Unearthed - An anti-fracking horror movie starring Adrienne Barbeau. Unfortunately it’s too unbalanced and is mostly a drama until 3/4 way through when they shove in some horror.

Highlander the Source - 2007

Good lord. It's disappointing just like the one before it. On one hand I know Adrian Paul, Peter Wingfield and Jim Byrnes probably thought, play their character, hang out, have a good time and get paid. so I don't blame the actors for bad material. On the other hand the story is like what if we take the worst possible story for a really bad episode and drag it out to an hour thirty. The Guardian may as well have been Beetlejuice if he were an immortal from the series crossed with the guy from - The Cell.
Really unhappy with Methos this go round. He's usually a clever guy but this time not so much. The dialog was not very strong and that's me being polite.

If you skip this movie you wont be missing anything. The 4th one as bad as it is is better.

Lastly, they didn't use the sounds, like they did in the series, for the immortals. The sounds that tell the viewers the Immortals sense each other. But they mention at one point, "Why couldn't I sense you". Swing and a miss.

Spoony did a great review of it years ago on YouTube. Just about broke him

Oh yes, Jason Takes Manhattan and Jason in Space I watched. I might be ignorant to the Friday the 13th series, but I do try to keep up with the important films.

Not quite sure it was THAT which broke him in the end , but Spoony to me is one of the major reasons (lack of talent, drive, etc notwithstanding ) why I do not want to be a streamer or internet personality of any sort. And the whole youtuber thing hasn't become any less icky over the past ~10 years, that's for sure.

What, no love for Jason Lives: Part VI? It’s fan favorite

No. Wait. I’ve got most of them on Prime.

That means nothing. If the past few years have shown me anything, it’s that owning digital copies is more like “extended borrowing” and they can take it back whenever they want and not compensate you. Physical media is the only way to actually own something.

Friday the 13th is also a useful pub quiz trick question, as of the original ten? Jason is the killer in only 8 of them.

That honestly depends on your interpretation of the movies. While not as complicated as trying to figure out the Halloween series timeline, you still need a small flowchart to figure out the Jason timeline. I mean, technically, he melted in toxic sewer waste in part VIII

Yes. It was a great “cursed object of the week” series. If I recall it fit between She Wolf of London and Buffy.

I wonder if it is on Tubi, they seem to have all the old syndicated TV stuff.

It’s so obscure you can actually watch a lot of the series on YouTube without even having to hide the title or anything
