Pic related is mine. Such a solid movie. From being a critique of consumerism to racism, to an action movie, to comedy at some points. And while it might not be scary in the traditional sense, the opening scenes detailing the chaos around a news station trying to remain calm during the end of the world are done pretty well and set the mood for surviving the apocalypse.
lately I've enjoyed repeated viewings of Doctor Sleep. it's not the scariest or whatever and there's not a lot to analyze with it, but it all just works. the in world baddies feel real, the goodies and normal people aren't one dimensional and kinda have their own shit going on, which is something I can count on in Stephen King stuff.
and it has some sequences where the good guys get to have their victories and "scare" the baddies that felt good.
stories where none of the tension of injustice is released until the climax can be exhausting.
I wonder how much qanon pulled from that book in regards to the whole torturing and eating kid's souls psychic vampire bit.
