    They nailed with X (2022), but I think they screw it with their sequels. I know a lot of people that claim that every movie is superior, one by another (Pearl and MaXXXine), the same thing happened with Terrifier, the first movie is awesome, but the sequels… uggghh.

    Edit: M3GAN was funny, but happened the same thing whit the sequel.

    Edit 2: My favorite horror movie sequel is Hellraiser II

      Just watched the trilogy over the weekend and I’ve got to disagree almost entirely with you. X is awful, awful, Maxine is okay but barely horror, and Pearl is actually a really great movie

      E: same thing with Terrifier. 1 is forgettable, 3 is masturbatory, but 2 is phenomenal

        I personally would flip that. X is meh, pearl is fantastic, but Maxxxine isn’t great.

        Honestly, X is better after watching Pearl, but I still prefer the prequel.
