Scary Stories (from a Dark Allie)

I was hoping I’d like this one a bit more than I actually did. It’s a high three stars, but just not quite four stars.

I was a bit surprised how much I liked this movie. Maybe it’s because it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Elisha Cuthbert in anything, and it was somewhat disorienting to have her play the “mom of a teenager” as opposed to practically being the teenager herself. Am I feeling old??

I…am surprised by how much I liked this movie? It’s so weird, but it’s short, and it’s fun, despite primarily taking place in a rest stop bathroom?

I had SO MUCH FUN with this movie. Maybe it’s because I watched it with a friend I hadn’t talked to in a while. Maybe it’s because I was just in a mood to watch anything but Halloween. Or maybe it’s because this movie was super fun and entertaining!

Yeah…I have nothing to say about this movie.

I’m sorry, I don’t think I’ll have much to say about this one or tomorrow’s movie, other than I’ll be glad to be finally done with this franchise.

Happy Halloween! I hope you get all the candy you want tonight!

I…kind of knew from the beginning of this movie that it wasn’t going to be my cup of tea. It felt overly artsy for a Halloween movie, and definitely too slow for my liking. But I kept going, particularly because I knew Jamie Lee Curtis was back in this one.

So, I had a lot to say about Rob Zombie’s original Halloween remake, particularly that I quite liked it. This…not so much. But I want to preface this by saying I’ve been in a bit of a mood lately, so it’s totally possible it’s just me?

Okay, this definitely wasn’t as bad as yesterday’s movie. This one is actually a direct sequel to Halloween H20, so we’ve graduated timelines, I guess?

Wow…this was a bad movie. And it has PAUL RUDD in it! And it was still bad.

I don’t have too much to say about this one, except that it feels like “a thing” that when a franchise reaches a certain number of films, it has to have a telepathic child connected with the antagonist somehow?

So I’m finding that on the whole these sequels are better than most of the Friday the 13th sequels, but that doesn’t really make them good. They’re just passable.
