I recently read Dead Moon by Peter Clines, and it’s one of my favorite novels ever. It’s set in the future when the moon is used as a cemetery, and something happens that makes all the dead rise from the grave and attack the settlement there. It has an amazing b-movie feel.
I realize the cool thing is to ignorantly shit on Mindy Kaling for her involvement in that show and use it as an excuse to insist she’s talentless, but you do realize she was just an actor on Velma? No writing or directing credits. So does she really deserve to lose all goodwill from the office just because of that? Or are you just continuing the circlejerk?
They didn’t even get through an entire movie without ruining that mystique. It wasn’t very “unstoppable and inevitable” when it was just standing on the roof of a house, or when it just grabbed that girl by the hair but failed to do any damage.
I'm honestly surprised at the audience praise, but I'm not at all knowledgable about the lore. I have fairly low standards for horror, especially around Halloween, and my expectations for this were really low: all I wanted was a guy working as a night shift security guard seeing a lot of spooky stuff. After the early sequence with the throw-away characters, I felt like there really just wasn't any horror. Once there was a threat, it was fairly immediately dispatched.
I don't mean to be a downer for anyone who enjoyed it, I just loved the idea and really wish I had liked it.
Since leaving Reddit I’m having a lot of trouble keeping up with what movies are releasing, I randomly heard about this one and now I can’t wait to see if. And the new Exorcist movie.
If you go to the magazine’s sidebar there’s a block button. On kbin and the lemmy web browser it’s by the subscribe button on the sidebar, on Memmy you have to hit the 3 dots on the top right of the magazine’s feed page. On Mlem…. I haven’t figured it out yet.
I'm super into seasonal horror, and I'm constantly watching movies based on the time of year.
For summer I like slashers too, and really any 80s movies. It's also when I like to watch the dumb teen horror.

Prom night,
Prom night 2,
Death Spa,
Return of the Living Dead,
CHUD,
Slumber Party Massacre,
Slumber Party Massacre 2,
Night of the Demons,

Summer movies (other):
Summer of ‘84,
Truth or dare,
Wish upon,
