August 21, 2022Horror Comedy, New Release, Slasher, Theatrical ReleaseA24 Horror, Amandla Stenberg, Brick, Climax, Gosford Park, Lee Pace, Maria Bakalova, Pete Davidson, Rachel Sennott, The Old Dark Houseshockdoctors

Some promising early sequences are quickly undone by a melange of poorly-differentiated characters and a distinct underuse of the “dark and stormy night” atmosphere.

The latest entry in the long-running franchise is not entirely without merit, but enduring all of the “requel” discourse is about as much fun as watching Reddit projected onscreen for 114 minutes.

Those hoping for dose of vintage Cage Rage from this Five Nights at Freddy’s knockoff will be sorely disappointed. In Matt’s words, “Cage spent too much of the movie faffing about, or should I say, FNAFing about.”

Christopher Landon’s “Freaky Friday the 13th” genre riff is not nearly as clever as he thinks it is.

Justin Simien’s tale of a demonic weave has some tonal inconsistencies and juggles a variety of somewhat incompatible influences, but the end result is generally a good time.

Matt and Jim are thrilled to be back at it, but starting with The Hunt after a four-month layoff turns out to be pretty anti-climactic. And why was Trump pissed about this movie, exactly?
