Happy you didn't go for Clinton Road - that movie is absolutely atrocious.

It has a 3.3/10 on IMDb, but have a look at the rating distribution.

Ghoul could've been better had they not try to piggy-back on Andre Chikotilo, and just made up their own cannibal ghost.

I dug Lisa Frankenstein. Worried it could've been more My Boyfriend's Back but was pleasantly surprised it was more in line with the demented-humored Tales From The Crypt episodes, so I counted it (it's not like I'm competing to "win" any way lol). An R rating could've made it better though.

After watching, I allow it. I wasn't sure going in. I'm definitely more lenient on this one than I Saw The TV Glow. I kinda want to put an asterisk on that one lol. In fact, I'm gonna.

No need for any unnecessary jump scares while I'm watching a movie. :P
I remembered, but thanks anyway. :P

the scare would have been more in spirit of the season. but i guess a coke to drink is better than a coke to fear.

My Prowler bluray upgrade came in the mail yesterday and I'm so glad it has the same see through cover art as the DVD with the dude hanging in the background all white-eyed. Best moment of the movie imo. Gonna pop that in now.

I can't imagine the pain of being a young man in the military during the World War and receiving a Dear John letter from the chick you first loved. Cuts deep.

The contrast from DVD to bluray has become astronomical for the most part. Prowler bluray looks very good.

I don't think I cared for The Prowler the first time I saw it, but when I last saw it, it clicked hard, and I gave it an 8.5/10.

Don't own it, though, so it's one among hundreds that I should probably pick up.
