SPOILER ALERT “I See You” was just another typical “subvert your expectations” movie. As soon as Hollywood stops making the white, male cop the true evil villain I may actually be surprised by a “twist” ending
I’m so happy you mentioned Lake Mungo and Last Shift! I still think about both to this day, over a year after watching each. Horror movies don’t always stick with me, despite it being my favorite genre, but they were both extremely effective I think.
It's underrated because the ending sucks and this is coming from someone who's a Rob Zombie fan and Loved his other movies especially Halloween 1 & 2 and 31 but explain that mess of ending to me because I really didn't get it !
GREAT list, plus Prime’s 1. Most romantic horror is Spring. 2. Most beautiful horror is The Neon Demon. 3. Most underrated indie horror is Goodnight Mommy.
The Loved Ones has become one of my fave horror movies of all time. The movie is haunting and feels almost like a metaphor for current times. The extremes people will go to if they don't get their way (i.e., cancel culture). And that damn song (Not Pretty Enough) was in my head for weeks!!!
Ohhhhh,yea, I think us chic's actually fell in lust ❤️🔥 with Kurt Russell and his HAIR....loved him,and movie was/is awesome. ***** My big "oh nooooo" with the 2011 THING was,omg; they just had to stick a really cool chic in the lead role,that irks me,but I'll watch most everything that Joel Edgerton is involved with.
I'll give that one another try; love Larry Fessenden( the hubby) actor / director...his first movie from way back is streamable now; called Habit.....awesome shocker; then there the Last Winter with Ron Perlman,and Wendigo with Patricia Clarkson( wow) that slipped by ....all Larry..you'll like them.✌️
Dude please do a video for the Netflix horror series Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House, and The Haunting of Bly Manor. Every horror fan NEEDS to see those.
I've just recently found you and love your lists. Forgive me if I've missed them but three movies I've been hoping would make your lists.... death of Ian stone, Grave Dancers, and Gutterballs. I don't believe these get the recognition they deserve. True gems in every sense of the word.
Thank you for the recommendatuon. I loved this one! So far Wer and Jessabelle have been my favorite horror movies I've never seen for Halloween 🎃. I'm thinking Tubi is where it's at this year
What most don't know about the 2011 "The Thing", is that it is actually a prequel to Carpenter's great movie. I feel it was a very bad idea to not indicate or indicate this with the title.
I watched it a number of months ago and it's one that really sticks with you if you're a real horror fan. I recommend it to anyone I know who enjoys horror movies.
Have a great Halloween people. Be safe. Eat tons of candy. Watch something happy after all these horror movies. Hallmark has Christmas love stories. Star Wars. Star Trek. Uplifting emotions. Have a nice night. 🙏🥰 PS/Thank you for your work.
I watched Afflicted and believe me when i say, there wasnt ONE SINGLE moment in that movie i didnt enjoy! And this is coming from a true horror fan. The acting, the effects, the entire story, what a MASTERPIECE! Thanks mate for recommending this gem! I havent cried on a movie so much as this one!
I am so glad you chose Afflicted! I’ve loved this movie for a long time. It’s a great and unusual vampire flick with lots of action. I’d like to recommend Itsy Bitsy, which is on Shudder, for people who enjoyed Crawl. But this one is about a woman fighting a spider that grow larger and larger. And Burning Bright is in the same vein, only it’s a Tiger in the house…(my mom loves these types of movies!)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen you recommend 'Murder Party' (2007), unless I missed that episode. It's the first full length film by Jeremy Saulnier who went on to make 'Blue Ruin' and 'The Green Room', both of which I believe I have seen you feature. Definitely a great Halloween pick. It's on Prime Video Channels, but you have to rent it (maybe that's why?)
"If you're not opposed to blood and some mild torture, than The Loved Ones is going to be a top shelf pick for you this year." That might be the most incredible sentence I'd heard in a long time.
Oh man. I never heard of Afflicted until I saw it on this list and I was blown away after finishing it. That’s why I came to you my man. I can’t wait to go through all the movies I haven’t seen yet by the time Halloween rolls around. Appreciate you sir. 🙏🏽
Hell House LLC is the first movie in a very long time I didn’t feel too comfortable watching on my own. I really like the second one but the third didn’t match up. Stitches is a great flick, Ross Noble is a very good comedian here in the UK. After watching this video my viewing is set up for tonight! 😁👍🏼
Great list. I have no idea how you have time for this. This was a huge list. Great job! Thanks. You blow away all critics on UA-cam and you have a great personality. Keep it up!
