October Horror Movie Challenge Day 9
Why I Watched:
Eyes of Death Theme Night
What I Learned:
- Shaky found footage movies make me sort of nauseous
- A new Year's countdown on a plane creeps me out for some reason.Like a countdown to the inevitable crash.
- And puking. Awesome.
- Plane crashes horribly and people actually need to be told, repeatedly, to get off the plane.
- Everyone is really concerned with food. They crashed like an hour ago. No one is starving.
- Lots of running and screaming as the camera points down. It's like a super bloody episode of COPS.
- Halfway through the movie and we still don't know what's happening or why. Just running. And bleeding. And in-fighting.
- If they're hiding from a monster, why do they keep screaming at each other? Stealthy. Why haven't they been eaten yet?
- Is it a dinosaur? A big lizard? Caused by nuclear experiments? Any type of answer would be nice.
- Yes. Saw that ending coming. And no answers on top of it. Awesome.

Why I Watched:
Rewatch
What I Learned:
- First sequel of the series that didn't start with a scene from an earlier movie
- Since when do they bury serial killers in their masks?
- Wish Corey Feldman came back as Tommy Jarvis. He would have nailed that line between insanity and absolute clarity
- Of course, Corey Feldman was too young at the time, but a girl can dream.
- There are a lot of "on the toilet" scenes in this franchise.
- There is a lot more cleaver and a lot less machete in this.
- Chainsaws are not reliable weapons, despite what some movies may want you to believe
Why I Watched:
Rewatch
What I Learned:
- I'm thinking, maybe we should stop opening Jason's grave.
- Maggot head. The ultimate insult.
- These girls and these boats. It's like they all refuse to learn.
What I Learned:
- These girls are supposed to be a cleaning service and they are grossed out by everything.
- They worked for maybe 6 minutes and now they want to stop until tomorrow.
- They suck at this job in every possible way.
- This seems to be a slutty, poorly acted take on Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
What I Learned:
- What were they going to do with a gun? People are disappearing into thin air. No bad guy.
- What is wrong with you people? You're partners are missing so you have sex? That'll save them.
- "I've read enough Stephen King to know..." Always good advice to follow.
Why I Watched:
Rewatch
What I Learned:
- Everyone should see this movie. Nathan Fillion. Michael Rooker. Elizabeth Banks. They're all so perfect.
- "You're initials are BM. Like a piece of shit." This from a grown man. To the woman he's trying to have an affair with.
- X-Ray scene totally works here.
- Mind-melding flashback sequence surprisingly effective.
