>Psycho - I enjoy these more than I thought I would. The first >is obviously classic but II is surprisingly good and III and >IV I didn't think were bad either, not sure if its just >Perkins as Bates. Also reminds me I still need to check out >Bates Motel at some point.
i revere the original to the point that i never wanted to watch the rest given their reputation and lack of hitchcock, who i love. eventually i read about IV and really want to see that one, but it's a bit elusive to me aside from buying it. on your recommendation perhaps i'll just go in order and get to IV the way i usually prefer. i really like perkins. i've been watching a lot of turner classic movies in recent years and seen a lot more of his lower profile work, all of it good.
>Candyman - big fan of the fist one, anyone recommend the >others or should I leave alone?
i adore the first one myself. that's another with stunning visuals that gets under my skin. captivating performance by tony todd.
i've always avoided the sequel given its inferior reputation. amazon prime video this month added a jaw dropping amount of horror and thriller movies so i spent a few hours on IMDb deciding which to add to my watchlist. in the end i decided still not to watch farewell to the flesh even though bill condon directed and he went on to do great work.
while i was on IMDb, i saw that jordan peele was rumored to be remaking candyman.