BTW: The Thing 2011 is an excellent movie, if you've seen The Thing 1982 John Carpenter's Classic this movie is a must viewing, it gets the short end of the stick in reviews because it has the same exact name which was obviously a marketing mistake because it's constantly reviewed as a comparison to John Carpenter's classic and this movie is a prequel to that movie, to this day 10 years after it's release, many people who have not seen it or refuse to see it still think this movie was a remake of John Carpenter's Storyline, this movie has a completely different story it's the prequel to the John Carpenter Movie Storyline, this story is the perspective of the Norwegian base scientists and workers that discovered the spacecraft buried in the ice and made the unfortunate mistake of bringing the frozen lifeform to their base
If you like Tarantino I strongly recommend a hidden gem, turned to be, foreign movie "All my friends are dead". I was so f@@@@ing surprised with this movie, loved it!!
Ross Noble IS quite famous here in The U.K. His type of comedy is "strange"... surreal and funny. I had no idea that the movie "stitches" existed... That you Mr. Van Dam for your recommendation... I'm going to watch it.
I can definitely vouch for 'Afflicted' as I saw that a couple of years ago. Hard to believe that those 2 guys who star in that film also made it with apparently no prior film-making experience?! It's EASILY one of the best found footage movies that I've ever seen and I LOVE the genre, personally. Will check out a few more on this list, thanks Dan :)
Chronicle, Afflicted, Troll Hunter, and WER are 4 of my all-time favorites in that type of mixed genre, where they a documenting and Filming uploading to their media channel daily like in afflicted and later in that movie it becomes tragic found footage, all 4 have some found footage elements mainly afflicted, all have that documentary feel to it, Chronicle is one hell of a fun ride, Troll Hunter is a Masterpiece, and WER is a Werewolf version of Afflicted and like Afflicted thing go haywire towards the end all great flicks
@@javiermigoya Troll Hunter is GREAT. It's funny while also getting scarier and scarier, and more believable, as it goes along. One of the funniest elements is the whole thing about whether or not anyone in the group is Christian. And the last troll scared the crap out of me. My grandmother came from Sweden and she had children's books with the most frightening images of trolls and other creatures in it, and usually terrible things happened to kids who didn't obey adults. So, that movie pushed a few buttons!
Lake Mungo is my number 1. But I watched Afflicted for the time last night and it was absolutely amazing! Tried to share it with others and people just don’t understand how good it is. It’s hard to get people to relate to real horror films that’s not full of Jump scares. The first person perspective from the camera really did the job for me. Make it look more realistic. Thank you for that
Your lists always come in handy, but I'm especially thankful for them every spooky season. :) I've slept on We Are Still Here and you definitely sold me on checking that out first.
1982's The Thing was definitive, and closer to the book, but it wasn't the "original". If you want a fun variation, "The Thing" from 1951 is a must see. And catch up on Netflix's Korean series "Kingdom" if you've been living in a backwoods cabin for a few years.
1951s The Thing w James Arness as the Alien is great. The 1982 was okay but I wasn't thrilled by all the gore in it which is strange that I liked the newer version more. Guess it was that tied up the loose strings . It's actually the prequel to the 1982 movie if you run it then watch the 1982 film. Run them together and see.
Yes,James arness the original THING who later was in Gunsmoke for years; and his brother actor Peter Graves who starred in Mission Impossible tv series ...I think The Eye was released in the same genre as Thing in the past..black and white scares from back in the day.✌️. PS: the Blob with Steve McQueen is also one of those oldie goodie black-whites.
@DaveNF2G the 1951 was the original but wasn't called The Thing. It had James Arness in it. The title was different but based haha on the book. Funny thing is all 3 versions, none had women in them. Did the 1982 have a woman in it ? It's been so long I honestly can't recall. The 51 version was the hookiest as most were for that time period, but it's still a fun movie. You never really get to see a really good glimpse of the Alien except to see he is tall. Arness was 6 ft inches.
