"Good bad" movie.

Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel 2018
Awful. Nonsensical plot, terrible acting, no scares, and aggressively stupid. One or two OK cliche horror shots don't do anything to elevate this from the very bottom rungs of low budget horror.

Moana 2016
Rewatch: I want to love this film as a Disney fan, a Lin Manuel Miranda fan, and a fan of animation. But it never gets there, despite gorgeous visuals and a couple of wonderful songs.
While Moana is the best version of the modernized Disney princess, her story can't keep up with Elsa's, Judy's, or even Hiro's.
The best Disney films choke me up; this one says "good tunes, great visuals."

In the Mouth of Madness 1994
While cinephiles watch The Thing and devotees jump into Stuart Gordon or the silent Call of Cthulhu, true searchers after (Lovecraftian) horror land here. Do you read Sutter Cane?

Night of the Demons 1988
The epitome of 80s schlock horror? The epitome of all schlock horror? Night of the Demons features bad acting, an overtly canned storyline, and a perfect balance of legitimate mood and madcap ridiculousness. For genre fans and the curious, but superlative in what it does.
