Seconded. I don't know how all you F-Heads are so clever and funny, but it was a blast reading everyone's reviews. The overall quality was the best ever!
Midnight is an hour away here, so that's it for me. Thank you to everyone for another great Scary Movie Month, Happy Halloween, and the final count will be posted at some point tomorrow.
And for my 98th and final 7-word review of SMM 2025, what else? A 1970's animals attacking humans made-for-TV movie. 😁
ANTS! IT HAPPENED AT LAKEWOOD MANOR (1977, KINO LORBER DVD).
Poisonous colony diminishes old hotel's market value.
OR
Bernie Casey AND Brian Dennehy? Hell yeah.
OR
Filled with throwaway tension, romance, non-threatening action.
I concur with the sentiment that, while posts/review numbers are down this year, the quality of the seven-word reviews stood out more than usual. I'll take fewer better wtitten reviews than record-setting numerous ones that go through the motions. See you in early 2026 for the online/social media film festival, you filthy maggots! 👋😀
