DomD, there is no way Nightmare's 2-4 rank the same grade. I dig high praise in general and such, but something has to give.

The new Children of the Corn wasn't as bad as expected. It was better than some of the shitty 90's sequels.Not that that is saying much.

Most of my grades are based on the ranges the movies tend to fall on my flickchart list. It is ballparked, mostly, but since those specific sequels are in close proximity of my flickchart, and all are in my "A-" range, they're all getting an A-.

Oh shit, I misremembered part 4's placement, apparently. It's been a while since I looked at that franchise on my flickchart, I guess. The grades are getting an update.

Its official, my official head-casting for my new D&D character Phantasma is late 80's Jennifer Connely. So it is written, so it is done.

Looking at your tally. Noticed Terrifier 2 is graded higher than Creepshow II. You'd consider Terrifier 2 superior?

Still haven't seen Terrifier yet.

I think its overall better yes. I did love Terrifier 2 quite a bit. Doesn't quite have that cherry on top to give it the "+", but who knows in 10 years?

Just finished The Killing of a Sacred Deer. What in the absolute fuck did I just watch? Overly bizarre, monotonous, Greek mythological flick that falls completely flat and almost feels like it's intentionally trying to piss off everyone that watches it. I thought I didn't understand the movie and missed something important but after looking up the meaning I missed nothing. Easily the worst movie of the challenge and one of the worst movies I've ever seen. How in the hell this movie got a 7/10 on imdb and a 79% on retardedtomatoes is beyond me.

0.5/5 and that's being generous.

Is Killing of a Sacred Deer horror? I don't know anything about it, but the title reeks of other sappy titles like Where The Crawdads sing and shit.

I see that Barry Keoghan is in it, the guy with a worse Joker laugh than Leto.
