Please rank the Saw movies, I would love to hear your current opinion

[@awhyeahalicia]

Yes!!!

[@worldgoingbymywindow8626]

Agreed!

[@Jprager]

Awww I miss the Saw Saturdays

[@loganprawecki3198]

i was going to say that!

[@xRainxBowxBritex]

yes!!

[@earlkhentpermites8506]

My eyes went directly to the Uzumaki manga! So glad you're getting into Junji Ito's works. I can't wait for you to collect everything.

[@hooklineandinker]

I LOVED Fractured. I did look up the plot while watching because I am impatient but I did love it.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

I had a lot of fun watching Fractured!

[@mtaffer]

One of the best movies I watched this past Halloween season

[@LjayLovee24]

I love that you go into a small review for each movie! It feels like a whole bunch of small reviews in one place and I am absolutely here for it❤️❤️

[@joeertman]

Love the temporary set up

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

"Sorry, I got distracted as people walk by* (Me) OMG, her apt is haunted. Lol.

[@lh2354]

That bathroom scene from Mirrors scarred me so bad when I was a kid. Glad that you liked this movie, Sarah!

[@federicomiyagi8366]

I saw that movie a few years ago when I was on high school and for two whole years every time I entered on the bathroom I avoided the mirror

[@LilTheLah]

I finally watched Escape Room in February and absolutely loooved it!

[@desicatedlimbs]

Valentine with David Boreanaz is one of my favorite lost gems for the holiday, it is a slasher horror and I looooove it 💕💕

[@codywilson1039]

Gotta love a KoRn sticker lol

[@PossessedbyHorror]

fave band 😬

@@PossessedbyHorror I definitely respect that, Head is one of my favorite guitarist and person in general 😂

i’ve watched you both for so long now, i’m so happy you’re doing these videos too!

[@AlannaMarie]

fractured is SO GOOD omg i’ve seen it a couple of times now and the end still gets me!! it’s so crazy

[@rainbowFRIGHT]

I like the new background. Looking forward to checking some of these out, especially Synchronic. I'm surprised Fractured isn't well liked either, I definitely liked that one.

[@esoteric76]

I remember seeing My Bloody Valentine in 3D with my friends and we had a BLAST! Not great, but we got exactly what we wanted for that experience! Thank you for this list!! Amazing as usual.

[@tabithaxreads]

Really loving these videos! Love seeing what you’ve recently watched 🖤 xx

[@saragurlpurr]

Loveeeee these videos thanks for doing them babe!

[@ryanhilario8699]

Girl I recommend you watch the movie "Apocalypto" it has some really good gore in it that I think u would really like.

[@nandadoc]

Love that movie!

[@federicomiyagi8366]

I know many people hated the fact that the movie was directed by Mel Gibson and they saw it a bit racist but as a Mexican I had to say that the movie was great and he is a great actor/director

[@JohnMicius]

Ghostland, from the director of Martyrs, is really good

[@c1975stark]

lmao when someone knocked on your door and you were like... oh my god. That was a mood! :P

[@PossessedbyHorror]

I hate unexpected guests lol

[@NessieKang]

Omg, your cat is adorablllle!! 😩😍 I like this setup, but it is pretty echo-y

[@rythehorrorguy2851]

Have you watched "The Dark and the Wicked" yet now that it's been added to Shudder? It's excellent that's my recommendation! Enjoy!

[@adam-l74]

I saw The Dark And The Wicked, didn’t care for it but it was interesting, I would like to Sarah’s review\ take on it.

[@futzimcflipp9503]

Some solid reviews of known films, a couple I added to my watchlist, overall ace video.

[@organman77]

I really enjoyed Fractured! Thanks for sharing it and talking about it!

[@Brian-lf4zg]

just discovered your channel and i personally love your videos

[@plantcrime]

I LOVE LOVE LOVED Fractured! It constantly had me second-guessing and I thought it was so effective. I saw it about six months ago and I’ve already rewatched it.

