One I didn't post from this morning:


A bit hard to follow, but overall a decent supernatural horror, possibly even underrated.

^ It's a really fun comedy horror.

I won't be bothering with the sequels though. 


I liked this more than the later Red Dragon.

This is neither as good as some make it out to be, nor as crap as it initially appears to be. It needed a lot of build-up, where I sat there wondering why I was watching it, to reach a point that perseverance actually paid off. However when it did it was hilarious. I imagine a fair few people switch this off in the first half hour, as I so nearly did. Sadly the final act wouldn't work as a short without the context of the first two. Ironically it probably deserves to be recognised as a bona fide art film, but it's disguised as garbage.

Not terribly in depth or ground breaking. I don't think I learned anything much new. Watching Ozzy be Ozzy is sometimes cringe-worthy, but usually a bit of fun.

Robert de Niro must have directed this while sitting at Martin Scorsese's knee. Though it does move away from the Scorsese worship after a while and try to make a point about race relations, in which the fucking gangster comes off the best out of everyone. A good movie overall, a bit of obvious homage but it does ultimately stand on its own.

It is okay to be seen.

Just watched this myself. Wow, what an ending! And a great turn from Bo Burnham, who I only knew from his comedy songs.

Based on true events with some fabrication to fill in things that were unknown and for artistic licence, this Korean film was one of great extremes. At first it seems like it's going to be a comedy (the poster certainly looks like it could be a comedy), but gradually it gets extremely harrowing and shocking. A brilliant film from start to finish.

I have that lined up to watch. I think she's an outstanding actress. To put pictures in here, I usually go to https://www.themoviedb.org/ as it has most things both movie and TV related. Then just right click on the movie poster, copy image, and paste straight into the editor window.

Anyway, I watched this last night:

Not the biggest budget or best written movie ever, but the chemistry between the two lead characters is great. It's a (mostly) gentle comedy with a couple of hilarious twists.

There are few genuinely good slashers IMO. I much prefer supernatural or psychological horror. 

If you haven't seen it I highly recommend checking out The Lighthouse. That's a pretty out there psychological horror movie. It's a very different different breed of movie to the grounded but disturbing Misery though. I've watched it three times since it was released and remained as transfixed by it on the third watch as much as the first time around.

I´ll give almost anything a chance if Ruth Wilson is featured. Such a great actress.

Yeah I like her too. She is brilliant as Mrs Coulter in His Dark Materials. 


It took me getting some used to that it wasn´t Kidman playing Mrs Coulter, but Ruth Wilson is even better. I love her in Luther. Absolutely brilliant...Clap

I haven't seen this in years. There's not much I remember about it now, except for that scene. That scene's kinda a with you until you die thing. 


Yeah it had been many years since I watched it last too. I watched it with my daugther who likes horror movies, and I´m trying to show her horror movies which have a psychological edge to them instead of all the generic slasher horror crap she usually watches.

...but yeah THAT SCENE...brrrrr, I tell you she couldn´t watch it Evil Smile
