Bad Moon really isn't far from #1 into terms of werewolf movies, in my opinion.

I'm going 9.5 on Bad Moon. It's as good as American Werewolf in London and I ain't afraid to say it.

Possession may have been my least-favorite watch of the whole challenge.

It was probably a good metaphor for something, but enjoyable? Not to me.

It's definitely possible with some of the movies on my line-up. :P

That said, I just didn't know what the hell was going on in Possession - that guy with pink socks at the end meant what? I don't want to tread over my various questions, but like I said, I'm sure it's a good metaphor/allegory for something, but I sure as hell don't know. People that don't act like people, reactions with no context - this just wasn't the movie for someone who can't stand art-house/avant-garde stuff. ;-|

That's actually a good point, and even Chucky (from Fight Evil) was surprised I liked that one. I don't know, maybe the fact it's fun makes up for the experimental elements (though some of them, such as the train sequence, I maintain are quite nice).

I've heard of Titane, I think (a French movie, right?), so I certainly appreciate you warning me. :P

Oh, and I happen to quite enjoy Bad Moon. Haven't seen it since at least 2016, so looking forward to watching that one again when I can.

yeah, it's a french flick. her first movie, raw, is much better in my opinion. but probably also not for you.

Still haven't seen Raw. It's one of those movies I probably will see at one point, but that point's not now. :P