[@andresoriano9210]

i love the new filming space omg

[@cherry-poppins]

This filming position is great, can we get a vinyl collection review since I see a turntable :D

[@blinkered3439]

Love these letterbox videos:)

[@vickytime3855]

Always excited to see what you've been watching and liking!! Edit: I'd like to know your opinion on Spontaneous. Not necessarily a horror but definitely has bloody elements. Also, since you watched Synchronic you should watch Resolution and then The Endless. In that order.

[@emiluhh]

I did a Saw rewatch a few months ago. My fav series for sure. Would love a full breakdown from you!

[@devfaded9351]

You got Scythe in the background! That's such a good book

[@keavabonner1625]

Fantastic book

[@federicomiyagi8366]

@@keavabonner1625 what is it about?

[@keavabonner1625]

@@federicomiyagi8366 it's a dystopian novel about how people have conquered death but there are these people called scythes that have been assigned with the task of controlling the population. They are the only ones who have the ability to take life.

[@nveletkoslin33771]

i think i'm the only person who thought it was such a boring book that wasted a great plot like that😩

[@Arielliz2]

So cool that you add clips from the movies, must be a lot of work but worth it!

[@LisaLoves]

Some nice movies in Feb. I had to start doing my 'What I watched' as weekly. The monthly ones were getting sooo long. I really enjoyed Fractured. I recommend Bloody Hell on Shudder and Trial by Fire on Netflix. I'm a massive fan of the SAW franchise so I look forward to that video!

[@OBCDeeznutz]

I really enjoyed Mirrors. And ohmahgunness I completely forgot about those car things! Keeping the hand on it until you were the last one. That was a mind trip.

[@leilahasanov3585]

Omg I see Scythe on your shelf, I’m currently reading it and am loving it

[@ANDREVILAFRANCA]

I'd like to hear your thoughts on THE VAST OF NIGHT.

[@LegalVampire]

I’d love to hear you talk about what it’s like to have a lot of your life revolve around horror. Like if you feel that consuming a lot of horror content affects your mindset in any positive or negative ways that you’ve noticed 🙂

[@heatherduke5410]

Seeing Jamie Dornan in the first movie makes me wonder why Fifty Shades didn't let him keep his beard(which he had in The Killing and in OUAT).

[@shellraiser1113]

Sarah, please watch The Dark And The Wicked. I don't scare easily but this one got me.

[@vickytime3855]

I have this on my watch list. Glad to see someone recommend it.

[@crimsonangel4457]

Oh yeah, Mirrors! I remember putting that movie on to play in the background while I would do things around the house. Then I would run into the room from wherever just to watch the bathroom scene lol Cheesy but fun. Glad you got to see it.

[@jessgamble1798]

My partner and I watched Synchronic for Valentines Day, it’s honestly reminds me of an acid trip but we really liked it. I’ll actually be watching Possessor this afternoon after my university class

[@amyCullen11]

Mirrors used to be my comfort horror movie 😂 I’m gonna have to watch it again, I haven’t seen it in years

[@juanherrera8731]

Possessed by horror thank you for February letterboxd movies recaps

[@ohheysaraah]

Mirrors was my first horror movie 😂 i couldn‘t watch in mirrors after I watched it for days 😅

[@ElisavetQ]

Ah I love Escape Room as well!! It is such a fun thrilling movie!!

[@AngieWade]

I didn’t hear an echo in this location. I’m glad you started doing this series, I really like it. My cat is noisy in his litter box. I always say he’s going to dig his way to the center of the Earth. Ha Ha

[@m.j.r2373]

I love Hands on a Hard Body, it's so good, they even made a play about it

[@sailorrupert93]

I thought that your shirt said "OYSTER" for the entirety of this video until I realized how unlikely that would be

[@Hillary429]

I was surprised at how much I loved Greyhound. I mean of course I love Tom Hanks and I was so sad for his character and the road that lies ahead for him. But mostly I just could not believe how they manually tracked, calculated and communicated all of the moving ships and torpedos just a few decades ago.

[@daveyhall4821]

Has anyone watched “The Final Girls” ? Bunch of teens transported back in time into camp slasher flick.

[@jen5487]

I love that movie! Totally underrated!