I'm the biggest cynic, skeptic, horror fan. I love um' but rarely (if ever) horrified, shocked or scared at ANY movie. Darren's #1 suggestion (Drum Roll Please) made me jump scare!!! I ACTUALLY jumped, right here on my couch. It was amazing, like my first scare. Thanks Flix Connection🎃🖤🧡🤘
Lot of movies on the list that I tried to watch in the past, but couldn't get into. You and I have such similar tastes, though, that I always listen when you vouch for a flick. I'm going to check them out again. Thanks, Darren! Totally dig your detailed and articulate analysis. You're by far the best movie reviewer out there.
Lake Mungo was pretty good!! I LOVE found footage horror movies!! This one wasn’t so scary but man the actors made it seem so real!! That’s why I think it’s so good! Found footage movies are either really good or really bad and when they’re really good they make you feel like you just watched something that’s actually happened!!
cheers. I always enjoy your reviews and recommendations. Thanks for putting a genre title above the list. it makes it easier to remember what list I took a screenshot of.
Afflicted is amazing, some of the found footage stuff with the camera I don't even know how they did some of those things. It feels at times that YOU are doing this stuff, it was wild! I really enjoyed The Thing too with it's updated special fx, some of it is really good!
Haha; love the Sentinel,owned it on VHS...yup,there I said it...still have the novel...holy shite; it was excellent .s p o o k y.and takes place in an old NYC apartment that is golden...the woodwork alone😳.... Cannot believe there is someone out there in the ether who knows the Sentinel...✌️
Something I appreciated about The Thing 2011 was the slavish way they set up scene after scene from the original. As Kurt Russel went through the Norwegian base, every single room and scene he saw has been built and created and explained here in precise detail. But THEN they changed where the craft was. Where it was situated and how it got there. WHY?? Why, Flick Connection? Why pre-create everything else perfectly then make this arbitrary change?? Can anyone tell me why?? Because it really bakes my biscuit! (Also it could have been amazing if they’d left in 100% practical effects instead of chickening out at the last minute and throwing all that footage in the bin)
My dude you have been my movie suggestion guy for a few years now and this is the most unique list you've put out yet! Very well done as I've been struggling to find my Scary Movie Month movie list this year and this list you made has a LOT of movies that are new to me. Super thankful!
Darren, have you ever seen Pawn Shop Chronicles? I really think you would love it! It has a ton of great actors including Paul Walker, Norman Reedus , Elijah Wood, & Vincent Donofrio
So happy I See You was included. This is sooooo slept on. I did find your comparison between Daniel Isn't Real and Mandy interesting because I ADORE Mandy (as in small obsession) and I loathed Daniel Isn't Real. Schwarzenegger's son is excellent but the rest of the characters and storyline just grated my nerves so bad.
Only 6 of 20 are available here in Australia and only 4 of those are free... I wish the streamers would just provide the same content globally (and yes I know about VPN servers etc, but that's not the point).

Bf finding a movie added to our list: did you add this?
Me: yeah Darren recommended it
Him: cool
You're on a first name basis in our house ✌️
“I See You” is definitely one of my favorite flick connection recommendation of all time, def a must watch.
That was one of the most stressful movies I've ever seen. VERY well done.
Last Shift REALLY freaked me out!! I was shocked how parts of it stuck with me long afterwards.. you won't be disappointed!!!
I just watched it and was highly disappointed
It was good. Definitely been in situations where your sitting in abandon building...so it was creepy for me...
Just watched this! It was pretty freaky. Good film but not the best either.. a fun watch though!
This channel never fails to recommend a movie I never considered. Daniel isn't Real is 20 minutes in and I'm loving it.
Not sure if it is considered a horror movie or not, but a good low budget movie on Prime (with ads) is Spring. 2014 monster movie.
SPOILER ALERT
“I See You” was just another typical “subvert your expectations” movie. As soon as Hollywood stops making the white, male cop the true evil villain I may actually be surprised by a “twist” ending
The Dead is an underappreciated zombie movie and there's quite a story in just the making of it. Great pick. 👍
I’m so happy you mentioned Lake Mungo and Last Shift! I still think about both to this day, over a year after watching each. Horror movies don’t always stick with me, despite it being my favorite genre, but they were both extremely effective I think.
The Lords of Salem is very very underrated!!!
It's underrated because the ending sucks and this is coming from someone who's a Rob Zombie fan and Loved his other movies especially Halloween 1 & 2 and 31 but explain that mess of ending to me because I really didn't get it !
Besides Helen Hunt’s face, I see You was such a great film and worth a watch for sure.
The Collector. Bar none one of the most edge of your seat thrillers.
