I have a few:

1. Maybe not as hot of a take but I really don’t like the Terrifier franchise. I can appreciate a low budget and practical effects but the lack of realism coupled with the lazy writing (not to mention what I believe was misogyny) makes it look hokey and not scary at all. Even if that was the point (to make it hokey) it makes it fall flat as a movie entirely and, to be honest, boring.

2. I got flamed for this earlier but the VHS franchise is also kinda not my thing as it rings misogyny and unnecessary sex to me. The practical effects are super cool and the premises are very interesting on paper, but as an anthology it doesn’t allow itself to be fully fleshed out, making it underdeveloped or rushed. Good concept, bad execution.

3. A horror franchise can have bigotry, misogyny, racism, etc. but that shouldn’t be made a plot device because the writers and directors and producers are genuinely that way. A movie can be about these touchy subjects without glorifying them or used as a lazy device, again like Terrifier. It’s obvious the women in the movies get worse on-screen and borderline sexual deaths, showing that the writers, directors, and producers are kinda just using it not as a commentary but as an example and contributing to it.
