Fusing old tropes to make something really fun and refreshing. It was a really good watch. There was a nice pace, maybe it could have been 10 minutes shorter but that's it. It was really nice and bombastic.

The characters were also really nice to get to know and the ending is good too. There are nice details that show that the film makers cared.

The script is mostly good, with some funny parts but definitely a few clungers. Overall really fun! A nice sleepover/Haloween movie. It was interesting to see what the filmmakers thought about each decade they were talking about too. Like they obviously have some issues with this decade but i think they were also just contrasting them to show the difference so it didn't feel malicious.

Netflix movies are a mixed bag. And this one was right down the middle. It had good points, the kills were gruesome and didn't shy away from that. It had these great ideas but unfortunately the films plot takes an absolute nose dive. Killing people and exposing secrets is a unique take but what's the point. Why do you want the person dead and for their secret to be out. It seemed like they needed to pick one or the other.

The character are nice but I feel like the writer was too scared to kill his darlings a little bit. I haven't read the book and I would be interested in how much was changed or not. And the title is absolutely insane. It has nothing to do with the movie. It would be like if E. T was called "In the woods" or something. Completely bizarre.

This movie completely fell off the rails. The first one sets up this sad story that, even though takes place in other locations, always centres itself on the house. It sets up this rules and situations that revolve around the house...unfortunately I guess the writer thought that another movie about people entering the house and dying would be boring so he decided to scrap the rules, fill 60% of this movie with footage from his previous movie and call it a day.

There are so many choice made here that are insane. Obviously it's still competently made and parts are creepy, I really liked one of the ending shots too. But even that didn't feel like it was related to the original movie. It felt insane.

Onryô are such an sad spirit and I think the first movie told that story well but this one wanted to have its cake and eat it too, it changed form a hallowed ground movie to "It Follows".
