Surprisingly better than I remembered. You can tell there’s a lot of other movies influencing this installment – Army of Darkness goofiness, Return of the Living Dead zombies, Home Alone styled kid.

Everything you could have every wanted to see in a sequel to the original cult classic. I love that it still doesn’t make a lick of sense.

The choose your own adventure gimmick was a clever way to explore the idea of free will, I just wish the overall story was a little more interesting. I think I found the most “Black Mirror” type of ending but who knows. I kind of just ran out of decision...

The flashbacks were good, modern day stuff not so much. I can’t help to think what and 80s era John Carpenter at his prime could have done with a premise like this. That could have been something pretty special.

Much better than I remember it from the first time I saw it back when it was originally released. I still can’t figure out why it’s rated R. Everything seems pretty tame to me.

Still holds up incredibly well after all these years. The Bad Robot restoration is truly amazing, it looks like a movie that released this year.

A bunch of scientists studying the Samara curse could have been such a cool idea. Instead we got this awful movie.

A love letter to comic books as an art form and the lasting power of Spider-Man. This movie is so, so good. I was thrilled, I laughed, I choked up. I can’t wait for more!

Since I’ve watched this movie I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the career trajectories of David Robert Mitchell and Richard Kelly. Both directors followed up their cult indie hits (IT FOLLOWS and DONNIE DARKO) with wildly ambitious tales of Los Angeles. Personally I do not like Southland Tales...

Once in a while a movie like this comes out of nowhere and really impresses me. McDermott was downright creepy. I recommend checking this one out without watching any trailers and if you like stuff like Zodiac.

A shockingly adequate sequel to the horrible original movie. Don’t get me wrong, this was still a pretty bad movie but at least it had a few decent set pieces and it tried to tell an interesting story.

The acting was terrible. The script was terrible. A dreadful waste of time.

Tom Hardy is completely miscast in this movie. I didn’t believe for one second he was some hard boiled investigative reporter. The action scenes were so boring. I have no idea how this movie made $800 million.
