Any horror fanatics in the house?

RE: Any horror fanatics in the house?
I'm aware Ebert hated, hated, hated it, but the original The Hitcher is a favorite of mine.

As for Ebert's dissent, I think for me, the 'weird homoerotic vibe' is what addresses his objection and makes the movie work. I realize YMMV.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It's interesting to see which horror films he liked and which he didn't. Like he loved Evil Dead 2, but didn't care for Hellraiser.

I like 1 and 2; 3 got silly and convoluted and they killed off my favorite character. And wasn't there a 4? Don't think I saw it if there was.

Watching Green Inferno right now. So far so good, but haven't gotten to the gory parts yet.

Yeah, there was a 4 and maybe even a 5 I think??

The first one was the best. Two and three were alright.

I suppose I should have been more clear when I said they killed off my favorite character: they did that in Scream 2, not Scream 3.

I thought they were all silly. Tongue

There is a part 4, yes. Can't remember if there is a part 5 as well ...
