The opening scene alone is worth the ticket, but there's a mid-movie twist that's just complete chaos, presented completely in slow-motion and scored with what sounds like a nu-metal band trying to write something for a high school proms to play as a slow dance.

Like, keep all the staff in place and make no changes other than designating one night a week for classic horror movie screenings and having this photo at the concession stand.

Sometimes all a big, crowd-pleaser movie needs to be worth it is one really good action sequence. The "all monsters attack" scene from Cabin in the Woods, the "Free Bird" church fight in Kingsman, the nightclub shootout in John Wick. Just five minutes of uninterrupted violence goes a long way!

The Hateful Eight is my favorite Tarantino movie, an opinion that gets me the same looks as when I say yellow is my favorite Starburst flavor (also true). It's one of his least "fun" films, really revels in it's own unpleasantness in a way I find deeply compelling.

Terrifier 2 is the best and, being snarky, only great movie in the series. It's maximalist scope and anarchic glee towards violence are unmatched; the limited budget and ambition of T1 mean it comes off as just a gorier than average slasher and the dour tone of T3 makes for an unpleasant watch.

Strange Days is criminally underseen, ironic considering the film it's most in the shadow of is the poster boy for cyberpunk cult classics. It's relative obscurity stateside (was out of print for over a decade) means there are several prominent genre works that have copied scenes nearly wholesale.

Continuing with found footage, Noroi: The Curse is another all-timer. Collecting footage from a number of sources, the result is a kind of video collage, like the paranormal events depicted are so far-reaching they're unavoidable. Everyone with a camera ends up catching something, even accidentally.
