It's a slow-burn (pun somewhat intended), but I enjoyed the hell out of it. Hopefully it does the same for you.

Havok says so, and it was recommended to me, so I'll vote yes.

Girl With All the Gifts, based off havok's review on the radio show months back, sounds odd. I'll probably watch it sometime, but it doesn't sound like the type of film to appeal to me.

Raw, however, does sound pretty fun. I'll probably watch it sometime before 2026 or so.

I have a lot to choose from for first watches, but i'm thinking about going with either Ratline or As Night Falls. There's also quite a few I've saved back for the challenge like Chawz, The Blackface Killer and Night Of The Bums.

Still trying to figure out what I want my first watch to be.

Torn between The Pit (1981), Incubo sulla città contaminata (1980), Get Out (2017), A Cure for Wellness (2016), Southbound (2015) and Dead Silence (2007).

When the clock strikes midnight, I will be watching TCSM and then The Shallows. Burnt Offerings is coming in the mail. Was gonna watch that for the first viewing if it got here in time, but it didn't.

Since I'll be working 11:00 pm tonight to 7:30 am tomorrow morning, and I need some sleep afterward, my first watch (which is looking like it'll be Get Out) won't happen until around 12:30 pm tomorrow. Hoping to get four in tomorrow total.

Is that the 1977 version or the 2006 remake? Either way, decent film to start with.

Yeah, I don't think i'll be able to start anything tonight. I just got back in from Scarefest and i'm on the brink of passing out.

Have fun for those who start at midnight.

I guess since Cult Of Chucky is in fact not uploaded to Netflix yet, I'll have to do something else. Devil's Candy maybe.

Started The Shallows first instead of TCSM. Blake Lively's hotness couldn't wait. Movie is p. crummy up to this point.

1977. Didn’t want to start too modern. Trying to rekindle the flame.

The Shallows

Lucky ass bird, stranded on the rocks with Blake Lively. I would've made a move by now, though.

Would def. have scored her number.
