I'm sure it was great for its time, but it has been far surpassed many times over the years. Now it's just a slog to sit through.
Repulsion should of been the one to get the hype. Much better film in my opinion. Still haven't seen The Tenant yet

With anyone else but Mia Farrow Rosemary's Baby is a C grade movie. The pacing is heinous. Mia makes it a B grade movie for me, I think she is that good.

I've still not seen Rosemary's Baby, and with each passing year, I grow less and less interested. Maybe by the time I hit 60, I'll take the time out of my precious life to watch it. It just sounds so damn boring.

Updated my list.

I wanted to give kudos to Nightmare Shark. It's not a good movie, but it is much better and more innovative than most Syfy originals I've seen in the last five years. Moderately enjoyable watch.

Well, this challenge has brought me my least favorite Dracula ever...Frank Langella. He made it so painful to sit through. *cringes*

Yeah I never liked his Dracula and couldn't figure why his version was popular.

I don't believe I have seen a current movie (the last three years) that I have actually liked. The one I am watching now, Children of Camp Blood from 2020 is on that list.
I am happy it is a short movie.

He was great as Skeletor, though.

I never paid attention to the gun in this before. While it makes a fun beeping noise, it really does look like the leg of a metal desk with a stapler attached on top.

I know he was just using it to describe them, but meat battery sounds like a fun insult.
Shut up you dumb meat battery! *makes it a goal to use that one day*

Updated my list for the day.

Been watching a lot of rewatches recently. Hoping to get into some more new movies in the coming week.

Started up Andrea Bianchi's Massacre (1989). Only two minutes in, and a prostitute got a hand cut off, and was then decapitated. Good times. :P
