She has an eating disorder. Notice that everything bad she experiences has to do with food or her mouth? Also, she's very thin and has symptoms of anorexia like nose bleeds and her hair falling out. There are some scenes, like in the bank, where everyone should be freaking out, but they're only looking at her. She's hallucinating.

I don't watch a lot of horror, but Drag Me To Hell made me realise you can enjoy like you might a rollercoaster (albeit a rollercoaster that goes 'quiet ... quiet ... HANDKERCHIEF ATTACK !!!)
The Babysitter and its sequel. If you aren't into cheesy ass shit, this ain't for you. It was so fucking goofy and fun the whole way through. Fairly predictable, but it didn't take anything away from it for my partner or me. I was not a fan of the ending of the second movie, but they are still worth watching in their entirety if you aren't trying to take them serious. They almost have horror Home Alone vibes
Longlegs and Speak No Evil were the theater ones. Really enjoyed both of them. I've been watching a short film series on Amazon called Alter. Some rough ones, but a good chunk is well done to make it worth it.
Watched Oddity most recently. The writer/director's previous movie, Caveat, had a super ridiculous premise, but some excellent tension at the end, so I was hoping Oddity would be a good evolution of that. Turned out to be kind of a mixed bag, imo, but I didn't dislike it.
I think it's still worth seeing if you like Caveat, especially since it seems to be a shared universe (the bunny has a brief cameo). I maybe just set my expectations too high going in.
We're organizing Halloween in the neighborhood and my neighbor was talking about doing the scene from the ring. I hadn't seen it so I watched it. A bit slow but not bad.
I then started looking up good scenes for projection from nightmare on elm Street and pet sematary. Kind of skimmed them I had already seen them there not as Good or as bad as I remembered them.
A recent Australian film, Violett. While I had some issues with the plot it was worthwhile for the confident cinematography & oddball/avant-garde direction. Worth a lookie-loo!
I thought the bones of the plot of Longlegs were cool, but found some of the execution (Longlegs himself, and the uh... method) to be jarringly goofy. Liked the first half and the atmosphere, though.
As this is the first of these (and rather late in the month) feel free to dump a list in. We can clear the decks and it will go more smoothly next month.
Yeah, but I mean, we're over 40 now, plus some shows. Such a long and random list is not really useful to anyone. Here's some season-so-far notables instead:
Ready or Not - I had a lot of fun with this one. Super light on the horror, but I had a good time. I would have liked to have played hide and seek in that manor, as long as the stakes aren't so...dire. I think the butler may have been my favorite
The Cabin in the Woods - I loved this movie. It was so fucking funny. The kills were good, and the ending was fantastic. If you enjoy horror comedy I higly recommend it. It is one of my favorites so far
I watched a crazy juggalo movie recently. This clown went on the wildest murder spree, for seemingly no reason. Super gore fest. Great effects though. Somehow a baby doll from the first becomes a little ghost girl in the second movie. I can't wait for Terrifier 3
Mayhem - I guess this counts? I found it to be more action personally. Had a blast with this one. Fun premise, fun characters, fun action. My favorite from Samara Weaving for sure