Yes, that and the sequel The Collected are great movies.
Afflicted was terrific
GREAT list, plus Prime’s
1. Most romantic horror is Spring.
2. Most beautiful horror is The Neon Demon.
3. Most underrated indie horror is Goodnight Mommy.
The Loved Ones has become one of my fave horror movies of all time. The movie is haunting and feels almost like a metaphor for current times. The extremes people will go to if they don't get their way (i.e., cancel culture). And that damn song (Not Pretty Enough) was in my head for weeks!!!
Definitely an entertaining movie!
It's good
Lake Mungo is truly a GEM. The twist is incredible.
I watched 1951 1982 and 2011 versions and 1982 “The Thing” best hands down.
Ohhhhh,yea, I think us chic's actually fell in lust ❤️🔥 with Kurt Russell and his HAIR....loved him,and movie was/is awesome.
***** My big "oh nooooo" with the 2011 THING was,omg; they just had to stick a really cool chic in the lead role,that irks me,but I'll watch most everything that Joel Edgerton is involved with.
Came out in VCR Stereo…not like that comment dated me. It was SO Good, thanks to Kurt
51 Had the great character actor Whit Bissell. He was in everything back then. Also starred in The Time Tunnel (mid 60s).
Take note: The 2011 version is a “prequel” To Carpenters ‘82 version
Thanks for listing these. When he kept referring to Kurt Russell's as "the original", I was getting really annoyed.
Just watched We are Still Here. Just watched it again. I watch it anytime I see it come up. Great movie.
I'll give that one another try; love Larry Fessenden( the hubby) actor / director...his first movie from way back is streamable now; called Habit.....awesome shocker; then there the Last Winter with Ron Perlman,and Wendigo with Patricia Clarkson( wow) that slipped by ....all Larry..you'll like them.✌️
Afflicted is soooo good! One of my very favorite movies in recent years.
Dude please do a video for the Netflix horror series Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House, and The Haunting of Bly Manor.
Every horror fan NEEDS to see those.
That was on his last list
@ryanslings6234 Throw in The Fall of the House of Usher and you've got a hell of a list.
Phantasm scared the crap out of me when I was a teenager.
Lords Of Salem is great with the sound off lol. Visually very interesting
Wow.sound off and a bowl full possibly.✌️
The original version of The Thing was actually The Thing From Another World, 1951.
One of my favorite movies of all time (the 1951 version, I mean)!
You guys do know the ORIGINAL "THE THING " was in around the 1950"s ? Great old B & W Movie.
1951. Great movie!
Afflicted is one of the best movies EVER!!!!!!
I just watched “Afflicted” and it was great thank you
I've just recently found you and love your lists. Forgive me if I've missed them but three movies I've been hoping would make your lists.... death of Ian stone, Grave Dancers, and Gutterballs. I don't believe these get the recognition they deserve. True gems in every sense of the word.
Anyone who hasn't seen the 2011 version of The Thing should really check it out. Some of the body horror and FX are amazing in this one.
I Wana see it!!!
If you liked Afflicted you should cover Wer, its another indie gem
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺👍
Thank you for the recommendatuon. I loved this one! So far Wer and Jessabelle have been my favorite horror movies I've never seen for Halloween 🎃. I'm thinking Tubi is where it's at this year
Haha, I immediately also went into the comments to tell people that liked Afflicted to watch "Wer". It was so good.
What most don't know about the 2011 "The Thing", is that it is actually a prequel to Carpenter's great movie. I feel it was a very bad idea to not indicate or indicate this with the title.
Yeah it's not a remake, although some of the scenarios it sets up are. I thought the special effects were great.
Those most people must not have watched the movie if you watch the movie you know it's a prequel
The song from The Loved Ones still randomly occupies space in my brain and I haven't seen it in 12yrs lol
Last Shift sounds like a unique twist on a classic formula. Setting that hasn’t really been explored.
I watched it a number of months ago and it's one that really sticks with you if you're a real horror fan. I recommend it to anyone I know who enjoys horror movies.
Have a great Halloween people. Be safe. Eat tons of candy. Watch something happy after all these horror movies. Hallmark has Christmas love stories. Star Wars. Star Trek. Uplifting emotions. Have a nice night. 🙏🥰
PS/Thank you for your work.
I love seeing people mention Afflicted! That movie is an underrated FF gem!!
