Happy Friday HMF

8 more hours and I'm free

One more day and I can fuck'n sleep in again!

I get to leave work at 2 to go to some girls going away party from work but I have to stay there until 3:30. It's at a bar so I can call this a win.

Don't drink and drive at the same time.

Four movies planned for the day. Two of them are shorter, so I should be good fitting them in before midnight.

Did you get to the Black Sleep yet?

I did indeed. Ended up giving it a 7.5/10.

Pretty decent movie with a solid cast (and I do mean solid), I think the biggest downside was that while it seemed at times to feel like a pre-Hammer movie, much of it felt like a throwback to 30's and 40's horror. Not necessarily a bad thing, but from 1956, I was hoping for something a bit more forward-thinking.

On a side-note, I apologize for not recently posting any of my reviews here. I should probably get back to that at some point.

Everything you say is true I thought Basil Rathbone's work was exceptional in it so I graded it higher

He is damn well in that film, no doubt.

Flying home tomorrow for the holidays.

Started The Strangers: Prey at Night (other movie that I thought was from 2018 turned out to be from 2016).

Not really expecting to like this one (I've heard mixed reviews), but at least Bailee Madison has the Kiara Glasco-feel to her, so that's a positive.

It's okay. The second half is better than the first half. That's definitely a plus. When it's in the opposite direction, it's a bummer.

I'll be honest, I sort of liked the vibe of the first half - about at the half-way mark now. If this is true, then this may be a dark horse contender for one of this year's better horror flicks (at least based off the few I've seen).

One thing I really appreciate about this is how it's not just limited to the house and immediate grounds - it's a whole camp-site. I feel it adds something that the original didn't have.

The tone in the first half was fine, it's the lack of content, imo.

Was gonna see The Mule tonight if I had the day off tomorrow. But of course... I don't... Fucking bull shit. One day off a week is not gonna cut it.
