V/H/S
★★★★ Liked Rewatched

Rewatch. The one that started it all and it’s by far the best. Some genuinely creepy moments. Second Honeymoon stands out and really creeps me out. The entire film is an interesting exploration of relationships and the dark side of our relationships whether friends or lovers.

Backrooms
★★★★ Liked Watched

I really enjoyed this. The third act lost me a bit but overall I thought this was thought interesting, innovative, and creepy. I went in only having seen the first of the original YouTube videos. So I know very little lore but now I want to know so much more. The director has a bright future ahead and I can’t wait for their next project. More movies like this please.

The Field Guide to Evil
★★★ Watched

There’s some great shorts in here and there’s some bad ones, and then there’s also the just plain weird. The best ones are:

-The Sinful Woman of Hallenfrez
-The Palace of Horrors
-Cobbler’s Lot
