"Halloween (1978)" still gives me goosebumps, even though I've seen it- and its imitations- many, many, many times.

"Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension" wasn't unwatchable and I'd say it's A LITTLE better than the fourth, but it's a study in why this franchise has become so stale.

"Attack on Titan: Part 2" might be an improvement over its predecessor, but it's better in the same way that "Star Wars: Episode II- Attack of the Clones" is better than "Star Wars: Episode 1- The Phantom Menace", which is a bit of a backhanded compliment.

"Crimson Peak" might be wearing a very attractive dress, but it's only to distract you from how ordinary it is...

"Attack on Titan: Part 1" won't likely satisfy anyone, as it's a weak adaptation, a weak standalone film and doesn't excel in the action or horror departments. But it's not unwatchable either and can even be enjoyable with the right crowd.

I didn't think "The Green Inferno" excelled as a movie, as a horror movie or as an Italian-styled Cannibal movie. I don't really hate it, but I almost feel like that is worse, as it shows how detached and uninterested I was. I've enjoyed talking about it, but I felt very little while watching it.

"The Brood" is an...odd kind of movie, as it fits my definition of 'good' and potentially even achieved greatness, but it's not for everyone...or maybe even for anyone.

While "The Visit" contains many flaws, I do feel like M. Night Shyamalan has learned from most of his mistakes. I felt the passion, focus and energy behind the camera, restoring my hope that maybe...maybe...M. Night isn't a hack who just lucked out. Maybe...

“The Babadook (2014)” movie review.

"The Babadook" is really a terse family drama dressed as a horror flick, although I don't want you to assume that it's not scary. This movie can actually be very terrifying, but it's less about ghosts jumping out at you and more about the psychological deterioration of its protagonist- which is either being caused by the specter or is the cause of the specter.

“The Vatican Tapes (2015)” movie review.

"The Vatican Tapes" is...just...there. It transcends both 'good' and 'bad', being the reason why the term 'mediocre' exists. I feel like I've seen it before in the form of every other possession movie.
