I'm 24 movies away from getting to 100 movies. Gotta average about three a day. It's 50/50 at this point. I'm only one movie deep today (Village of the Dumb)

I've forgone sleep a few times and got up super early to fit an extra several movies in and the last few days I've slept in cause I have a cold of some sort. And just haven't really been popping movies in like candy.

Reign in Blood wrote: Wed Oct 23, 2024 7:33 am And I am dubbing Friday the 13th the Dan Marino of horror series, it doesn't have any entries that can crack a top 10 list. A lot of the other franchises do, to Phantasm and one could even argue newer stuff like Saw, but sorry mongoloid, just didn't get it.
All F13 films are enjoyable, can't say the same for NOES. Anything past Dream Warriors will put me to sleep.
This would be my take also
I can't think of a single thing enjoyable about Jason Goes to Hell other than Freddy's two second cameo, and fuckall in Jason X. At least Freddy uses a damn Power Glove in Freddy's Dead. "I got my high score" :lol:
Good nudity & gore (not the actual Jason FX, but the gore FX were good).

That's about it.

I've never seen this movie, but I get Society (1989) vibes just by the cover art and stuff. Is that accurate at all?
