In January I was laid off from my job. With the being said I got a decent severance that allows me to get around the house to clean up things and catch up on my movies. So I made February an all month long movie marathon of movies I've had stacked in collection. All of these will be first time watches.

Still have to catch this one, probably before the next one comes out. What did you think of it?

I honestly thought it was better then X. COVID restrictions show but they tried to make it work.

The film is a little too long but I enjoyed it. Not sure why the reviewer on this site hated it so much. XD

Just out of curiosity, other than movies you've not seen before, is there any particular order to your choices?

Oh no. I'm just grabbing movies from stacks or the shelf. I was pretty much on consistent overtime for the last 2 to 3 years so all these are films I've bought through sales, random purchases or gifted.
Cool. Hope you enjoy watching them all.

Pretty much the only "dud" I've had so far is The One Armed Executioner. Everything else I've enjoyed so far. I normally try to sit and think about film before giving a "final verdict".

Wow, deep cut! What'd you think?
I saw this about 20 years ago and found it pretty interesting. Although the production quality is Troma-inspired DIY, the product is not trash, iirc. There's a surprising amount of effort invested in fleshing out the teen killers, with a tone that's neither totally sympathetic nor judgmental. Director/co-star William Hellfire seems to have managed to release more features every few years since.

Overall (without getting too political and as someone in 9th grade when this shooting happened), I think it's one of the most honest and sincere takes on the shooting and the layers of problems that cause events like this. Also for what the film makers had to work with I think they did a good job and honestly one of the better shot on video movies. I can't recommend it to everyone but it is a film that is still relevant and has something to say.

As silly, stupid and exploitative as you think. I encourage this in modern cinema.
