This weekend we watched …
Arachnophobia: Holds up, surprisingly! Good old Jeff Daniels and John Goodman!
Dawn of the Dead 2004: Simply not a good film, but also not Zack Snyder’s worst film. Still — decidedly not good, in, like, a bunch of ways. Shit acting, shit effects, dumb and super-high-contrast-early-2000s lookin’, green and orange hues all over the place. Anyway, bad but not the worst (aka shit but not diarrhea)
Hellraiser 2022: Wow, really surprisingly well done but also … I think I’m getting too old for proper *horror*-horror. Parts of it were just really upsetting and hard to watch. I imagine I’d feel the same way upon a rewatch of the original Hellraiser or Hellraiser II. It’s just not really in me anymore.
I think at this point I vastly prefer horror movies that either work as human dramas irrespective of horror elements (Let The Right One In, The VVitch), or dumb but knowingly so horror-action films that contain plenty of humor — movies that are fun and not completely disheartening, when there’s someone to root for (for example, Ready or Not was a good old time)
