Caught a found footage/mockumentary-style horror movie on Tubi tonight called HORROR IN THE HIGH DESERT, and it's very solid for what it is. It concerns a missing hiker/explorer/vlogger, and the attempts to discover what happened to him. Good production value (beautiful -- and eerie -- scenery), solid character work (the missing hiker is extremely likable), and a legitimately scary final 20 minutes (which is the sort of stuff that found footage fans have seen before, but it's executed really well).

If found footage-type horror is your thing, I recommend it.

I'll give it a go
I love Tubi so much.

It’s weird. Nightmare on Elm Street 1, 3, and 7 are seen as the good movies, 2 is a middle road, and 4, 5, and 6 are seen as failures. I wondered if there was something off with how I watch and pay attention to movies, as I struggled to sit through the first 3 films. But you know what? 4 and 5 weren’t that bad. They had their problems, but honestly I didn’t have a terrible time watching them. Wonder how it will work for the next two Freddy films.

Your personal taste doesn't need to match popular consensus!

I think only FREDDY'S DEAD is truly difficult to sit through. Even 4 and 5, which I don't particularly like, are stylish enough that I find them easy to watch.

Freddy became more goofy and silly in those later ones. Less scary. Less threatening. More clownish.
I don't really like part 2. But nightmare 1 is one of the greatest movies of all time. The acting. The suspense. The pacing. The music. The dreams
Perfect for me in every way. Not just as horror but one of the best directed movies I ever saw.

For anyone that has Shudder I really enjoyed Watcher, it was super creepy and definitely one of the better movies I’ve watched recently on there.

Freddy is definitely comedic in the sequels; but few has highlighted his cruelty there. In the Dream Child, he forces a anorexic to eat her own innards. Freddy’s Dead shows him making fun of someone’s hearing loss and sexually abused background. Not a nice guy he is.

I have problems with Freddy vs Jason and people have questioned its validity in canon, so I’m counting Freddy’s Dead as the last of the originals. The problem with Freddy’s portrayal isn’t that he’s comedic; it’s that his “comedy” consists of pop culture references and one-liners, it doesn’t give the impression of an actual character, just a vessel who speaks. And for what was supposed to be the FINAL nightmare, the creators did not care about trying to make it feel that way.

I utterly HATE the dream demons backstory. What was wrong with just some guy turning into a dream god? The fact that Freddy had bounds was always stupid to me.

It's really stupid, and New Line Cinema basically did the same sort of thing with Jason in JASON GOES TO HELL around the same time, where they invent the new backstory that he was possessed by a gross slug monster that can jump from body to body.

These characters don't need that kind of extra layer of "mythology."

Freddy had only one kill and it confirmed his “intelligence” to be the stupids level. Freddy could have specifically told Jason to kill only a few of them, or just tell him to go away once he started interfering in his town too much. In fighting him directly, it ended up costing him a potential kill spree.

Also Freddy’s Dead established that he is limited to only the town of Springwood and its children; the only way he got out is through the personal link with his daughter. But the teens take Jason back to his camp and Freddy is still able to do his dream work there so it broke continuity.

If anybody here enjoyed X earlier this year, absolutely go see PEARL. Mia Goth gives one of the best performances of the year in any genre.

For anyone looking for another Shudder/AMC+ recommendation I just watched The Dark and the Wicked and it was so good. Overall eerie, unsettling, atmospheric type of movie. I was pleasantly surprised.

Barbarian is a movie you should go in knowing nothing about the movie. The trailer does not give anything away.

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but Fathom Events is doing a Karloff double feature with The Mummy and The Bride of Frankenstein on October 1st @ 1 PM. It seems to be in a decent amount of theaters. Thought I would pass it along for any other monster fans!

I had the thought while watching it that people who enjoyed Malignant will probably like Barbarian. Personally I didn't like either much.

I'm planning on watching Barbarian before Avatar this weekend. I've heard the same thing about going in blind. Looking forward to it.
