Three microblogging bits from Tuesday. #baldursgate3

Tiring of Baldur’s Gate 3, Wheel of Time, and more.

Old Italian Mario Bava black and white fare.

A list of horror movies I’ve seen, grouped by year.

A list of horror movies I’ve marked to watch.

Horror movie scorecard, by year.

A list of what I would recommend as anywhere from good to great horror movies, by year.

Movies in the database, starting with the most recent.

Finally got around to watching it.

A well-shot SAW-ish movie that had its moments (well, one moment… the end) but overall kind of a predictable story full of shallow kids I didn’t really care about, and too much slasher for my tastes.

The first half hour is a subtitled fever dream.

This is my favorite kind of Stephen King story, except it’s not a Stephen King story, it’s credited to Brian Nelson and M. Night Shyamalan.

Another cheap Italian Mario Bava movie from the film era before sound design mattered, so everything sounds like a badly dubbed, warbly cassette tape.

Lots of star power and Tangerine Dream but I think I must have had a stroke because what was that? It started very promising, but it wasn’t my imagination that it felt like half the narrative had been cut out, leaving random gibberish, because it was.

It’s okay, but I got a bit bored in the middle of it.

Well I finally watched it.

Um.

The one where Christopher Walken gets a higher credit than Jeff Goldblum by chewing gum and saying nothing whatsoever, and where Tom Berenger makes a surprise one-line appearance at the end.

It’s a unique movie, I’ll give it that.

Not something I meant to watch, but it just happened to be on the front page of Amazon Prime one day.

Turned out it wasn’t really a horror movie, it’s more of a science ficion movie.

Typical factory-produced teen slasher made to pay the bills.

Started a bit slow, but has some very compelling plot developments.

Very low budget indie movie.
