Frumpy 30 year old sorority girls vs the black magic (magic of color?) wielding patriarchy! Woke feminist horror with a PG 13 rating so you know it's gonna be super scary.
From the back of the dvd:
From the producer of Get Out and Halloween, comes a timely take on a cult horror classic as a campus killer comes to face a formidable group of friends in sisterhood. Hawthorne College is quieting down for the holidays. But as Riley Stone and her Mu Kappa Epsilon sisters prepare to deck the halls with a series of seasonal parties, a black-masked stalker begins killing sorority women one by one. As the body count rises, the sisters start to question whether they can trust any man. Whoever the killer is, he’s about to discover that this generation’s young women aren’t about to be anybody’s victims.
Needless to say, stick to the original 1974 version:
If you're a fan of the Paranormal Activity franchise then you should check out the latest one that released last weekend. You can stream it on Paramount+.
IMO it's one of the better ones of the franchise and wraps up the story nice and neat. It fills in some of the blanks that the earlier movies left as cliffhangers. [Reply]

You've still gotta explain this one to me. I didn't see much connection to the other installments.
In Ghost Dimension, Toby was finally able to possess a real body, but that happened in like 2014 or something.
Spoiler!
Next of Kin takes place in 2021. We know that demon is named Asmodeus and the Beiler community has been using women of a certain bloodline to trap the demon inside them for 200 years.
Based on everything we saw in Next of Kin, Asmodeus had been trapped in the main character's mom for at least the past 20 years or so. Assuming that's the case, how would it be possible that Asmodeus and Tobi are the same demon?
Plus the midwives coven from the originals were a totally separate group from the Beilers. The midwives coven were the bad guys. They were using women, and first born sons, to try to bring Tobi into this world, meanwhile the Beilers had been keeping Asmodeus from having free reign in our world.
Unless I missed a bunch of big things, there really wasn't a connection. [Reply]

I watched Hell House LLC on Amazon Prime tonight and I enjoyed it. It's part documentary, part found footage. I was thoroughly creeped out at points. [Reply]

yep - enjoyed each one (I think there was 3?). [Reply]
I watched Wisconsin Death Trip and Exit Humanity last night.
The first is basically a re-enactment of news articles out of the paper in a town from 1890-1900. It really makes you appreciate how much we have and how bad things can be. Horror because this did and can happen.
Exit Humanity is an excellent indie flick with a small cast and the premise: what if a zombie outbreak happened right after the civil war? It's really impressive what they did with a tiny budget and how they got around it. The Sci-fi channel should be hiring directors like this. [Reply]

OK, we watched the second. It definitely came off a little lower budget than the previous. The girlfriend and I both liked it, but agree that the first was probably better.
It's kind of hilarious because these movies have a pretty reliable formula that always creeps me out. The camera pans across the room, everything is the way it is; as it pans back you notice something is off, not the way it was just a second ago. Maybe it's a manakin that was facing away from the camera that's now looking directly at us, or there was a shadow in a corner and now it's gone. Very simple but it gets me every time. [Reply]
