Insidious fell apart for me in the third act and I didn't like how the sequel followed in that direction, I think I would've enjoyed it more had it been kinda goofy from the word go.

Horns was one of those weird movies where I felt like it was only half an hour long when I finished it. Plus it's obvious who killed his wife but I think in the book there are chapters from his perspective so it's no surprise there either.

People actually liked Insidious? what

it seems fairly popular around here. i was even more soured on it because i went to bed after all the scary stuff then watched the stupid goofy half the next day.

It's extremely good. There's nothing in the first half that doesn't set up the second half, there's no grim, realistic tone that it abandons.

nah sorry even if you liked the movie the two parts are totally different. at least the sequels are consistent with the second half.

i think i'd have no problem if it was like that throughout but the first half is unnerving (even with a little boy ghost dancing to Tiny Tim) and the second half just gets a little goofy/cheesy.

and there are movies about ghosts that are scary and not goofy at all!

it isn't goofy due to context. the devil is goofy even in context.

I caught It Follows finally for my birthday, and my wife and I really enjoyed it. She had trouble sleeping that night. To me, it was very creepy, and I felt like something was going to happen at any time. The only downside was that it comes off as one of those heavy metaphor movies where what's happening isn't exactly about what's happening but what's it's supposed to represent.

i just watched it follows and it rules.

Definitely recommend it. The soundtrack may be my favorite thing about it.

this obnoxiously nerdy guy i work with (the kind of dude who fills his cubes with those big headed dolls of batman and other comic book things) talked about how it was terrible after he saw it and i knew it was gonna be good cuz he's the type of guy that thinks horror is all blood and guts and poo poo.

to me the terror of the scene is the guy seeing what happens and knowing what's to befall him and having no escape.

that's fairly obvious from the trailer.

key and peele was probably the best sketch show ever so i think i'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Basically white people want to enslave black people. I don't think racism today has anything to do with that and more about class divide in some states.

why do you think such a class divide exists.
