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.

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.

Which character was it?
