Good noir movie. 

This is the original and much more faithful to the source adaptation of the Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House. I hadn't realised just how much the Netflix series diverged beyond modernising. I think I still prefer that to this, but this movie was pretty great too and it was fun to pick up on things that were clearly referenced in the series. 

I'm not sure how accurate this is (they do outright state it's based on 'truth and lies'), but I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. I've never followed Mayhem that much so don't know their history as well as some might, but I thought it was an entertaining movie. Shocking even knowing what happened back then and with some rather brutal shots. I would recommend watching it. 

An entertaining comedy. 

Seen better John Huston movies, but still decent. 

One the decade's most divisive sci-fi movies. Personally I loved it. Very stylish and unique. Could have done without the ambiguous ending though.

Expected a lot worse based on its reputation. I found it superior to most in the DCEU I've seen so far, with the exception of Wonder Woman. It's shorter run time than Man of Steel and Batman v Superman helped it a lot in that regard. 

I did it in three goes by the way. 

The Bat (1959)

Didn't expect anything, but this is a really good murder mystery. Does a lot of things to keep you switching opinion on who the killer is, which is what the best mysteries do. Vincent Price is, well, Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead (of Bewitched fame) makes for a great protagonist.
