I am going to watch /re-watch all these slashers
The hiatus from 5 to now really benefitted the franchise. Bloodlines is legit good, but Final Destination also had a whole decade+ of re-evaluations, especially during the pandemic of being some of the best guilty pleasure flicks and begging the ultimate question — “when we getting another one?”

Just saw Bring her back. I give it a 7.5/10. Very depressive movie. I can see this movie hitting harder for horror fans that have kids.

Fire movie that i don’t think I can just put on and watch or say has high replay value just because it’s depressing

It's funny, I know a lot of horror-heads who hate the term Elevated Horror, but I think it made it easier for critics to stop being so damned biased against horror. People finally started separating out the horror that's made for pure fun, like a popcorn action movie, and the horror that's made with a deeper story or message, like a good drama.
The crazy thing is, I'm too young to know, but it feels like there was some love for "elevated horror" in the 90's before the term existed. Kathy Bates got an Oscar for Misery and Silence of the Lambs was all over the Academy nominations. I wonder why that lost steam.

Some good interviews for the horror movie of the hour.

Your girl loves em....
Trying to see bring her back this weekend
I think it was easier for those two movies to get nominations because they were more thrillers than hard horror.

I was too young for those also but I think I remember there being debates about whether it was "horror" or a "thriller". I feel like some people used to try to place horror in a box like it's all slashers, demons, vampires, etc... and obviously that's never been the case.

We're supposed to see 'Bring Her Back' this weekend as well. Same chick I brought to the last couple horrors I seen... she's loves the genre

I haven't been a fan of Blumhouse recently. But this is pretty cool, considering Wan involvement in the original. I think it would be cool as hell if he and Leigh Wannell teamed up one more time for a sequel. I'd say "to revive the franchise" but honestly, I felt like the last one did that already.
Something poetic seeing this come full circle with James gaining ownership stake and has me feeling better seeing what him and possibly Leigh do creatively with the inevitable reboot.
Feel the same with Blumhouse but I’ll give them credit with the way they’ve rebounded their library since Halloween Ends/Exorcist: Believer. They don’t have Chucky, but they got a M3GAN. Elm Street rights are a clusterfukk? No problem, they got The Grabber playing mind games of his own in the meantime. FNAF…I’m not a fan, but it’s a draw. Good on ‘em.
Got the budgets under control, too. My only concern is over-reliance on these IPs vice putting out banger original stories like they used to.

I get what you mean about it, though. They've got those originals to build on, but the majority of their most memorable recent titles are deep into their sequels.
Ironically, it's a flawed one-off movie that made me the most excited to see the direction Blumhouse will take. Woman in the Yard got a bit sloppy storytelling-wise, but it went to a darker place than I feel like Blumhouse has been willing to go recently. It felt really unique, and gave me that "they gave an original idea a shot" vibe that felt lacking.
