Immaculate just wasn't very good. Big budget mediocrity. I have The First Omen sitting on the bluray shelf waiting to be seen, but I'm not sure if I should rewatch the entire franchise beforehand or not.
oh... is that the sydney sweeney curse?

i might watch the original omen before the first. i haven't decided either.

I guess. Lol. I don't think I've ever seen her in anything except Immaculate unless I'm blanking.

I'm just not sure how much The First Omen ties into all of them.

Annnd from where I am now sitting in the movie, that has officially become a mass understatement.

Holy fuck.

I would rather watch my cat take a shit than eat the litter box pan and all, than ever watch this again. Can one kill keep this out of the D grades? I'm thinking on it

Going with a comfort viewing in Hostel (2005). Might be the last movie of the day, as I hope to talk to a friend later tonight if he's online.

In A Violent Nature gets a D+ because there was one minute of enjoyment in this boring turd. Might win best kill for this Challenge but this movie is awful

immaculate didn't make a whole lot of sense. it feels like they cut things out that would have helped to make sense of it. and just left it as scenes for sake of shock value with not much explanation or motive. oh well.

That bait-and-switch in Hostel still impresses me. Paxton makes for such an interesting protagonist.
