Happy Halloween, Scooby Doo

 Happy Halloween, Scooby Doo is a film i mainly rented for three reasons. 1) Halloween, which this film indeed showcases. 2) Elvira, a nice cameo which fits Scooby lore. 3) Scarecrow, why a Batman character? No idea, cash grab? Weak attempt. I also found the characters to be weak aswell, their choices didn't make alot of sense such as Velma's denial of Shaggy and Scooby saying there are monsters. Daphney's slang while only in a scene was quite cringe, but that was the point. At the core it is a basic Scooby flick but with several fun nods to Scooby history(and a Pup Named Scooby Doo) plus it has a love of halloween so that alone is worth the price! 

They Live Inside Us

They Live Inside Us is a super atmospheric ghost tale set on Halloween. Beyond that it is also partially an anthology film, but done with an interesting wrap around. It's not really a slow burn but it is, it is helpful that it is carried by strong performances. It's become a modern theme of watching one unravel, and that indeed happens here. 

Vampires vs The Bronx

 Vampires vs The Bronx follows the modern foot steps of IT and Stranger Things with 13 year olds battling monsters. It has a Fright Night meets Attack the Block vibe throughout, especially with the setting and the aura of vampires. Fun, fast paced and charming, a celebration of friendship and culture, i hope this does well for Netflix because it is very timely for today's society. 

Let's Scare Julie

 Let's Scare Julie had a decent trailer, some decent buzz and some Purge esque masks. I figured it being from Shout it might also be decent. What it is, is atmospheric, it's a good flick to watch alone in the dark as you feel like you are there, or with a group of friends so you can think you're having more fun than the characters are. We are forced to watched a slumber party with a bunch of bitches that are trying to prank a girl only for the horrors to turn real. I didn't watch this with friends so i don't know how well it would hold up as a so bad it is good flick, but i love the Room and Plan 9 by myself but not this. As i said i respect the vibe it had but the plot, acting and pacing were just awful. Let's Scare Julie and let's waste six bucks on a rental. 

The Binding

 With the Binding being from Italy, i had hopes it would actually be a good possession film. I didn't need great, just good. Instead it was subpar. It had moments but it all felt tired and familiar but not in  good way. It wasn't bad by any means, it was just a run of the mill possession film.

Scare Me

 Scare Me is possibly the best original/exclusive film on Shudder. The film is a journey, both mentally and emotionally. We start off with just two strangers telling stories, but instead of anthology horror we see two souls hanging out, bonding, having a good time and acting out their stories. It is funny, heartfelt and whimsical. The last act takes a sharp turn and then the real horror begins. This film magnifies the fragile male ego, jealousy, and the depths that torment people. There is a bit of dialogue at the end that sums up the entire film and at that point you know the flick, while a celebration of horror, is also so much more with its commentary.
