Okay. Screw you IMDB. You listed Timecrimes as horror. I don't regret watching it, because the story was a blast. Technically it did have a killer in it who was bandaged/masked so I'm counting it.

If you're talking about the Spanish flick, I watched that last year and had zero qualms about counting it as horror. A nice little horror/science fiction hybrid. I wish it packed more of a punch, though.

Oh yeah, I definitely didn't see this one.
I only remember one thing about that movie, and you can probably guess that those are. ;) :lol:

About to watch Split (2016) for the first time. Have to admit, the plot sounds a bit much (seriously, 23 distinct personalities - isn't that pushing it?), but I know a lot of people liked it, so hopefully it'll turn out okay.

Better than I remember.
So curious as to what you didn't like in it before...

I last saw it in high school so it had been a while. I just remember being disappointed. It seemed like a big step down from the first two. Haven't given it much thought since until I came across it on youtube. Glad I did.

WOOT! Now I don't feel so bad. Yeah, I am in agreement. Maybe a more snazzy ending. I felt like he finally realized what he had to do at the end though. I was so hooked on the Hector 1vs Hector2 vs Hector 3. :P

This is pretty bad. I'm really looking forward to The Horror of Dracula. I've never seen the Hammer series.

Not that I'm a big fan of a man bun, but the super tiny man buns are the worst. They look like they are hiding a lipoma on their scalp.
I only know the word lipoma because of the Dr. Pimple popper show. It's like a car accident. I have to look. :oops:

Nice. Refreshing way to do a zombie movie, amirite?
Not without obvious faults but i like the story and the main character was very well acted. Probably a future B but the plus comes from the lead actress.

Only faults I had were the limitations with budget.

I would say that Split is a very solid film, easy top ten from the last five years.

See, I can like and enjoy popular stuff. :D

I see the movie's related to another film called Unbreakable. Haven't seen it, and as it's not horror, I really have no interest to.

Lace Crater...lackluster quirky love story. Giant ball of meh.
Cute ghost though.
