NIGHT TWENTY-ONE:
A campy, queasy delight from start to finish. Tobe Hooper, Ted Levine, Robert Englund, and the rest of the cast all knew exactly what they were doing, and the result is a lot of fun if you're tuned into that same precise Stephen King fever-dream wavelength.

NIGHT NINETEEN:
A pretty great face-off between Karloff and Lugosi that feels almost like a natural precursor to the quasi-romantic best-frenemies tension between Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen in the X-Men movies.

NIGHT FOURTEEN:
Definitely more of a vibes-over-plot movie for me, I appreciated the overall texture but reading further I think I might need to see the version with the Alloy Orchestra score over it to get the full effect.

NIGHT FIFTEEN:
A very uneven attempt at capturing the same postmodern horror-satire tone of something like Cabin in the Woods or Behind the Mask, but too scattershot in the specific tropes that it's targeting to really land. Part of me wonders if Netflix snapped this one up purely based on a certain reveal in the film.

NIGHT TWELVE:
This one definitely goes to prove that some filmmakers come out of the gate making brilliant movies, and other have to kind of work up to it over their first two or three. I can definitely see the seeds of some of Ti West's better movies in this one, but at this point the elements just aren't quite coming together.
