Asher what is your strategy or criteria for the movies you’re gonna watch
Great question. It'll be mostly movies I haven't seen before. A mix of the october-themed collections added to the Criterion Channel this month (80s horror, Universal horror, vampires) and movies from this list that I haven't seen: (http://theyshootzombies.com/ghf1000/1-100/). I've only seen about 20 percent of that list
Tonight, I will look at 1981's Road Games hopefully.
I might have to steal that list.

I don't know how I never saw it till tonight but I just watched "Pulse" / Kairo, and was reminded that even with dated CGI, Japanese horror scares me like no other

In the last week I watched Barbarian, You're Next (rewatch) and The Guest. I'm not sure where to go from here. I feel like my Halloween viewing has peaked too early.
I'll be seeing Smile tomorrow night with my parents. Hopefully it holds up to the standard of the others.

Love Kairo, one of my favorite j-horror. The level of sadness in the movie is only comparable to Lake Mungo.
Its almost like a horror movie in the vein of Mullholand Drive. Also, in order to really appreciate the movie you need to have in mind The Passion of Joan of Ark, in the sense that it is sanctification through martyrdom. That´s why the endless succession of scenes of torture to which poor Marilyn is subjected, not unlike being nailed to a cross or burned at the bonfire. Is the sanctification of a pop icon.

"You Are Not My Mother"
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.
No Smile tonight because I have a headache. Tomorrow.
I still think what I did then, it has some interesting ideas but is waaay too OTT campy and unintentionally hilarious for me to enjoy as a whole; and the ridiculously hammy Julia and Frank plot bores me to tears so that Kirsty's (very good) final girl's last fight is an afterthought (she should have led the whole damn movie), not to mention the whole kink angle being something that doesn't interest me
I remain super excited to watch Jamie Clayton's version, and from what I'm hearing it might be more my bag

I ain't a dang horror movie expert, but the trailers for Smile looked awful.
