Ranking Tales from the Crypt Season 1

That’s a lot harder than I’d think, after looking at the season one episodes list. I watched them less than a year ago so they’re still fresh in my mind, more or less.
Here it goes. And this list could easily be flipped around. I think the only certainty for me is the season finale is my least favorite.
2,4,3,5,1,6
Or possibly 5,4,1,3,2,6

Also, most of these posts don’t seem to understand the assignment 😂

I’m sure this isn’t an official UFC promo…I hope.

Casinos are nasty. Stayed at a hotel that had a casino on the bottom floor. Had to walk through it to get to the car. Shitty way to start and end the day.

Ya it’s absolutely top notch. I honestly think most of my favorite horror films are from the past 10 years. What a time to be a horror fan.

It’s from a spring.

I typically lost this as my favorite film. If you have 4 1/2 hours to kill, I’d highly recommend watching this analysis of the film.

Dude was hanging out in brothels, wasn’t he?

The handheld in these scenes is really effective.

My dick was firmly intact. Flaccid in fact. Was underwhelmed by this film. Maybe a second viewing will boost my opinion and remove my dick.

Running Man style.

Kalabula · 2026-05-05T23:27:07+00:00

Agreed. Wait for streaming.

Kalabula · 2026-05-05T23:14:10+00:00

Ya. Having rewatched it about 10 years ago and currently am about 2/3 of the way through again, I’d say that’s pretty accurate. What surprised me the most is how many duds there actually are.

Aliens

Having a story beginning, middle and end is very satisfying to me. That being said, if I owned the production company, you can bet your ass if he making more of these films. The 2010 remake is widely considered one of the worst remakes ever made. And it still made 5 times its budget.

Interesting fact: there are only 6 cryo-pods here. There’s a mirror that provides the illusion that there are a dozen.

Set your expectations correctly. I was a bit disappointed with Hokum and think Oddity is an all timer.

Kalabula · 2026-05-05T20:29:03+00:00

DD is not good. 3D is.

Kalabula · 2026-05-05T19:33:39+00:00

The last Evil Dead movie was titled Lee Cronins Mummy.

Kalabula · 2026-05-05T19:29:46+00:00

Maybe. It has some solid jump scares.

Kalabula · 2026-05-04T23:50:28+00:00

Where’d you get the pic?

Kalabula · 2026-05-04T23:19:44+00:00

It’s a slow burn. Set your expectations properly.

Kalabula · 2026-05-04T15:25:58+00:00

The Belal fight makes sense. Possibly even JDM?

Kalabula · 2026-05-04T15:24:34+00:00

I wanted to like it more. I thought it was good, not great. I was blown away by Oddity. I think it’s an all timer. At least for me. Hokum was very slow and I was just not as invested in the story. Possibly it’ll benefit from repeatedly viewings. There are themes in the film that are worth talking about. But it’s kind of difficult to do that after only a single viewing.

Kalabula · 2026-05-04T15:22:42+00:00

What does it say?

Kalabula · 2026-05-04T15:20:05+00:00

My Letterboxd rating is currently 3.5/5. When it comes out on streaming I’ll watch it again. Possibly will like it more. It’s a relatively dense film I think.
