Was The Gate that Johnny Depp horror film with Frank Langella? I don’t recall that being all that good.

Annoyingly downloaded a Netflix horror but due to rush in the morning forgot my headphones. Commute, ruined. :D

That's The Ninth Gate (1999), which was pretty solid, on a side-note. They're talking about the classic 1987 The Gate.

Next up is The Hitcher (1986)
I refuse to watch the remake. Or even Hitcher 2. No Rutger Hauer, no dice. He really made that movie so great. C Thomas Howell was awful in it.
The movie was completely inspired by the song Riders On The Storm.

Like Jiggy said, we're talking about he 1987 film. With a young Stephen Dorff.

Unlike JIggy said, The Ninth Gate was pretty mediocre from what I remember :P

Unlike what you say, you're wrong. :P

Admittedly, I've only seen The Ninth Gate once, but easily a 10/10 if I've ever seen one. ;)

Starting up the classic from 1956, The Bad Seed. Seen this one plenty of times before. God, the little girl's annoying.

Day off work and woke up at 3:30 am. Ack! (In all honesty I may or may not have had a triple espresso drink before bed :oops: )
Figured it was a good time to start challenge watching!
Just watched Jigsaw (2017) for the first time. Really liked that laser head bit at the end. Ok, I I didn't just like that part, I loved it. ;)

Watching Virus. Unless something special happens in the last 30 minutes, this'll be completely forgettable. Ask me about it tomorrow and I'll tell you it was about some stuff with some people.

So confused. Hulu had the movie Inside. New watch for me.
Started watching it only to realize the year is too new. They remade it? Is this version as good? Is it exactly same? Already 15 minutes in.... BALLS!

Totally. Donald Sutherland suddenly acquired an Irish accent half way through. :lol: Or maybe it was just too subtle to notice earlier. I don't know. Either way, this sucks.

This preggers gal would be a whole lot better off if she was armed. Who makes a cup of tea when scared. Grab a weapon, not earl grey buttmunch!
