Only thing mildly interesting in The Haunting of Helena was the raining bloody teeth scene. Sure CGI but it made me smile ear to ear.
The Ranger had decent kills and a fun theme (crazy ranger) but it was wasted when he turns just all wackadoo. I think if they could have just kept him a homicidal mean SOB then it would have been more enjoyable. Keep it simple! Crazy Park Ranger hates campers who litter, or throw their lit cigarette butts... murders everyone in his path...DONE.

Weird, how it's got a 2009 date, but totally looks late 70's.
Amazon is really really bad with years. I am crazy good at getting within a year when guessing when movies came out. It's a totally weird talent I have. Amazon drives me crazy getting that shit wrong. Sometimes I wonder if maybe they go with a recent Blu Ray or DVD release year?
I do think that's what it is. Confuses me with album release dates too, when really they're listing that particular release.
I got confused with Hulu. Only ordered it for this month, so not used to it. They had this Huluween section. Picked out what looked like a movie. Watched Uncanny Annie which was pretty fun (like a horror Jumanji!) only to realize that it is part of some original series (Into the Dark) with episodes made by Blumhouse that are movie length, stand alone, and centered around holidays. Not even sure what to count it as. So I just left it off. Total waste of time though.

Were your four movies the first four Friday the 13th movies?
No, they were not, I just watch movies randomly..I am weird that way.

Agreed. It was alright, but definitely could have been handled better.

Just watched Itsy Bitsy. It was surprisingly good. Most big spider films are just cg shitfests, but this had some good practical effects, and was more about building tension rather than having a large body count.

Damn it. I cannot stand commercials during movies at all. But to slap one on in the middle of a kill scene? Oy...

That campfire tale is probably my second favorite horror movie campfire tale just barely behind Friday the 13th Part 2,

It's all free so I probably shouldn't complain, but it's annoying as hell. Bad enough when it happens mid-sentence.
