The Invisible Man reviews are starting to arrive. And they are very positive.
87% on Rottentomatoes (7.28/10 average rating) an 64/100 on Metacritic.
This gratifyingly clever and, at times, powerfully staged thriller is too rooted in our era to be called old-fashioned — its release, in fact, feels almost karmically synched to the week of the Harvey Weinstein verdict. Yet there’s one way that the movie is old-fashioned: It does an admirable job of taking us back to a time when a horror film could actually mean something.
This serves as a good start to the studio’s approach to re-mining its archives for franchise material, even if it’s unclear whether or not the rot of Tom Cruise’s 2017 The Mummy can ever be forgotten entirely.
[The original 1933 film] is wicked, it’s fun, and in many respects it’s the polar opposite of Leigh Whannell’s absolutely terrifying new reboot, a movie that cares a hell of a lot more about the title villain’s victims than it does about the old invisible bastard.
When you break it down, the horror that Adrian inflicts on Cecilia’s life is textbook gaslighting – manipulating her world in the aim of forcing her to question the nature of her own reality – and Leigh Whannell’s application of that idea is consistently chilling and spine-tingling.
Whannell’s Invisible Man is a sleek upgrade of his past horror work—and, for that matter, of Upgrade, the fun genre exercise he concocted a couple of years ago.
Curious to see how this looks. The test screenings were not very good at all, apparently.

A Quiet Place 2 is tracking towards a $60 million opening weekend. Which would beat the first outing's opening of $50.2 million.

This looks incredible:
Interesting that it only includes the first 8 films, the Paramount films. Now the rights have reverted back to... christ, I can't even remember. I think it's New Line.... you'd think a marathon would include them all. They are including A New Beginning, which has less Jason than Jason Goes To Hell!

Wishmaster vs Leprechaun is absolutely a film I need in my life. But only if Andrew Divoff and Warwick Davis played their respective parts.
I figured as much the entertainment and travel industries are essentially dead
Despite the fact that Wes is no longer with us, I'm excited for this. I must confess though that I haven't seen IV nor the series yet. Apparently the fourth film is the worst, is that true?
Kevin Williamson is producing and I hope that all of the main cast return, David Arquette has been very vocal about wanting to do another one:

Oh and is it just me, or does that Candyman 2020 trailer look awesome? :-?
Ready or Not was also a surprisingly solid horror/comedy film. And I do agree that the new Candyman looks fantastic.
I didn't care for Ready or Not at all but I am looking forward to this new one. I've loved this series since I was a kid. And yes, Scream 4 was definitely the worst but it had some fun moments, particularly the twisty opening. The twist ending and killer revelation was poorly done, in my opinion, which is typically one of the more impactful moments of these films.

Well... I continue to hope for something more like Eraserhead than like, say, Inland Empire.

I'd be happy with something like Mulholland Drive too. ;)
Thanks for the heads up @DaltonCraig007, I will check that out later when I've finished work.
