Potential to do something with these old "kids" characters is there but if it's just going to be a generic slasher with children's characters like this movie was then I'm not interested.

I’m curious as to why you had hope? I mean its a disgrace that they even thought to do something like that with these characters. You couldn’t pay me to watch it.

I want to see them do Beauty and the Beast next. That's got some potential for a gothic horror. Pinocchio also.

" You forgot the first rule of Mass Media Elliot! Give the people what they want!" Lol! James Bond to Media Mogul Elliot Carver.

I mean, I'm all about fucked up movies as most know here, especially one with a good story line. I could of wrote a better story than what this was. There was no story. I didn't expect some Oscar performance or screen play, but I always have hope for these weird movies. It was literally like any slasher movie.

I'd be down for beauty and the beast, its public domain. So you saw Blood and Honey?

Saw John Wick 4 last night, was incredible to say the least. It's both more of what we've seen in the first 3 plus so so much more. An epic. New bar for action movies going forward. See this movie in theaters!!!!

Will also add I have 2 complaints with Wick 4, one is that 3 hours is just way too long for a movie with minimal dialogue and 3/4 of it being guys getting shot, stabbed, or otherwise maimed and killed. Fatigue set in at a certain point (near the very end...involving stairs...the person I went with saw it and just say "well, he's gonna kill a bunch of guys, i'll be back in a few" and went and smoked). I can immediately think of one scene that could have been cut down to reduce the run time. Other complaint is it's just too far into Fast and Furious territory with how unrealistic this is. I can suspend disbelief for a lot of this but when we have a regular human repeatedly falling off high things or getting literally thrown into moving cars and walking it off it is just too much for me. That said, these are really mild complaints and it's definitely a theater watch.

I'm not reading these yet as I have managed to go without watching more than 5 seconds of the trailer. Prolly gonna see it Thursday during the day, will report back

The most generic thing I can say is if you've liked the other three you'll definitely like this.

It has gotten more ridiculous with each installment. I still love it but I know what you mean about the thrill of the mass killing wearing off.

Again, I will be renting that one on streaming for sure.
