Still not a bad showing for Rawhead Rex, though. Curious as to whether a movie will best When Evil Lurks or not (which I've not seen yet, on a side-note).

Deliciously and devastatingly fucked up. Squeeze it in before the end of the challenge.

so there was a murder scene but if not for nudity involved, it could have fit right into a made for tv movie. which is made more disappointing because of the nudity. :P
sister of ursula is definitely porn first. i almost don't feel like it qualifies, but there were a couple of lame murder scenes so i'll include it.

The lack of respect for OG IT sickens and disgusts. I shouldn't have Jiggy as my biggest corner man, god damnit.

The funny thing is, I give the mini-series a below average rating of 6.5/10, so Tigg's rating might be higher. :P

If I had Shudder, I probably would. For now, I'm just concerned about making the 85 I already had planned.

If that rating holds true after marathon, Jig is getting stripped of all towels, tell you that.

God, Sting from 2015?

I saw that once. Solid first half, but wanted to die during the second.

For those of you with streaming services, I am curious, in Freddy vs. Jason, when Kia calls Freddy a faggot for wearing a Christmas sweater, is it still in the movie or did they take it out? :P

The Rental was okay. Focused far too much on the lust-triangle/cheating than the creepy stalker/footage guy.

Tarot was tame, and the pace was far too quick. Like the new Salem's Lot quick where they are spending no time breathing or getting the characters developed - the bulk of the cast was no where near as likeable as they thought they were (I like Paxton though, but I find the actor a natural). Cool idea, but could've been a lot better.
