Re: September 15th, 2019
I'll certainly watch it, and IMDb labels it horror so I'm inclined to count it for October, but it seems borderline.

Re: September 15th, 2019
My main concern are the Alien sequels. I know the second doesn't count, but I've not seen the third or fourth, so if those count, I should be golden to finish the main series.

Re: September 15th, 2019
The only iffy one to me is Alien Resurrection, as it takes the sci fi action of Aliens, and drops any of the leftover horror that Aliens had lingering in it. Of those original 4, it's the least Horror.
But maybe because it's so damn goofy, any potential for horror got turned into campy comedy. *shrug*
Alien Resurrection's pretty bad

Alien 3 definitely goes back to the more horror root the original had. It's not as good, as it's production mess is legendary and even Fincher disowns the movie due to all the studio meddling, but it definitely has strong effort for horror.

The Fourth Kind is horror, bitch. Unless you're talking about ace horror. Which it is not.Reign in Blood wrote:Don't think I have a problem with any of those except the 4th kind, but whatevs.

I'm personally not really looking forward to the movie, but as long as it's counted as horror, I'll keep it on my radar.Jason wrote:The Fourth Kind is horror, bitch.

If anyone feels strongly about any of those movies not being horror, just let me know, and thanks to all those who answered.
