When in doubt, default to movie talk. Good with numbers, but would rather write. Pittsburgh Pirates Fan.

I just appreciate that my algorithm seems to understand the assignment and the only way I know about it is other people's skeets.

Defintely different than my first thought hearing the plot, where I assumed it was like those Hallmark "Signed Sealed Delivered" movies taking a horror twist where the investigation goes sideways. Much, much more going on.

I was talking to a coworker about this movie the other day, because I brought up how they got Ben Kingsley because he said he'd never played a vampire before and was happy to be offered a vampire role. Oh, that and the "They got real prostitutes for that scene with Meatloaf because it was cheaper."

I enjoy how they always manage to have the whitest shirts possible when doing this.

Would a Terminator Cat have to be one of those hairless cats? Just sprouting new fur to blend in at bodegas while searching for Sarah Connor?

I like the movie. Some Prime Roger Corman stuff on the name change but a John Carl Buechler designed monster is always fun.

I watched when it first came out and my main memory is just visuals, like Leatherface standing up amid all those sunflowers and the "Try something and you're cancelled" line that felt like a note from 50+ year old producer grumbling cause he couldn't talk to his secretary the same way anymore.

This movie was the first time I realized that Clint Eastwood had a son when I chuckled at the deputy pulling out his phone for extra light & looked up who was playing him. People complained about "do you thing, cuz" but my sticking point was who leaves a hitchhiker/stranger alone in their new home?!

Hellraiser: Bloodlines may not be a good movie (perhaps a Top 5 Alan Smithee film, though?), but I've always enjoyed conversation on it (like the Best Movies Never Made episode with Peter Atkins). Plus, babyfaced Adam Scott!

I hope MJ Bassett can get this one over the finish line without too much interference. I always felt bad for how Solomon Kane went for her.

I remember laughing like an idiot when I saw the Cthulhu-suit surrounded by those tiny miniatures. There is always something fun about a dude in a monster suit. It felt like a 1960s giant [whatever] movie arriving back in society. A welcome shot in the arm in a very 'giving it all they got' 3rd act.

I remember liking Blood Wings, even if it felt different from the original. It's a more streamlined attempt to get the character into direct-to-video town that didn't really work out.

I appreciate his full force energy. Dude is just pure hype out there.

More of a "Nahhh-tional Trea-Sure?"

I feel like I do that every single time I visit the site despite the fact it should be irritated muscle memory at this point.

George and those square pigs really do help set the stage for that film.

I remember watching 3 and 4 out of order because I assumed The Awakening was 3. Think you'll try the syfy channel species-equivalent Decoys next?

Man, Ed O'Neill wanted to play a cop so badly, but everyone always did the Leonardo DiCaprio point and shouted "AL BUNDY, HAHAHA" when he showed up on screen (he said, assuming the second picture was the 2000s reboot and not some other thing that was Dragnet related).

Amityville Tron. The technician hooking up internet in the house gets pulled into it and has to stop the house from uploading its evil to the world wide web. It makes no sense, but you've seen enough of these to know that doesn't matter.

Deep Rising deserved a sequel.

It feels like they filmed the outline instead of figuring out the actual story. The bones are there, but they're bare and not even dancing in animated form.

The buffoonery? I can tolerate it.

Haha. I actually wrote an Amityville script titled "Amityville Sluggers" where the house gets torn down and the wood from it converted into baseball bats that turn children into possessed killers (I'm very Amityville 4,5,6 inspired) but I've been tinkering with other ideas.

The title and poster makes me hope it's an Assault on Precinct 13 knock-off where a gang is attacking people hiding in the Amityville house and the haunted house is the one fighting back.
