    Alien Romulus, all Terrifiers, & a Quiet Place were brain-dead shyte. Annihilation & IT2 was lame. the Descent was boring af. The Babadook was a joke. It Follows failed to be scary. Cloverfield wasn't scary, but it WAS stupid.

    The host was excellent, when i got to like #7 i was thinking "how is that not on here"….. good list, missed a few though for sure…..Cloverfield was not that great at all imo. Big miss on not having the ritual

    quitet place… why can't the monsters hear humans: breath, heartbeat…ummm stomach making noises, creaking bone noises, that "glup" when you swallow? um…reg ass foot steps. those ear holes look like they can hear a mouse fart 5 miles away while inside a bank vault. LOL I did really like the movie.

    Another typical mojo list.
    Godzilla minus 1 should have been NUMBER ONE.
    And not having Jeepers Creepers one or 2 , signs, exists, 30 days of night,or dark skies is disappointing for sure.

    THIS VIDEO IS SO FASCINATING AND FANTASTIC THAT I AM NOT JUST GOING TO WRITE THIS PROBABLY LONG WINDED COMMENT BUT I ALSO HAD TO CREATE AN INDIVIDUALIZED LONG NAME TO PUT IT IN MY SAVE CATALOG
    NOW GETTING BACK TO THE COMMENT, I AM ONLY 17:35 minutes into the video and I AM ALREADY COMING ACROSS MOVIES THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. AND I THINK THAT THIS IS ONLY NUMBER. NINETEEN
    YOU KNOW WHAT, I WILL TAKE A BREAK HERE AND GO BACK TO THE VIDEO AND WITH ANY LUCK I WILL EITHER PASS OUT AND FORGET ABOUT THIS AND JUST LEAVE THIS ALONE. OR MAYBE I WILL BE BACK LATER
