It’s that time of year again! All October long, we will be devoting each episode to horror movies!
In the final installment of Fifth Opinion‘s second annual Halloween Month, we’re discussing the legendary slasher Friday the 13th. We talk about the film’s naturalistic cinematography, note how it is a progression from earlier slashers like Black Christmas and Halloween, and get confused about the rules of “Strip Monopoly.”
In this episode of Fifth Opinion, we defend Gary Shore’s maligned and misunderstood Dracula Untold. We discuss how the film defamiliarizes the legacy of Vlad the Impaler, the refreshing care put into its cinematography and visuals, and we break down some of the problems in the criticism the film has received.

April is “Personal Pick” month on Fifth Opinion. In each episode this month, one of us will individually select the movie for discussion, and explain why we chose it.
For the final installment, Jordan chose Anthony Mann’s classic western Man of the West. We discuss Mann’s visual expertise, how the film poignantly portrays the changing of an era, and we go on an unexpected tangent about modern cinematography.