[@Saturdaynightdrive-in]

I was never a Jeremy Renner fan either until I watched "Wind River". I think it's top 5 in the last 20 years. It's not horror but psychological drama that will keep your eyes glued to the screen. Give it a chance if you haven't seen it.

[@artdogdeb]

OMG, thank you for mentioning Wind River!!! Absolutely wonderful movie. And the subject it addresses, missing and murdered indigenous women, is so timely and so important. Yet instead of being preachy, it's a thrilling mystery. I'm not a big Jeremy Renner fan either, but he knocked it out of the park in this one. And Elizabeth Olsen was incredible!

[@mangoxfett]

i just watched the dark and the wicked the other day. that one really creeped me out. you should do a review on it. :)

[@Manon12092000]

Fractured is amazing in my opinion, I watched it with my partner last year and we were baffled ! I wish I could erase my memory to rewatch it !

[@LaurenSalz]

I really stem my fear of mirrors of 16+ years to watching Mirrors as a kid

[@briannabarton3133]

Some good horror i have watched recently was Vile, The Facility, Starve and The Good Neighbor. The Good Neighbor was probably the best and the ending was so unpredictable and blew my mind

[@viktoria2823]

yesssssss MANHUNT was incredible

[@RobKnapp1]

"First Time Views" are a wonderful thing ! Thank you for sharing :)

I loveeee Fractured😍😍

[@tarareads23]

Definitely checking out Fractured - not the same of course but I think of the movie Coma when you mentioned this. Mirrors - you had me at abandoned dept. store. Love just about anything abandoned whether in fiction or real life. Synchronic - Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan- that’s it. That’s the comment. lol So yeah adding these to my list. Oh and doing a Saw watch/rewatch.

[@meanestmachine]

Gonna join you in the Saw marathon. I have only seen the first one and didn’t like it because I had hyped it so much in my head as a child so that when it was so tame I was disappointed. I think I have a better perspective now.

[@erinadams9491]

Sorry if you already covered this and I missed it, but I am DYING to know your thoughts/opinion on The Uninvited. It's classic cheese 2000s but has (IMHO) one of the best and coolest twist endings that I truly did not see coming at all.

[@user-mr3tn3nm7q]

I see your Bullets vinyl behind your HP Illustrated collection. We are the same person, just FYI haha

[@lillinickell9931]

watch the ruins on amazon prime so good but has the 2000s cheese so i think you’ll like it! also has shawn ashmore from frozen and the following which was also amazing:)

[@itsjustthewind]

The pickaxe facepull from my bloody valentine in 3d was awesome...wish you had a way to see it properly.

[@osonhodeleon]

I love wrap up videos.

[@rylee4268]

i only watched 12 movies in february too! i just really wasn’t feelin it this month but at the end of 2020 i was watching like 45 movies per month 😳

[@rebeccassweetmusic4632]

This is not really a horror movie. It's a mystery/drama, but I feel like this could be a psychological horror movie, and that is Agnes of God. It's a movie from the 80s featuring Jane Fonda, Anne Bancroft, and Meg Tilly, and it's based on a play of the same name. It's super dark and intense, but an incredible film I've never seen before until today. There's a disturbing hypnosis scene that is supposed to explain what happened to the nun Agnes, and... wow... I mean, Meg should've gotten an Oscar just for that scene alone 😳.

[@meganr7630]

I LOVED Fractured! I didnt realize it was unlike either..

[@jeff8835]

Gonna have to look for Hands on a Hard Body!! Thanks 😁

[@actfray]

I'm also a fan of Brad Anderson. If you've never seen his movie, "Stonehurst Asylum," you should definitely add it to your list. It's probably his best film, with an ending that's a knockout.

[@KileySmith]

Sarah, did you watch Antebellum? I would love to know your thoughts if you have, because I personally liked it but when I read the letterboxd reviews they were so bad! Love your videos btw :)

[@adam-l74]

I really wanna rewatch Mirrors, I haven’t seen it since back in the day.

[@chezlolxo]

Sarah I think you’d really enjoy the UK Netflix series (hopefully it’s on US Netflix) Behind Her Eyes. Not what it seems on the surface and some really shocking interesting moments!

