Not according to the multitude of charts that pop up on the Google image search for tea steeping temperatures, but I'm not much of a perfectionist. As long as it's not bitter and only slightly caffeinated, I'm happy with it.

It Follows is such a great movie because it effectively did a coming of age drama and a horror movie at the same time and they blended so perfectly. Because let's face it, adolescence and the burgeoning of sexual and emotional adultness can be a dark and scary time for a lot of people, and throwing a murder-demon in the mix when you're already worried about young love and social pressure is like, "great, thanks world, keep piling on why don't you."

I saw it when I was around 30 and it's definitely one of my favorite horror movies but if it had come out when I was a teen, I'd have been watching it every other week.

Malignant was like a half-decent joke where the quality of the delivery is what makes it stupid or funny. James Wan started the movie out right but then seemed to have forgotten what he was going for until near the end. It kept switching between going for serious, creepy scares and wacky insanity.

There were some cool scenes but if a movie can't commit to what it is, then I can't get as into it as I'd like because I'm spending more time thinking about it than enjoying it.

Drag Me to Hell did a much better job.
