Would 'Insidious: The Red Door' be worth seeing if I've not seen the prior movies?
I only have a vague familiarity with the franchise, does the film stand well on its own, or should I skip it? I have an AMC membership and hate to let tickets go unused if there is something...

I have an AMC membership and hate to let tickets go unused if there is something worthwhile playing, I wouldn't ordinarily consider it if I didn't have the extra tickets.

Dapper Link ParentYeah, 3 per week, averages to 13 per month. If you have the time to go at least three times a month you'll break even, or even be a little bit ahead of paying as you go.Yeah, 3 per week, averages to 13 per month.

Then signed up for AMC membership the start of the month and have been to 7 movies so far in June, will probably do 2 this week, and 2-3 next week.
Without the membership I wouldn't have gone to any of the 7 I've seen this month, and doubt there'd be more than a couple that would draw me in all year. I'd just wait to see some of them at home, others I may never even hear about. Hadn't been paying much if any attention to what's coming.
Pre-covid I had the same membership and really enjoyed seeing films I never would have bothered with otherwise. Caught some real gems simply because I had extra tickets that would go to waste.
For those unfamiliar the membership is $20/mo and comes with 13 tickets, including premium formats (3D, IMax, etc), so even 3 shows a month puts me a bit ahead over buying the tickets outright. Unfortunately my local AMC is a 'Classic' which means it's pretty basic, none of the upgrades like Dolby, has a lieMax though.

From gamboys and a PSP, a Dreamcast with tons of games, a turntable I need to figure out what's wrong with, and other projects...
Somewhat related, and you may already be familiar, but if you like retro I'd recommend checking out Technology Connections on YouTube.

Dapper Link ParentI did the same, really cleaned out my sub list. I was saddened to find just how many subs i enjoyed were staying silent. I don't really expect to spend any more time there at this point.I did the same, really cleaned out my sub list. I was saddened to find just how many subs i enjoyed were staying silent.

Dapper Link ParentMe too, but I'd rather not bring them any engagement. I've logged out everywhere and don't plan to go back, even logged out, except to shutter my account before the end of the month.Me too, but I'd rather not bring them any engagement.

Comment on Any 2022/3 horror/thriller movies that anyone would recommend? in ~movies
Dapper Link ParentCompletely forgot there was another in 2013, I was just remembering the first three from way back. Glad to hear the newer movies kept some originality, will check them out now.Completely forgot there was another in 2013, I was just remembering the first three from way back.

Considering how much the franchise changed since the first movie, would you say it bears any similarity to anything before?
The poster made it feel kinda like it went back toward the roots, more horror than the comedy it evolved into, but more polished than the cult classic, which makes me think it may be more of a knockoff of other recent franchises than actual Evil Dead.
“Good people can disagree.”
We shouldn’t be clones of one another, it’s ok to differ on things, small or large. Someone simply not agreeing with you doesn’t make them a bad person. Likewise, someone simply agreeing with you does not make them a good person. Be kind and forget the nonsense.
