How'd you find that "Summer of '84" one?

Finally watched, "The Host" (2020) UK Shudder film after Hammerfan had recommended it. It was interesting. Fairly predictable but it was kind of fun.

Also watched, "The Witch" (2015). I thought it was excellent. A friend had recommended it. He said he liked it a lot but that it was slow. I think any faster and it wouldn't have had the same appeal. Reminded me of something Dante Tomaselli might have done if he had ever had a budget and a really good crew.

I'm glad you enjoyed "Host"! You're exactly right, it was predictable, but, fun. I've re-watched it a couple times.

I also like "The Witch". Although, I didn't like the ending. I would have done it differently.

Witch was slow -- poster child for the 'slow burn'. I agree, if it was faster it wouldn't make the same impact, as Alien and Rosemary's Baby.

That was actually the one I was talking about. Don’t even remember Super Dark Times.

I think that was the 90's based one...I only saw the trailers, it actually looked alright.
Some kind of fuck up leads to an accidental death or some such, and it's kind of about the friend group turning on each other etc
