Catching it tomorrow with Kostanski doing a Q&A, super excited

Oh yeah

Yes, I like the way he used quiet and stillness

The plotting is dumb and obvious but I really like Bautista in this

Yay

Cinema Slashes Back 🔪 @cinemastrikesback.bsky.social · 15h

Yeah, I was mostly enjoying it, but that last 20 minutes is fucking amazing

Cinema Slashes Back 🔪 @cinemastrikesback.bsky.social · 15h

Go go, my memory

Cinema Slashes Back 🔪 @cinemastrikesback.bsky.social · 15h

It’s really good and it’s pretty short

Yeah, 2005 if I remember correctly, I interviewed the guys who did it afterwards. It’s really well done.

It’s really solid old-school horror with a 70s flare. (I know it was released in 1980, but that movie is 70s as fuck and was probably filmed in the 70s)

I love that the weird little sister from the first movie has grown up into TV’s Crystal Bernard (which, how is this the second movie starring Crystal Bernard I’ve seen this year?!? ❤️❤️❤️).

Crystal Bernard, fucking LEGEND for this outfit. Suspenders over a cut off Christmas sweater over a short sleeve shirt and acid washed mom jeans, with matching hoop earrings. 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ we’re not worthy

#Shocktober Slumber Party Massacre II (1987) - bit of a mess but holy shit, when it’s good it’s GREAT. And I mean when the movie is hijacked by the spirit of toxically masculine rock and roll. Atanas Ilitch is an absolute delight and his musical number is a 10/10, a slasher for the ages.

Top 5 locations where I’d like to see Russell Crowe investigate demonic possession in the (🤞) sequels to The Pope’s Exorcist:

1. Area 51
2. A nudist colony
3. Atlantis (sunken continent or beach resort, either is good by me)
4. The White House
5. Mars

I did mostly enjoy the Russell Crowe one because it really leans into the stupidity with Vatican Vespas and naked exploding ladies.