[@emmauffelman7709]

this series was SO good

[@jellogirl2010]

Spellbound with Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck was one of the only movies that I watched that wasn't a rewatch. BUT... it was SO GOOD!

[@crocen11]

Recommendations for March: Antebellum if you haven't seen it. Definitely worth a watch. And The Nightmare, a horror-documentary about sleep paralysis.

[@honeyswords]

me and my bf really enjoyed fractured! Absolutely love the main actor

[@courtneyperdue7827]

I just finished marathoning the saw movies... I love them

[@marissabones]

I'm definitely subscribing

[@ireymm]

HOLY SH*T i watched Mirrors at the theater when it came out and i fucking loved it back then, i completely forgot about it tho! Thanks for reminding me of it's existence lol

[@kanleep.6837]

I would love to hear your thoughts on Sorority Row and Freaky from last year

[@everythingthatsjess]

Appreciate when you add what you watched the movie on ... such as Tubi/shudder/netflix :)

[@jen5487]

Love Jeremy Renner. Have you watched Wind River? It's such a powerful movie.

[@obscuregurl9950]

Were you saying Susan?? Caught me off guard, that’s my name and I thought maybe I was the one tripping. Lol Just wanted to say, you are such my favorite, we seem to have the same taste in so many things!!! Thank you for just being you. ☺️💕 * also I loved Fractured.... I was surprised you said it was not received well by critics. I mean Lily Rabe, come on!!!

[@paigest.laurent5784]

Since you like escape room movies, I’d kinda like to hear your thoughts on No Escape that came out last year. It’s on Hulu. It’s not the best movie by any means but the twist got me regardless of it being predictable.

[@rachelrenee198]

I never finished Mirrors. That scene where his reflection like rips his face in half...🥺😳

[@isismercado4932]

I really enjoyed Fractured as well, Cast was great, pacing was good, overall I had a good time.

[@KellieValentine]

I just paused your video to go watch Fractured and I think people may not have liked it because it's a pretty predictable horror concept that has been done better by other movies. I loved the casting for his wife and child but the protagonist was so unlikeable throughout. On the other hand, I completely agree with your liking of Saint Maud so I'll always check out films that you recommend watching!

[@bridey7521]

you should create a list of easter themed horror movies bc i can’t think of any

[@catssayquack]

100% agree with you on Synchronic! Very predictable towards the end

[@asho5365]

I saw your Uzumaki manga in the back! Do you like Junji Ito? If so, have you read anymore of his works? My favorite manga by him is of course Uzumaki and Shiver!

[@MRACTION64]

that background is fire

[@cindynoel67]

Lol!!! My husband and I actually saw My Bloody Valentine 3D at the theatre and it was really fun. We both actually ducked on some of the 3D parts. :)

[@paultomaszewski1964]

I'm a little surprised you have never seen "The Hurt Locker". 2010 Oscar for Best Pic and Best Director, Kathryn Bigalow.

[@AmmoGlitter]

Would love to hear your thoughts on THE EMPTY MAN, it's such a crazy surreal movie and I think it got a really unfair go from both the studio (who badly mis-marketed it) and the critics

[@daisyegan7944]

have you watched the show hannibal? i started it a few months ago since they added it to netflix and i would love for you to review it!!

[@macabria_]

"Mirrors" is kind of a remake of a korean movie "Into the mirror" from 2003. You should also check that out. I think they both have something on their own.

[@dahliasdarkside1695]

Oh I LOVE Uzumaki by Junji Ito! Great taste!

[@davidk3184]

I agree on Fractured. Everyone around me hated it but I thought it was a tight little psychological thriller. Not brilliant, but not everything needs to be. I love Mirrors. Gonna seek out Synchronic. Also I definitely don't mind hearing about non-horror movies and opinions on those as well. Would be handy though to have the entire list onscreen 'just as Emma does' though for easy reference (then again I could also get paper & pencil 🤔) I really do enjoy these videos. 👍

[@screamcollective8661]

If you enjoyed the first Mirrors, you gotta try Mirrors 2 (2010), they take those bathroom scenes to another level!
