I’m actually not aware of any conservatives positively reviewing a Snyder film, which could just say something about my lack of knowledge about conservative film reviewers.

I dunno, are your feelings generally unreliable? Perhaps you should see a doctor to see if there’ something up with your nervous system.

When Tyler Smith assigned some Christian films to Jim Rohmer of I Do Movies Badly, the one he really liked was “Believe Me”, about people trying to scam the Christian cultural industry. Of course, that was the film that had the worst box office of the selections. “Woodlawn” was said to be just ok.

Per Tyler Smith, who is a conservative Christian film critic that contributes to Battleship Pretension (and created More Than One Lesson, though he hasn’t contributed much recently there), most of the output of the Christian film industry really is terrible.

Sorry, the risk that an AV Clubber in a non-collapsed civilization still having less than $100k in assets is too high.

AVC rarely reviews movies from years ago, particularly obscure ones only notable for the films that came after. Perhaps if there’s another sequel there could be a Run the Series feature.

It appears the actual reason Rife was there was to discuss the sub-genre of “ski comedies” prior to a screening of “Hot Dog... The Movie”.

I’ve sometimes considered watching “Offspring”, the film prior to The Woman, particularly since it is supposed to have a subtitled invented language for the cannibal clan, but I’ve never come across a positive review for it (aside from praise for McIntosh’s performance).

Prior to watching this at Cinepocalypse, I saw Katie Rife in the hallway and wondered when a review from her would arrive. I’m glad to see it now, although like her I wish the film itself had been better. I wasn’t as bothered by the SUV sequence, but the film did tend to be a tonal mess. It also seemed to be trying to…

I was wondering when someone was going to mention The Rundown.

End of Watch? I liked how it wasn’t strictly beholden to the rules of found-footage.

As with Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, it might be more fitting of the mockumentary label.

I was under the impression that Lovely Molly wasn’t found-footage. I still haven’t seen it though.

I remember the framing sequence of the first one being both amateurish & full of the sort of dislikeable characters you want to die, resembling just the sort of horror movie I dislike.

I’ve held off on seeing Cloverfield because I’ve disliked everything I’ve seen from Matt Reeves and never had a positive opinion of J. J. Abrams. The downside is that I keep hearing 10 Cloverfield Lane is good, but the completionist in me objects to watching it before the first one.

It is more of a mockumentary, heavy on interviewing Leslie and only becoming a slasher film itself in the last act. I actually prefer it over Cabin in the Woods because it is specifically about the slasher sub-genre, which it loves enough to fully embrace in the climax, rather than being a more detached joke about…

Trollhunter is the only one of those I’ve seen, but I can recommend it. The same director went on to make The Autopsy of Jane Doe, which is quite good, although I think the creepy song used in it is actually something of a plot hole.

REC only goes from virus-zombies to demonic possession at the end, and that wasn’t enough to ruin the experience for me.

[REC] was WAYYYY better than Paranormal Activity. It seems odd that a movie as lame as the latter spawned a long-running franchise. And while it might be unpatriotic of me, if I had to recommend one other movie on your list, it would be Trollhunter.

I wasn’t aware he was responsible for Movie 43.
