Is this a franchise that feels like it belongs in the all-time conversation?
Yeah, that's true.
Does classiness get in the way a bit?
Speaking of disreputable, I think the next movie would fall in that category.
It's 1987's Hellraiser.
Of course, about an evil puzzle box that when you manipulate it, it calls a bunch of demons.
We're not going to move Hellraiser along.
1988's Child's Play.
We're going into the 90s now.
Sorry to leave the 80s.
Just the best decade.
Okay, we'll move it along.
This modern slasher franchise is the one that...
most reminds people of the tropes of a horror movie.
You watch horror movies in part because, particularly with franchises, you know they're predictable.
And this franchise wears all of that on its sleeve.
And there's something that is entertaining and enjoyable about that.
The characters that have lasted across six movies now, I think people have great affection for Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox.
