    After watching this for the first time since shortly after it came out, its flaws are more obvious, and I remembered most of the twists well before they happened. 

    That being said, it’s still an above average sci-fi thriller with an interesting story. Nostalgia also helps a tad here.

    Despite all the good stuff, the fact that it’s so formulaic really works against it and keeps it from being a great movie. 

    Baaaaaarely 4 stars.

  • Insidious: The Red Door

    Boy this sucked. 

    Almost dropped the last half star when I heard Patrick Wilson singing in the credits lol

    This whole franchise has been mediocre overall, would be sick if a competent director did the sixth one which is apparently officially a thing now. 

    I’m watching these out of some weird obligatory nostalgia at this point.

    This was unfathomably stupid. 

    I’ve decided all of Letterboxd is in on some joke to give this good ratings, and I was simply unaware of it going in. Got me good.

    This was absolutely atrocious. 

    I almost rolled my eyes so hard, and so many times, I think I may have developed an astigmatism or some other malady of the eyes. 

    The whole time I was thinking “how dare he do this to such an iconic movie such as The Shining,” and I don’t even LIKE The Shining. 

    This is like B - movie level bad. 

    If Kyliegh Curran was replaced by your average child actor, this would have been laugh…
