Yeah, Evil Dead Trap takes an odd turn at a certain point, and I think the ending could have been trimmed a bit. Fantastic set-up, though.
And apparently it has two sequels, one of which I never heard about until earlier today.
I've reached that point of the weird turn. Be lying if I said I knew wtf is going on
Very much could use a trim to this ending

40 minutes into Village of the Damned and it is a tad mediocre.

I looked up a few John Carpenter film rankings and this one was nearly unanimously among the bottom of every list.

The first Terminator is definitely horror, but the entire rest of the franchise is not and it makes it hard for me to want to watch it and include it for the challenge. Lol

Same. I also feel like Predator is horror but can't bring myself to call it horror because of all the manliness and action stuff.

If we're doing a top 25 horror list we should get to watching movies that qualify and see how we order them

If we do a top 25 both Terminator and Predator would likely make the list if it qualifies.

I 100% believe Predator is horror, and the fact it was taken from me during that one Challenge still grinds my gears.

Is everybody stoned today? No one, and I mean no one, has ever popped in the Terminator or Predator going "Ohh I want to watch a great horror movie, let's pick that, tee hee". They watch it to see Arnold bash fucking skulls and shoot shit up like it's nobodies business with the machismo. I get this shit with Zombs and Jiggy, but Jason is a complete disappointment in this challenge. Motherfucker never seen Monster Squad and now he wants pop off with this shit.
