0-2… Nope. Never. Don’t waste your time.
2-4.. Might watch again. To make fun of it.
4-7… Some good things. Decent if you’re in the mood or with friends.
7-9… Would watch again. Maybe some hesitation.
9-10… Continuous loop. Watch every week (or at least once a year)

Shelf Of Movies
A Quiet Place–9.5/10
Jim from the Office finds the only thing more terrifying than Dwight… Super fast, super freaky monsters
Observance–8.9/10
Can we just admit that low-budget films are often better? This one definitely is. I wish I understood the ending.
Orphan–8.7/10
Fairly predictable movie, but the last 20 minutes makes it one of the best.
The Boy–8.5/10
Similar to Orphan, it’s your basic scare with a huge twist.
Let Me In–8.5/10
A unique vampire movie that is touching, scary, and memorable.
A qUiet Place (PT. 2)– 8.5/10
The first big post-Covid movie, and one that is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
Conjuring 2–8.4/10
This actually improves on the first one, with more character moments and great plotting.
Zodiac–8.4/10
Super long, super intense, super confusing… super great.
Last Night in Soho–8.2/10
Probably my favorite scary/thriller movie of 2021. It’s got heart, nostalgia, and a great ending. It’s also surprisingly relevant, despite being set partially in the 60s.
The Others–8.2/10
A scary movie about a haunted mansion… or is it? This movie has the best kind of ending. I never saw it coming. Very good. I’m tired.
Conjuring 3–8.1/10
The excellent sequel I didn’t expect. Fascinating plot choices lead to a thrilling conclusion. (I also talk a bit about the Conjuring series as a whole, up to this point.)
I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House– 8/10
I’m a sucker for older-set, Gothic films. This is one of the best. I love the ambiguous ending.
The Crazies–8/10
The Purge: Western Style… with lots more blood. And guns. And a great sheriff. You should watch it, but not if you’re out in the country or alone on a farm. No way.
Murder on the Orient Express (2017)–8/10
Not scary? Yeah, kind of, maybe. I just wanted an excuse to review this great movie.
The Lodge (2019)–7.9/10
This movie is dense, and there’s a lot to unpack. But ultimately, it’s a chilling story, a memorable family, and the good far outweighs the bad.
Us–7.7/10
Crazy amount of suspense; fitting finish. 0% cliche. (Maybe 15%, after you’ve seen The Invitation.)
Conjuring–7.7/10
The first film in a new series; possibly the best horror movie of this decade. A must-see.
Cabin in the Woods–7.6/10
One of the more intriguing horror movies, complete with its own conspiracies. Hits all the notes it aims for.
sinister–7.5/10
Terrifying, one of the best horror movies I’ve seen. Beware the tapes.
Carrie (2013)–7.5/10
Lots of blood and scares in one of Stephen King’s best stories.
The Shining–7.5/10
Definitely a classic, very slow at the beginning part; climax makes up for it. ❤ the setting. Mazes are creepy.
Insidious– 7.2/10
Interesting movie, good scares, but holds up a lot better because of the sequels.
13 Cameras– 7/10
This is one of those movies you’ll never forget. Check for cameras.
The Amityville Horror (2005)–7/10
The slow descent to insanity and a house that won’t let you leave alive. One of the rare excellent-remakes.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile–7.1/10
This movie is impressive for its emotional pull and its acting, but also how they recreated real-life scenes. Definitely worth 1 (singular) watch.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)–7/10
Chainsaws, blood. This movie is so gruesome it’s frightening and I never wanna go to Texas. Also, Matt Bomer.
Scary Stories TO Tell In the Dark–7/10
One unique death, great first hour, not so great finish. Movie tickets are expensive.
You Get Me–7/10
Bella Thorne somehow found her way into this very good movie. She fills out the “stalker” role well.
What Lies Beneath–6.9/10
Harrison Ford, a mysterious lake, and lots of blood. What could be better? (P.S. Are there any other Harrison Ford-horror movies? I need them…)
Friday the 13th–6.5/10
Good movie; I can see why it’s a classic. Great death scenes even by today’s standards. Loved meeting Jason’s momma!
The babysitter–6.5/10
I don’t usually like funny horror movies but this one was good enough. Great movie for a sleepover or something.
Insidious 3–6.5/10
Creepy movie, solid horror, with lots of jump scares and a good story line.
Insidious 2– 6.5/10
Similar to the first; keeps the scariness factor high.
Dead Silence–6.2/10
A surprisingly good, very mysterious horror movie. And the clown doll is the worst.
The INvitation–6.1/10
Really good buildup to the climax, which didn’t quite hold up. Also, Us sort of stole this movie’s red lantern twist and that makes me sad.
Jigsaw–6/10
Jigsaw is much more than chainsaws. Refreshing twist at the end. Please, no more Saw movies.
The Curse of La Llorona–5.5/10
Not nearly as good as the Conjuring; way better than the Nun. Very frightening, but could have used more character building.
Hush–5.5/10
This was surprisingly good and not as quiet as I expected. A solid movie, nothing spectacular.
The Ring–5.2/10
A scary girl from a well and lots of mystery… and a killer video tape. Better than it sounds. Good end.
It: Chapter One (2017)–5/10
Not great. Too long. Bullies are good. Town is good. Clown is just funny, though.
ANNABELLE COMES HOME–5/10
Maybe worth a second watch. Few too many cliches. All I want is Conjuring 3.
The Babadook–5/10
I understand why this movie was so acclaimed, but it feels like it was missing something.
Annabelle–5/10
A prequel to Conjuring, this one is weird. Like…. weird cat demons-level weird.
Sinister 2–5/10
Scary like the first, but with a much different ending. Not-as-good characters.
The Witch–4.9/10
This was the closest I’ve come to falling asleep during a horror movie. The last 30 minutes didn’t save it. Such a weird ending. A let-down.
It: Chapter Two (2019)–4.5/10
Bullies aren’t scary. Clown isn’t scary. Somehow, it’s substantially worse than the first.
He’s Out There–4.5/10
A movie with a lot of good threads, but they never tied together in a fitting way.
Split–4.5/10
Good movie, interesting plot, just too many jokes for my tastes.
Slenderman–4.5/10
Saw right before the Nun at a drive-in. Both crazy boring. This was at least… trying to be weird, and kind of did that.
Aftermath– 4.3/10
This movie swings between excellent “Oh!” moments and even more *cringes visibly* moments. Plenty to like and hate.
The Nun–4.2/10
Just… really not exciting. Pretty boring. Maybe it’s because I had high expectations from the Conjuring attachment.
(Guest) Cult of Chucky–4/10
Not scary. Maybe watch for a good laugh. Dolls are fun.
Mama–4/10
The only lasting impact this has is to make you a moth-killing crazy person.
The Stepfather–4/10
One of the most generic, laughable movies. Has Penn Badgley from YOU, if you’re into that.
Autopsy of Jane Doe–3/10
This movie’s premise could have been done better, but was kind of limited by the story line.
Unborn–3/10
Not a good movie, but you’ll never forget Eli.
The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014)–3/10
One of the many sequels/remakes I’ve watched. Nice attempt at a twist.
Taking of Deborah Logan–3/10
One of the weirdest possession movies I’ve ever seen… Little too weird…
THe Bye-Bye Man–2/10
Resisting the obvious “bye-bye” joke. This movie reminded me of a 3-review, obscure Amazon movie I watched. Not a good thing.
VHS–2/10
Um… very graphic movie, and not a story line, so yeah. A two.
Krampus–0/10.
Waste of money, with a bad Santa that has elf clown puppet demonic crap things. I think this is the only 0 I’ll ever give, to be honest.
