CUDDLY TOYS (2022): A mondo-style experimental mockumentary about the dangers facing today's teenage girls and refuses to shy away from the worst case scenario. An extremely angry feminist film that drapes its indignation in a layer of low-budget camp irony, which somehow both blunts and sharpens its impact.  3/5.

I always feel like The Void, Event Horizon and In the Mouth of Madness belong together, even the endings don't quite fit in.

Watch the two sequels to the Lost Boys.  One isn't very good, the other isn't that bad. 

The Lost Boys: The Tribe
This movie desperately wants to be just like the original, but lacks the charm, wit, and memorable characters that The Lost Boys had. It does have surfing vampires, though. Corey Feldman returns as Edgar Frog, but he really feels too old for the role he's playing, making it harder to buy him as this badass vampire hunter they want you to see him as.  Tom Savini has a small cameo at the beginning, but it feels completely wasted, as he's gone almost as soon as he appears. There are a few fun moments scattered throughout, but overall it feels like a generic direct-to-video vampire movie wearing The Lost Boys name.

The Lost Boys: The Thirst
This one is far superior. It's still not as good as the original, but it's genuinely enjoyable. It fully leans into its more over-the-top nature and embraces the fact that Edgar Frog is past his prime and not nearly as badass as he wants people to think he is. It does this without ever making him feel mocked or turning him into a joke. This time around, Edgar is trying to stop a massive vampire rave fueled by blood from the original head vampire, which is being distributed as a drug that transforms users into vampires. They even give Edgar a team of vampire hunters in this one and bring back The OTHER Frog brother.  The whole thing is over the top but the movie knows exactly what it is. While it never exactly reaches the heights of the 80s classic, it's a fun B-movie sequel and easily the better of the two follow-ups.

Quote from: Alex on July 23, 2026, 12:47:16 PMI watched the first Winnie the Pooh one, found it poor enough to kill any interest in watching more in that franchise. I've seen a few of the other childhood-based ones like the Micky and Minnie Mouse horrors, the Popeye one (watching it and then the sequel after atm), as well as the Banana Splits one that came out a while back. So far, the best I've seen would rate as ok, but not memorable in any way, but doubtless one night shift I'll delve more into the shared universe movies.
The Banana Splits one was actually really good, I thought.  Gorier than I expected as well. 

Of course, I say this having absolutely no emotional connection to the 'Splits before seeing this movie.
