I have no plans this Saturday that I know of, so I'm open to a group watch.

Alright, my tally thread is now updated to yesterday with all 25 entries lined up. So that’s a very good sign I’d say. Now to start something for today

Got what might be a stupid question.

Was planning on watching Mother's Day (2010, with Rebecca De Mornay) at some point, and wanted to confirm it was horror. I've never seen it before, and I know some years ago I feel like I got more a thriller vibe from it. That said, IMDb and Letterboxd list 'horror' as a genre, so wanted to triple-check with you fine folks.

I hear dialogue but never see anyone talking its some weird dubbing paired with some goofy narration. This is a new level of bad for me.

This is way worse than Things and I do believe it is the worst film I've ever seen even with the nudity.
