and then pearl. and then maxxxine. cause you have to watch them all as a series or none of them1 :P
I'll watch those at some point. In fact, I have a list of sequels I need to get to. At last count, there's 132 individual series I need to continue, so X would make that 133.

Actually, because I watched Unnamable 2, it goes back down to 132, but apparently Dr. Satan has a sequel, so it's 133 now. I live a hard life. :P
just one sequel does not a series make! :P but i'll let you live your hard life.
May not be a "series" but it's still a sequel, so it still has a place on my list, as much as I wish I could knock said list down to 80 or so. I actually meant to spend time specifically to watch some horror series throughout 2024 (Silent Night, Deadly Night, Amityville Horror, The Howling, etc.), but maybe if my horror spark is alive again, I could do that next year.

Might be a hot take, but while I thought X was solid, I enjoyed Smile more.

So I just got done with "that scene" that made me hyped enough to buy the movie and it was pretty creepy and suspenseful. Movie is kind of dragging overall though. Never really loved Asian horror but the atmosphere in some of the movies can't be denied.
