2017 Halloween Horror Movie Challenge Discussion Thread

I haven't. Is it standalone enough if I haven't watched a Chucky movie in 20 years?

[Sham]

Definitely NOT a standalone film. Which is both its strength and weakness.

So has anyone else checked out Cult of Chucky on Netflix yet? The first half hour is fan-fucking-tastic, but then it treads familiar waters and becomes your standard B-movie.

Yeah, I just watched it and I have so many questions.

Spoiler:

Since when did Chucky become a horcrux? And is Jennifer Tilly playing the part of Jennifer Tilly and the Tiffany doll is Tiffany? What happened to Andy - is he still stuck in lockdown? I hope they do another. It seems like they will since they left the ending pretty open-ended.

Hmm ok... I don't think I have watched a Chucky film since Bride of... I need to see the others?

I will admit I am curious about this one for some odd reason.

I saw the world premiere last month, wasn't worth it. I thought it felt like an episode that needs another film, rather than working as a film in its own right.

Watch Curse of Chucky, then Cult and you'll be set.

Thanks, I may do that out of curiosity.

I watched "Bound By Flesh", the documentary about Daisy and Violet Hilton. Would that count for the horror movie challenge since they were in "Tod Browning's Freaks" even though the movie didn't get a huge mention in the documentary? It was more about their life story.

I think counting that would be the equivalent of me counting a documentary I watched on Sissy Spacek because she was in a horror film once.

I would say no. Not sure how or why the life story of disabled sisters would be considered horror. A doc on HH Holmes, Jack the Ripper, etc. Sure. A doc on a horrific event even, like the Tate Murders, or something sure. A doc on the making of a horror movie, or a horror writer, sure.

Why were you watching a doc on Sissy Spacek? Did XFlix send you the wrong DVD again? Sissies in Space was decent, but not worth all the trouble you're going through to see it.

Because she's led a fascinating and well-rounded life, but you wouldn't know that because you are too judgmental and negative to watch documentary on her.

Watched Blade tonight. Nothing much to say except I love this film. The CGI shows its age, but the rest of the film still kicks ass.

I want to revisit the whole series at some point because I definitely liked all three during the first go around.

I like how you labeled what's on Netflix and Prime and such in your watch list. I totally ripped that off. That's actually pretty cool because I might want to watch something you watched without having to buy it.

I haven't. Is it standalone enough if I haven't watched a Chucky movie in 20 years?

Watch Curse of Chucky, then Cult and you'll be set.

Watching Curse right now based on this advice. Still one of the better in the series.

When you say, 'you are too judgmental and negative to watch documentary on her', do you mean that because I am too judgmental and negative, that I won't be interested in watching a documentary on her, or that since I am too judgmental and negative, I am being forbidden to watch documentaries on her?
