now you can watch the american remake to see if it holds up? :P
Is that the one with Kristen Bell? If so I've seen it and I don't remember anything about it except thinking it sucked. :P
lol. i guess it didn't recreate that scene. i don't remember pulse enough to know which you mean, honestly.
This one

I'm thinking about implementing a full decimal point grading system to go for a more accurate ranking than stars or a letter grade. A 6.0 and a 7.2 is a big leap in grading but they translate to a 3 and a 3.5 star rating which doesn't translate the leap in grading.

Two of my new watches were foreign films and they are each my favorite and least favorite so far.

When Evil Lurks hovers somewhere in the high 8s or low 9s.

Late Night with the Devil, Longlegs and possibly Barbarian are all better than Substance for me. Though I also haven't seen a ton from the 2020s. Some glaring oddities brought Substance down kinda hard but it had the most potential besides When Evil Lurks. Nothing Substance could have done to be better than that one, for me.

i don't think i've seen a lot from this half decade yet either. the standouts are x, pearl, and the first omen. off the top of my head. i could come to count late night with the devil among those too. but it's not quite there yet.
