The insanity of Jason 8 and X are far more enjoyable and fun than Screams 2-4. With slasher horror flicks, “a unique level of bad” is always preferable to “meh” quality. 

If we’re talking about franchises, Chainsaw sequels are far more better, smarter, more interesting, and more gonzo than the Hellraiser sequels. 

But it’s a French song! Street cred with the indie crowd. The Damned even did a cover of it!

This looks like the absolute worse, cheapest digital animation

Longshot prediction: We’re going to see Candyman make it to the semis.

Sure, if Hellraiser is a slasher, than why not Alien?

I was thinking that Ginger Snaps is seriously missing from contention. If we count Hellraiser as a slasher, than why not Ginger Snaps too?

So many Full Moon jabronies on this bracket. With the exception of Puppet Master (which should have beaten Saw easily), all these Full Moon flicks are just set up to allow the heavy-hitters to progress to the next round. In what universe could Evil Bong stand up against Texas Chainsaw? C’mon!

I would put Christmas Evil up against Black Christmas. I would still vote for Black Christmas, because it is awesome and in many ways the first true North American slasher (sorry Psycho, but you’re not a true slasher), but Christmas Evil is a lot more interesting than Silent Night.

Hello Mary Lou is an excellent horror flick, but it is a Prom Night sequel in name only. It otherwise has nothing to do with the preceding film, they just stuck the Prom Night name on it for marketing purposes.

It seems that in our current era, the role of film criticism has morphed into lauding our favorite franchises, praise corporate synergy, and absolutely, under no circumstance, suggest that something in pop culture might be “bad,” unless it offends our bland sensibilities.

“To me, a C represents a film that’s somewhat watchable, mostly forgettable and possibly a waste of your time.”

Thoughts on Spike Spiegel casting? Could have been maybe the only role for a “fuzzy haired” Jewish man in which he also gets to be a bad-ass, ultra-cool martial arts master.

I don’t anything about Sturridge but dude’s a dead-ringer for Peter Murphy so ...good casting!

Not sure whether to see Dear Evan Hansen this weekend or wait for the inevitable How Did This Get Made? episode. 

How many will feature Dude Love or Mankind?

I can’t for the life of me understand the current Blockbuster nostalgia. Nostalgia for video stores, sure, absolutely, but not Blockbuster.

I don’t think that’s the type of theatre QT is talking about.

I agree that the issue really isn’t the scene. I think QT makes matters worse (and actually does a bit of a disservice to his own product) by trying to explain and justify the scene.

That’s my issue with his recent comments, though; it worked much better when the audience didn’t really no the line between fact and BS, so it was left to us to determine how much was accurate, how much was to fog of time, and how much was Cliff inventing stories. His response in the interview sounded a lot like QT is…