I watched Afflicted and believe me when i say, there wasnt ONE SINGLE moment in that movie i didnt enjoy!
And this is coming from a true horror fan.
The acting, the effects, the entire story, what a MASTERPIECE!
Thanks mate for recommending this gem!
I havent cried on a movie so much as this one!
Couldn’t agree more
P.s. you’re beautiful
Wow, I completely erased Afflicted from my memory. I know I watched it but I can only remember the premise. I should watch it again.
Afflicted is one of my favorites. The bodycam setup is one of the best done.
I really liked Jessabelle on Tubi. Louisiana, voodoo, spooky haunted house 👻. Perfect for Halloween
I am so glad you chose Afflicted! I’ve loved this movie for a long time. It’s a great and unusual vampire flick with lots of action.
I’d like to recommend Itsy Bitsy, which is on Shudder, for people who enjoyed Crawl. But this one is about a woman fighting a spider that grow larger and larger. And Burning Bright is in the same vein, only it’s a Tiger in the house…(my mom loves these types of movies!)
You're kind of spoiling the movie by saying what type of movie it is. Just a heads up for people who read your comment in the future.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen you recommend 'Murder Party' (2007), unless I missed that episode. It's the first full length film by Jeremy Saulnier who went on to make 'Blue Ruin' and 'The Green Room', both of which I believe I have seen you feature. Definitely a great Halloween pick. It's on Prime Video Channels, but you have to rent it (maybe that's why?)
He's recommended it before, but along time ago.
I didn't realize the same guy did all 3, I love those movies.
"If you're not opposed to blood and some mild torture, than The Loved Ones is going to be a top shelf pick for you this year."
That might be the most incredible sentence I'd heard in a long time.
It's a really good movie, it and The Reef were like my top movies of that year horror-wise.
show Tubi some Halloween love, they have urban legend and a ton more horror, you know the deal, your the man, man🤘😎🤘
Yeah alot of these movies are on there too !
Why is the only Scream on there the spanish version
He isn't getting paid by tubi
@@DukeCannon Love ur beard oil!
I only discovered Tubi last year while looking for “Sleepaway Camp.”… found it!
The Loved Ones is brilliant! The daughter and dad are soooo good as creepy psychos! I highly recommend it!
Oh man. I never heard of Afflicted until I saw it on this list and I was blown away after finishing it. That’s why I came to you my man. I can’t wait to go through all the movies I haven’t seen yet by the time Halloween rolls around. Appreciate you sir. 🙏🏽
went to see Phantasm at the drive ins back in 79. Love the Cuda in the movie!
Hell House LLC is the first movie in a very long time I didn’t feel too comfortable watching on my own. I really like the second one but the third didn’t match up. Stitches is a great flick, Ross Noble is a very good comedian here in the UK. After watching this video my viewing is set up for tonight! 😁👍🏼

I think about that too. How in the world does he have the time and patience to watch all of these movies and remember them.
BTW: The Thing 2011 is an excellent movie, if you've seen The Thing 1982 John Carpenter's Classic this movie is a must viewing, it gets the short end of the stick in reviews because it has the same exact name which was obviously a marketing mistake because it's constantly reviewed as a comparison to John Carpenter's classic and this movie is a prequel to that movie, to this day 10 years after it's release, many people who have not seen it or refuse to see it still think this movie was a remake of John Carpenter's Storyline, this movie has a completely different story it's the prequel to the John Carpenter Movie Storyline, this story is the perspective of the Norwegian base scientists and workers that discovered the spacecraft buried in the ice and made the unfortunate mistake of bringing the frozen lifeform to their base

Hi Flick what about forage horror movies like grave encounters
Love that one and the sequel
Ross Noble IS quite famous here in The U.K. His type of comedy is "strange"... surreal and funny.

Lake Mungo was pretty good!! I LOVE found footage horror movies!! This one wasn’t so scary but man the actors made it seem so real!! That’s why I think it’s so good! Found footage movies are either really good or really bad and when they’re really good they make you feel like you just watched something that’s actually happened!!
Love Rob Zombie
I'm impressed you included Phantasm!!! I was a kid when I saw this and sequel as well. Amazing as you say, the real thing!!!
Regarding "The Thing", the original is the 1951 with James Arness as the creature. The 1982 version is a remake
cheers. I always enjoy your reviews and recommendations. Thanks for putting a genre title above the list. it makes it easier to remember what list I took a screenshot of.
