Ahahahahaha, I blind bought it when it came out. It's so lackluster. Not that I thought Diary Of The Dead was "great" but its still a huge drop from that one.

A massive peeve for me in modern movies, especially modern horror, is when the sound department keeps dialogue at whisper level, making me have to crank the volume just to hear them mumble. I already know by experience they're going to have giant boom sounds that'll rumble my walls and annoy neighbors because of the cranked volume. Hereditary is filled with whisper volume dialogue...

Toni Colette is a force in this movie. Would not be surprised if she barrels through the Oscars this year.

Hereditary is the best I've watched this challenge so far. Not perfect, could've used some editing to trim up that runtime, but pretty damn good.

Assuming this link works and the video loads okay, I'll be watching Deep Red for the second time in my life. Found a nice subtitled version, seems decent video quality, so hopefully this bad boy (which is two hours and six minutes) will be as good as I recall it being.

Brian Cox and a constant nice nude body always helps things, for sure, but I liked the story and suspense and all those auxiliary things too.
Was that your first movie for the Challenge?
New one. I started it off right with NOES and Evil Dead the night prior.

I see you watched You Might Be the Killer (2018), Reign. I taped that off Sy-Fy, though I've not gotten to it yet. Sort of a shame you gave it such a low rating. I never expect that much from Sy-Fy, but a D?

Oh boy, that should be fun. :P

I'm not usually a fan of drowning kills in horror, but being drowned in a tub of scalding hot water was a pretty solid scene.

Winter ain't all that. Katie Sagal is still hotter than either of them.
