i've heard bad things. is it worth watching?
It's a serious drop in quality from the first. I was so disappointed I believe this is my first rewatch since I saw it in theaters. At most 3rd time watching
well that is similar to everything else i've heard. that bites.
To be fair, the adult portion in the book was never as good as the kid half either, so with those lower expectations, it shouldn't be as much of a disappointment lol. I like it, but definitely drop from the 1st. I love the first.
i never read the book... :-[
Tracks with the OG miniseries too, lol.
Lots wrong with Chapter 2 but Bill Hader is exceptional as adult Ritchie

Not sure how they got Barbara Crampton and Heather Langenkamp to cameo in this.

He is excellent. The rushed CGI work is laughably bad though, particularly the fire-head scene lol.

Though not as bad as Andy's awful CGI in his Flash movie. That is now legendarily bad.

Turns out it was written and directed by Rob Zombie's brother(and apparently the singer for Powerman 5000). Could be why it was ass.

V/H/S/Beyond is alright. I like the first story/footage the most by far, and it was a steady downhill from there.

Watching Snowbeast (1977), which I've probably not seen in at least eight years. Completely forgot Sylvia Sidney was here, but what amazes me is that she looked almost the exact same here as in Beetlejuice. I guess Beetlejuice is only 11 years later, but still, caught me by surprise.
For my thoughts on the horror films I've seen, please look here: https://jigsawshorrorcorner.wordpress.com/

Good crap. I have to put on some regular comfort movies for a bit. Just been two weird ones in a row.
Glad I didn't give up on Good Boy. It's weird but I have to say the lead character really did creep me out.
What Lies Below...entertaining for Tubi fluff!
