You're Next (2011)

Nicole and I watched You're Next (2011), which was a (bloody, murderous) romp! Not the most inventive plot, but redeemed by good pacing, zany, dark, deadpan humor, and a badass female lead. This one had some similar vibes to Ready or Not (2019).

Hush (2016)

Thanks to Nicole for kicking off the top 100 countdown with me! First of the season was Hush (2016), a slasher with a strong female lead who is deaf and mute. This was interesting from a plot perspective (cf The Quiet Place), and I always enjoy seeing sign language represented in films (learned the sign for "bitch" haha), but unfortunately this was pretty much the only interesting part. As Nicole said, pretty standard cat-and-mouse stuff. And the gross violence/gore was frankly pretty gratuitous.

Must say, I'm not impressed with Mike Flanagan, who also did Gerald's Game, which sucked.

Scream (1996)

 The original teen slasher. This movie terrified me when I first saw it, and it still does. I can never look at a glass sliding door the same way again.
