It's not going to be a huge loss for Sony but the potential was there for this to do really well if some slight changes were made and the casting of the "teenagers" was better.

I don't think the sequel is likely to be greenlit at this point

I watched Bring Her Back on Friday. The movie was good but pretty damn bleek. Not as bleak as In the Eyes of My Mother but pretty close.
Talk to Me was more enjoyable but I couldn't really say what was the better movie. I will say I absolutely love the way Philippou works the occult into their movies. Its not really the focus but they give you enough to understand how it works and they have you wanting to know more.

You guys see one or two opinions and judge if you’re going to watch a movie or not? 
No matter what movie, music, form of entertainment it is someone will not like it. And the opposite of someone enjoying it.

Weapons trailers better live up to the hype
Sinners was a great immersion, but the vampirism felt slapped on and brief
New Toxic Avenger looks too polish, so I'll stick with my low-budget dopey Troma classic
Nope is a long-drawn out masterpiece, yet KeKe could have tone it down a notch

Actually looks interesting.
Within a year i somehow watched Hellraiser and Hellraiser 3 but not the second one. I might run the series up to 6 this week.

The second one >>>>>> Hellraiser 3 by a comfortable margin. The first three are heat. Everything after is crap except bloodlines, though I keep meaning to go back to the one where Pinhead's on the internet.

What happens if you take a poor man's version of the scares from the Grudge, a poor man's version of the plot of the Ring, and set it in a post-social media Japanese Society? You get the very fun but incredibly mid Ghost Station.
Trailer warning: This gives away all the best parts of the movie, but if you're not gonna watch anyway, it'll also give you enough plot to figure out the rest...
It's a fun, popcorn horror with homages to the great J-Horrors; and a couple of stand out moments. A journalist needs a viral story ASAP, and her friend lets her know about a weird occurrence at a train station which leads to a Ju-On/Ringu mashup of a plot.
It's at its best when it's not taking itself too seriously, with some nice bits of humor mixed between scares. There's also a cool thing the director does where he films a conversation with a close up of one character while the other character is still in the shot but doing something on the side. It makes exposition dumps feel dynamic with action while we hear the plot unfold.
The plot itself is very iterative of past J-Horrors, particularly the Ring. It's not terrible, it's interesting enough, but there are plenty of contrivances and tropes. The ending pays everything off pretty nicely. But the scares of the weakest point of the movie, and even at a short 80 minute run time, it has a couple of parts that drag.
So...very mid, but entertaining. I'd rate it similar to Until Dawn, where it was a fun ride worth checking out, but not scary and with some obvious flaws.
