  The Amityville Curse 2023

  ★½ Watched 30 May 2023 1

  So you're gonna remake the most obscure Amityville movie from the initial run of features, previously only seen in dingy VHS tapes or the back alley of Hulu until a recent restoration, with a cast of checklist hires that collectively don't have the screen presence of Kim Coates's pinky finger and just have them whine like babies for 90 minutes while Token Black Guy feels like he's auditioning for a reboot of Carlton Banks?

  It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see how it works out for them.

  Smut Without Smut: Satanic Horror Nite 2021

  ★★★½ Watched 30 May 2023

  Largely the same as the three features watched separately, with a fourth I had already seen on VinSyn's All Nite Long discs, but cuts out the extraneous activities and lets you just focus on the batshit production designs and loopy sense of logic all these films operate on, surrounded by retro ads and shorts. Makes for a fun hangout disc just to have playing.

  Seven Stages to Achieve Eternal Bliss 2018

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Apr 2020 2

  For the most part, it's another one of those comedies filled with people that make you go "Oh, them! I love them" and whose humor screams "LOOK HOW FUCKING QUIRKY WE ARE!" that tends to start to stall out two/thirds into it, but it earns an extra half-star due to Sam Huntington's unedited single-take delivery of the backstory behind their need to move from Ohio to LA while laying in a bathtub and talking to an animated bird which had me fucking dying of laughter.
