 

[Drizzle]

Predator is also maybe the only Arnold movie where he isn't the main attraction in it. Like yeah, he's on the poster and his name is above the title but we all know who the REAL star of that movie is.

Did you mean Predators? Because THE Predator has...uhhh...a fairly strong consensus.

(goddamn horror trend of tacking on THE to the title. Almost as bad as requels that are just the original's title)

Girl, you crazy. 2 slaps *because* it's a goofy horror monster movie in Manhattan. Danny Glover chasing that damn thing around is peak 90s awesome.

 

[Sithborg]

Also, its set in LA. And definitely a white guys vision of LA.

OK I finished it. It does make some kind of sense... but it's a stupid kind of sense. They made some terrible choices here.
The thing that ultimately hurts this movie is the lack of interesting set pieces and locations. If there's one thing the first two movies had was a great sense of location, atmosphere and geography. This one lacks all of that. It might be a small nitpick but that's what I love about the original two.
