I won't lie. That ending to 28 years later was disappointing as hell for me.

It was a complete tonal shift and completely out of nowhere. I get that there's more coming but damn. I liked a lot of the movie because it was giving me some serious 'Apocalypse Now' vibes but it felt like an unfinished product by the end.

It's like if 28 days later ended right as they arrived at the mansion with the army guys.

I really liked the world-building for this, and the doctor was a really trippy but memorable character. It just felt like we got left hanging with how it ended. I'm more frustrated than anything because a proper ending could have put it up there with 28 Days...but instead it's a notch below for me.

Yeah, unfortunately I think we will have to look back on this as a "part 1" and view these most recent installments through that lens. It's a risky move because you're not the first person who I've talked to who was annoyed by it, I was offput by it as well. It's risky because now I feel like they really need to land the plane on the next one.

Scariest of '25 so far: Bring Her Back
Best storytelling horror of '25: Sinners
My favorite combination of the two: Weapons

This year's horror line-up is incredible. We got all-timers at the top; sequels that rebirth great franchises; and a really generous dose of pretty good but not great stuff that can scratch any horror itch you've got.

I thought this year would flop since last year was so amazing


All credit goes to the original movies out this year

I'm pretty sure I was approaching the midway point of this year going "everything that's dropping is mid...except Bring Her Back" and since then, I've gotten huge enjoyment out of Sinners, Final Destination, and Weapons. Plus, I really like (but don't love) Marshmallow, Dangerous Animals, Best Wishes to All and Companion.

That's all originals except for one. Plus, I have a decent backlog of relatively unknown joints that I want to give a try, and there are four more months' worth of drops, including the yearly October Blitz.

And that's not even mentioning the batch of decent stuff: The Monkey, Death of a Unicorn, Predator Killer of Killers, Until Dawn. I've got so much to rewatch before I make my top ten.

And to think we still got movies like HIM, the black phone 2, hell house, and the conjuring 4; plus so many others

I think the conjuring will be ass tho

And its bittersweet horror is thriving. I’m loving the fact that it’s on fire but I hate the opinions of non-horror fans man… shyt on horror my entire life just for it to be pooping and have randoms join…. To give the upmost shytty opinions on why a movie was good or bad….

The opinions in actual threads for movies be so garbage dude.

They just don’t get it


And then I’m digging that new alien show

Here's one that's got no real hype, but it's on my radar. The guy who wrote and directed it has acted in projects for the dudes who made Resolution and The Endless. They produced this, so I have faith that they helped him make the most of the indie budget. Plus, I love alien abduction stuff and think we could use more horror in that style.

I generally stick to the horror thread because I feel like there's a genuine gap between how horror heads react to it compared to general audiences.

I'm HYPE for that new alien show, but trying to wait for more episodes to drop so I can binge it all. Right now, I'm enjoying the Institute on MGM+, it's based on a Stephen King novel.
