Hey DeadMeat! Can you do a Kill count on The Breach (2022)? Its about some people investigating a pile of skin without any of the body parts on a boat. One of the kills was so disturbing, it literally haunted me for days

[@air03man]

You’re a mean one Mr. Janisse see what I did there ? now if you excuse me I needed for DISNEYCEMBER blog while you get to the kills!

[@DanGamingFan2846]

See? This is what Blood and Honey was missing. This may be super low budget, with the killer being a well-known childhood icon to grab attention, but you can tell a lot of heart genuine care went into it, with the intention of just having fun making a movie. That's what separates the so bad it's good, from the just plain bad. I love all the nods to other Seuss books and David Thorton made for a great Grinch. And I'm glad James got to host a screening.

[@watershipup7101]

Very much agreed

[@Tes0830]

Also it makes much more sense, since pooh is such a likeable and nice character, while the grinch is an anti hero for most of his movie

[@jesusromanpadro3853]

The killers in Blood and Honey are the more boring slashers I have seen in a movie. At least when they aren't killing.

In the original animated Grinch film he was played by Boris Karloff who was of course famous for the playing the Frankenstein monster so it’s kind of ironic that we now have a Grinch horror movie. Both Boris Karloff and David Howard Thornton spend hours in the make up chair for their horror films.
