This is a brilliant take on Frankenstein like ideas. First off, from a technical aspect, it is superlative. Amazing and beautiful sets and set design, gorgeous and incredible costumes, gorgeous use of color and imagery, and stunning camera work, all add to the awe striking visual aesthetic of it.
The acting is excellent, especially that of Emma Stone who gives the performance of a lifetime. Her own natural beauty adding to the aforementioned beauty of this flick.
The script is…

Satanic Hispanics 2022
Being half Latino and having a life long love for horror movies, I was genuinely pumped for this anthology. And, I really wanted to like it.
But, it ends up being boring, annoying, not funny, overlong, and uninteresting.
It does have a good cast (including a cameo from one of my favorite scream queens Jessica Cameron), some good gore, and the climax is great. But, that's too little too late. This is this year's biggest disappointment so far.

Friday the 13th 1980
One of the true classics of the slasher genre, this is one of the very best and scariest from that subgenre. It stands head and shoulders above the rest of the series, which quite frankly by the second film was already rehashing itself. Unlike those and others like it the characters are mostly fleshed out and, gasp, they're even likable!
The gore is excellent, but emphasis on suspense helps greatly. It leads to an awesome and exhilarating climax with an excellent final girl and a great villain.
A huge, personal favorite of mine. -
A Bucket of Blood 1959
This is such a fun, funny, and wonderful first comedy. It's got a great plot and is excellently paced. Is also got a hell of a performance by Dick Miller, one of his very best. And, despite being the "villain", he's so incredibly likable and oh so funny! Is also one of Corman's very best. Truly a sometimes unsung masterpiece!
