A fun semi slasher that is simultaneously a love letter to the communal experience that is watching movies at the theatre, as well as a tribute to William Castle-like movies/ gimmicks. There are some very nice elements to this, like the movie cult, the protagonist with a…
Lou (rhymes with wow!)Jan 22, 2024"Everything is a movie to me!" A bunch of weird looking film students put on an all night horror festival at an old abandoned cinema which is then followed by all kinds of horror shenanigans after they find a film called the Possessor (not holding out for a sequel as…

jourdain searlesFeb 8, 2019Popcorn is a total blast. The most bombastic Halloween party in a movie theatre known to man. One of the most uniquely original horror films of the 90s. I hadn't seen it in years and I was totally loving it. Quirky characters, inventive kills, psychedelic dream sequences,…

nathaxnne [goodbye <3]Aug 30, 2022Popcorn is exactly the type of gleeful horror movie I love. You’ve got a horror nerd’s dream film festival as the setting. A killer who is a master of disguise and a great use of practical effects to show off their talents. Plus, a surprisingly amount of familiar faces…
Dave TaylorJan 31, 2021Talking about a film that ups its ranking and my appreciation for it towards the very end, til then this was a nice and enjoyable horror slasher film that I wouldn’t be surprised it inspired the likes of SCREAM with its very Meta approach and discussion on B level…

CvptvinHowdy likedPopcornI'm conflicted with this because it feels like a hidden gem, and maybe I'm just having a weird day. I'll have to return to this for a second viewing soon.

Metacritic
Popcorn is such fun for lovers of schlock (intended or otherwise) that it hardly matters where it is set.

A horror film that is less mindless than most in that it is both funny and gross.
