I was ready to trash VHS85 but that movie loving rips. Maybe one kinda eh entry but it’s actually the shortest of the bunch and the way they structured the entire thing felt fresh (I never felt bored or truly like “get this over with please”) just as the whole aesthetic and feel was getting stale. I’m so glad they got rid of the interstitial story of “why are these vhs tapes here or why am I seeing these videos like this” and just wove them altogether. This is kinda the peak form for this series. They really knocked it out of the park on this one. This one honestly kinda overtakes my entire ranking for the number 1 slot.

Def by Temptation is a frustrating movie because it's not great, but you can see seeds of greatness in it. It's a rocky first picture from a promising director, but then it was also his last picture. If James Bond III had kept making horror movies and got a little bit more experienced he easily could have been great. It's especially annoying because the 90s are generally thought of as a bit of a lull in horror, and it's just so easy to see how James Bond III could have filled that gap.

VHS85 is a good one. I'm a bit of a sucker for the series, but this one is definitely better than 99 & Viral.

Speaking of The Omen, I only recently learned that there were Omen 4 & 5 books published in the early 80s, and even an unproduced script for Omen 4 (unrelated to the 1991 TV movie). These concern Damien's son (whose version of "weird unnatural satanic birth" is that he came out of his mother's anus); the 4th ends with nukes flying over the Middle East, and the fifth takes place in a quasi-post apocalypse. Sounds like some crazy poo poo.

As per my post in the challenge thread, I’m such a sucker for Nightmare Sisters. Love the combo of Brinke, Michelle and Linnea again, and there’s just so much to talk about. It’s a T&A movie for sure, but DeCoteau has always seemed such a good dude to the girls in his movies it’s one you can watch without feeling slimy. —- Just finished Totally Killer and so glad it hit the Hot Tub Time Machine But Horror vibes the trailer gave, I really enjoyed it and I’ve heard the usual mob of ‘anti-woke’ complainers are already whining about it which is great. Super fun time!

VHS85: Good, definitely better than 99 and Viral, probably better than 94, but kinda missing a real Safe Haven-level standout and, overall, not scary? The Derrickson short is definitely in his wheelhouse so if you liked the home videos from Sinister you're probably in for a little treat. The overall average of each segment is definitely ok-to-good, only one is kind of a flop, but no Ratmaa moments IMO. As mentioned by dorian the "setup" of the interstitials is easily the best of the series, it feels like someone put real thought into a cohesive experience. Big improvement over 99 though, didn't come away thinking I wasted my evening minus the deadstream-director segment. Stray thoughts: First segment What was the meaning of the lake name? Also a bit disappointed that there wasn't another follow-up from the cult ending, kinda left hanging. Also showing the squirtgun filling felt like they thought the audience was really stupid Second segment Reminded me a bit of The Descent in that the horror of the disaster is way more effective than the monster. Reminded me to do my daily Duolingo thought Third segment Really obvious where this was going at the end but still lacking any reason care, some decent goop but just eh. Last segment the delivery on "let him go" was pretty funny, nice chuckle at the end shot

Zachack posted:Eh, Tron came out in 1982 so I think the "graphics" kinda line up. The tech and theme of the performance seemed way off though, agreed. Now makes me curious how they did the graphics in Tron, whether it was more practical stuff made to look CG or if it was renders - it’s been 30+ years since I tried to watch it so it’s a very vague childhood memory. No chance it was done in realtime though, which this one purportedly was. I’m pretty sure the camera she has on stage is one of those late 90s Canons but I didn’t get a great glimpse at it.

Watched 1985, really enjoyed it. At first I was upset because the first segment just ends and I liked the direction it was going, but then it follows up on it. I'm also glad they seem to have given up on doing an actual framing story, they were usually the weakest part of the V/H/S films. Tron was the first film to make heavy use of CGI.

Ok I know sf can be also horror but IMO Vast is an excellent UFO movie but it doesn't really feel like horror to me It's like a note-perfect adaptation of a short story in an anthology hardcover, published in 1962 with a picture of a dude in a jetpack on the front. The type you'd find on your school library shelves and you'd check it out so often that your parents would talk the librarian into letting you keep it. I, uh, speak from experience there. I've got two of those books!

VHS 85 was underwhelming, the initial concept of emerging directors coming together and put out cool video nasty short features has given way to half baked efforts, I guess looking back at the recent entries it's not that surprising.

Still, I'm looking forward to the next one because these movies are something of a Halloween tradition for me.
