The Films of 2026

Fuck it, I'll say it...I really enjoyed Scary Movie 6. I laughed out loud several times, dug the trippy Shorty dream and didn't expect to see an actor showing a lot of promise in a movie like this - but Olivia Rose Keegan has a lot of talent.

For what it's worth, I'm a Wayans fan (the whole family) and saw it while hitting my Puffco Pivot. Hey...it's Scary Movie son...

I mean, I have no interest in Scary Movie 6, but it’s pretty hard to deny that it’s the kind of film where you know exactly what you’ll be getting.

any reason why there's no thread for Obsession?

I thought Obsession not only delivered on its monkey's paw premise, but also exceeded my expectations by being scarier, funnier and smarter than I had anticipated. Inde Navarrette deserves awards recognition and a long acting career.

I only watched this last night, and I'm still processing it. What I initially thought were weaknesses, such as the ambiguity surrounding the relationship between the two main characters prior to the spell, may actually be strengths. The film could have taken a more obvious approach by condemning incel culture or having the girl reject him outright, but Bear uses the One Wish Willow

at the very moment he should have realised that he may not need to. I think my estimation of the film will increase with another watch, and I too loved how the lore was handled by the magic object coming from a simple New Age crystal store.

It's a great debut feature, and although I'm not particularly excited about Curry Baker's next project being another Texas Chainsaw movie, I read that he already has another movie in the can. With so many interesting new horror filmmakers around, and horror being the most consistently profitable genre, we really are in a new golden age of horror movies.
