Also, the "re-" prefix is a real thing and has a definition.

None of that definition involves deep recollection of doing it before.

if you think you haven't watched it before, then count the movie. if it turns out, while watching, that you do recall seeing it before, then unbold it. seems a good rule to me.

I know it's 1992, but it bugs me that the survivor girl has the 1987 mushroom perm. (as seen in Creepshow 2/Hitchhiker)

While we're all on the subject of "movie counting", can we all admit that having to rewatch horror shorts multiple times, or like 9 minutes of it, to get the 60 minute viewing is goofy as fuck? :p

It is. It's also why I'll choose to limit myself the shorter ones because of that.

Then there's really no problem, just massive confusion with "might have watched" thrown in there :P

Hey, Del Toro used a stock woman scream, lulz.

Probably not the same stock one Jason was complaining about earlier, but I recognized it.

This feels like a really heavy orphanage drama. I know there were a couple scenes that could be spooky, but they were extremely minor. It better pickup.

I am watching The Hearse from 1980 now. Maybe because I cannot focus on one movie at a time, this one is ok, but seems a little slow at times. I have 30 minutes left of it, and I already wish it was over.

Been there, but it's worse if it's awful. You wish to shut off, but ya gotta sit through it to count, lol.
