Going with Needful Things tonight.
The Stand's age is pretty harsh, but at the time it was a pretty big production for TV. Just warn'n :P

Sinise is still great in it though.
I'll probably dig. I'll just need to set a day to watch it, though. Since it's 6 hours fucking long. Jesus. :p Is it like IT where it's a TV min series but still counts as a movie?

Also, going with Graveyard Shift. Need to be to bed and it's 30 minutes shorter than Needful Things.

I got it 1, 2, 3, Curse, Bride, Seed. I think the 3rd had the perfect amount of humor.
Its humor is perfectly fine. I know production was rushed, but it's not like bad-rushed like NOES5.

Maybe it's Justin Whalin. He does kinda suck. Alex Vincent at least was a kid and could get away with sucking :P
I'd hate NOES 5 a good deal if Lisa Wilcox didn't save that movie. She is an unsung hero of that franchise, tbh.
Yep, she was still good in it. And I like the character growth with her dad.

That's about all I like in it though.

Yep. I've counted it before.

Good luck with Graveyard Shift, lol.

Though...Dourif is pretty damn great in it (because he's basically always great).

Andrew Divoff is in this. Sweet. Only seen him in the first two Wishmaster flicks, I believe.

Metalface opening kill already has someone in the lead for Best Set O TaTa's. Now that I think of it, she's the only set of nekkid titties so far. Still nice though.

I'm watching a shorter one until Alli gets home, not really enough time to fit in Curse of Chucky.

Crazy cutie with an ax going to town on a pretty nice car. This is why I've remained single.

The "stock audio screams" from the cute chicky are pretty cringe. I'm sure at the time that scream wasn't recognizable, but I think every human on the planet today has heard that exact stock scream somewhere at some point.

Not a single likeable character in sight. The weird girl would be okay if she wasn't a stalker.

This main girl has a really great ass. Not much else to say about this though. Lots of nothing going on. Literally nothing.

The Doll effects is much improved here. So far no bad CGI usage (well, aside from a dream sequence). Not finished yet though.

Just watched this on the commute in. Very funky. Also a good slasher “character” as it were. Great use of a mask and a theme. Creepy look for sure. I take issue with the idea that a cap can be that sharp whilst being used as a hat. But overall really funky n

I generally liked Cult of Chucky, but iffy on that ending.


SPOILER
Was not expecting a cliffhanger, and one so...eh. It's like it attempted to be a super-shocker...but went limp wristed with its punch.

Cult of Chucky was better than expected. Just started up Holidays. So far it looks like a combo of Carrie and RZ's Halloween.

Not sure what to make of the second segment. That was pretty mental.
