A History of Violence is not nearly as good as I remembered.

Jordan Peele's movies seem scary to me. Much too soon to be in the list of "all time", but I tend to think "Nope" is going bother me for... years? One of the better monster films I can think of.

"Get Out" and "Us" I liked too.

Madness!

I really enjoyed 'Get Out' but I literally laughed aloud in the theater at 'Us.'

That was preposterously dumb to the point that I just 'Noped' on 'Nope.'

I didn't love Us when I first saw it, but it grew on me.

Nope was really great, and Get Out is obviously a modern classic.

I found that the actors did a good job with what they had to work with, but it was just ridiculous. I felt it was a comedy.

Speak No Evil is fun because the family's reactions to the escalating madness is like they threw some normies from the theater audience into the film.

A horror Home Alone of sorts. McAvoy plays the psychopath like no other. Absolute legend.

I hope they include the parts where he just makes up most of his military achievements (which isn't all of hia achievemens), that he was gay and was really into getting punished and humiliated.

You know, make him the guy he really was.

Did you see the original version? I can't imagine this remake is better even with McAvoy.

As much as I love A24 and Friday the 13th these 2 don't mix IMO. Plus it's a prequel TV series instead of a movie, id rather watch a sequel to Jason X than this.

Really? I'm pretty pumped for this one. It's been in development forever and the rights to the franchise were tied up in lawsuits for a long time, so I'm happy to see it's finally gonna see the light of day. Personally I can't wait to check it out.

I quite liked their last tv series, Age of Computer. This one doesn't have Terry, who has been doing his own YouTube solo stuff. A rift between them?

I'm excited for new Jason content, it's been far too long since the excellent reboot. We should have had several sequels from that timeline. I just feel like this doesn't fit together at all. A24 horror is a different style than the Friday films. I hope the essence of the Friday films remains.

Massive rift

The two haven’t been “involved” for years.

Most of it driven by “Deaner” trying to steal ownership of the Franchise & Characters.

Full disclosure I’ve met and had beers with Dave Lawrence a number of times, both as Terry and as Dave.

Great guy

What exactly does a Friday the 13th prequel series cover though? Is it gonna show his mom killing more kids? The first two movies already cover the rise of Jason pretty well

A raunchy, comedic series that follows a diverse group of misfits seeking to reconnect with their inner child and escape the monotony of their adult lives.

With a mix of slapstick comedy, witty banter, unexpected twists, and a whole lot of nudity, Camp Crystal Lake offers a refreshing and irreverent take on the adult summer camp genre, promising plenty of laughs, cringe-worthy moments, and unforgettable characters.

It will probably try to change the lore and subvert expectations. I fully expect Pamela Vorhees will be the one responsible for Jason's death now in a retcon.
