I haven't. Is it standalone enough if I haven't watched a Chucky movie in 20 years?
Re: 2017 Halloween Horror Movie Challenge Discussion Thread
Definitely NOT a standalone film. Which is both its strength and weakness.

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

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.

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.

Re: 2017 Halloween Horror Movie Challenge Discussion Thread
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.LivingDeadGirl wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2017 2:38 amI watched "Bound By Flesh", the documentary about Daisy and Violet Hilton.

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.Alien Redrum wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2017 3:00 pmI 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.

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.Neon Maniac wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2017 3:05 pmWhy were you watching a doc on Sissy Spacek?

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.
Watching Curse right now based on this advice. Still one of the better in the series.DJBenz wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2017 8:01 pmWatch Curse of Chucky, then Cult and you'll be set.Neon Maniac wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2017 1:21 amI haven't.

Re: 2017 Halloween Horror Movie Challenge Discussion Thread
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?Alien Redrum wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2017 4:44 pmBecause 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.Neon Maniac wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2017 3:05 pmWhy were you watching a doc on Sissy Spacek?
