Black Christmas 1974
I rewatch it every year, and every year it's excellent, but I would give a lot to be able to experience it for the first time again.
If you haven't seen Black Christmas, put it on late at night, lights off, alone or with a scaredy-cat. By the time the credits roll, you'll agree with the tagline:
If this picture doesn't make your skin crawl... it's on TOO TIGHT.

Pet Sematary 1989
Jud Crandall drops some all-time Stephen King bars in Pet Sematary, and Fred Gwynne absolutely knocks em out of the park.
“Sometimes, dead is betta.”

Midkiff’s vacant, tortured portrayal of Louis Creed works in the second half, after tragedy has struck, and we have seen that the soil of the man’s heart truly is stonier, but the shift isn’t clearly delineated.Translated from by

The last time I watched…

The Wolf House 2018
Found out what this movie is based on right after watching it, and I feel completely gutted. I’m glad I didn’t know, because if I had, it would have sat on my watchlist forever. Additionally, viewing it without that context allowed for the interesting/sickening experience of retroactively dissecting how it so imaginatively evokes the foul events that inspired it.
Visually, the film is consistently engaging, and often times extremely unsettling. The rhythm and kinesis is captivating. Everything crawls or oozes…