Afflicted and Daniel Isn't Real are really good movies.
Good Call on The Loved Ones! Seen that years ago and what a RIDE. Great recommendations Van 🤘💀🤘
Afflicted is amazing, some of the found footage stuff with the camera I don't even know how they did some of those things. It feels at times that YOU are doing this stuff, it was wild! I really enjoyed The Thing too with it's updated special fx, some of it is really good!
Not on Prime, but the original "The Sentinel" (1977) is really creepy.
Also, "House" (1986) is a great old-school horror/comedy.
Haha; love the Sentinel,owned it on VHS...yup,there I said it...still have the novel...holy shite; it was excellent .s p o o k y.and takes place in an old NYC apartment that is golden...the woodwork alone😳.... Cannot believe there is someone out there in the ether who knows the Sentinel...✌️
Yeah I really enjoyed the Sentinel, it also used real amputee's.
Like The Sentinel found House skip it.
Good pick for no. 1. Afflicted is brilliant.
The Hell House movies are great. The third one is definitely the weakest of the 3 but I still really enjoyed it.
Something I appreciated about The Thing 2011 was the slavish way they set up scene after scene from the original.
As Kurt Russel went through the Norwegian base, every single room and scene he saw has been built and created and explained here in precise detail.
But THEN they changed where the craft was. Where it was situated and how it got there.
WHY?? Why, Flick Connection? Why pre-create everything else perfectly then make this arbitrary change?? Can anyone tell me why?? Because it really bakes my biscuit!
(Also it could have been amazing if they’d left in 100% practical effects instead of chickening out at the last minute and throwing all that footage in the bin)
My dude you have been my movie suggestion guy for a few years now and this is the most unique list you've put out yet! Very well done as I've been struggling to find my Scary Movie Month movie list this year and this list you made has a LOT of movies that are new to me. Super thankful!
Who is that in your thumbnail ?
@@mchamber366 No idea. Random image off internet
Low budget horror film I enjoyed: End of the Line directed by Devereaux
Darren, have you ever seen Pawn Shop Chronicles? I really think you would love it! It has a ton of great actors including Paul Walker, Norman Reedus , Elijah Wood, & Vincent Donofrio
So happy I See You was included. This is sooooo slept on. I did find your comparison between Daniel Isn't Real and Mandy interesting because I ADORE Mandy (as in small obsession) and I loathed Daniel Isn't Real. Schwarzenegger's son is excellent but the rest of the characters and storyline just grated my nerves so bad.
Hey Brotherman!!!...outstanding list!!!...great information and presentation!!!...thanks very much!!!...\m/
Haven’t heard of more then half of these movies thanks for the recommendations really appreciate the reviews as well
Very excited as I have only seen half of these.
Wow, just watched Afflicted because of your video and it was great. One of the best “found footage” movies I’ve seen.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I want 90 minutes of my life back after watching We Are Still Here😦
The best part of the movie is the furniture.
I haven't seen the movie yet but you get a like from me because that's one of the funniest comments on here
m Chamber: let me know what you think!
A great list!! And I love The Sacrament for sure! I can’t wait to watch these others.
I enjoyed the crap out of Afflicted. You recommended it in another video. I was so happy with it. Thank you Darren! Much love! Keep the videos coming.
If you haven't seen Wer, check it out, it's about Werewolves, made in that same realistic documentary style
Only 6 of 20 are available here in Australia and only 4 of those are free... I wish the streamers would just provide the same content globally (and yes I know about VPN servers etc, but that's not the point).
Once again, it's all about the jingo.... 💰
Love all your videos 🌸
Prime had “The Autopsy of Jane Doe”, far better than anything on this list excluding 1982 “The Thing”.
That movie was pure cheeks.
It was ok,to me...all the hype,it fell a lil flat for me when it got Hollywood cheesy....just an opinion,means nada.👋
I agree; I really enjoyed that movie.
Have you seen the possession of hannah grace? Almost as good as AOJD
@@flippinsweetliger Yes saw that, it was pretty good. And thanks for the recommendation!
I just LOVE all of your recommendations. I have watched some pretty amazing movies that I would have never seen without you. Thanks!
Check out Ravenous from turn of millenium.
I thought i saw it streaming on Prime
Some great actors fun period piece story
Just watched haunted house llc. Holy sh1t! Great call!!!
“John Dies at the End” is awesome.
