Pffft. Some of us started thinking about this thread back in July.
Anyway, I don't have any definite list this year beyond the four Evil Dead movies and the first season of Ash. I'll probably watch
It Follows and
Night of the Demons. Plus, I've got a small stack of cheap VHS possibilities, most of which I've never heard of and some of which look kind of shlocky, so I'm hoping to find some entertainment in there somewhere. And like Ack, I've also got quite a few movies saved to my Prime watchlist.
So basically, the possibilities of what I could watch this year feel almost endless and I'm really excited
While I haven't watched anything in my to-do pile yet, I did start warming up by watching a couple of short serial killer documentaries I found on Prime. The first was about H.H. Holmes and the second was about Albert Fish. Both were quite solid and I was surprised by their low star ratings. Though I suspect many of those may be due to too many reviews of "wth? This isn't a movie, it's a documentary!" *sigh*
The Holmes doc is more condensed than the one about Fish. However, the Fish documentary, despite some artistic choices I found questionable, does goes into greater detail about psychology and methodology behind the psycho. I wish the one on Holmes had done similar, but perhaps that wasn't a possibility due to the lack of study around that time period.
Anyway, don't know if films like this are an interest of anybody else, but if they are than these are two solid choices you can check out.
