How could a movie like this flop? I mean sure, more than…
The 2013 version is the same but different. It’s mostly different. Same cabin, similar chain of events, some of the lines from the original were imported for the fanboysandgirls to point and clap at, but otherwise it’s just a modern horror movie seen-one-you-seen-em-all post-2000 remake. An even number of boys and girls go into the…

I don’t know shit…

A cop has her first night on the job babysitting a decommissioned and aggressively-haunted police station on it’s last shift, and wacky hi-jinks ensue! I hate her job already. All alone in this place and goofy shit happens all night long. Like the dead are excited that someone is there, and they wanna show off….
This is one of those movies that everyone is internetting about, you probably saw it just after Midsommar and just before The Terrifier. It’s a movie about Peter. Peter has a weird sister, and they both live in a “shoes off” house. You know, walk in the front door and everyone has to take off…
