  • Heat

    Heat

    Finally watched this film for the first time and I absolutely loved it to bits. As I sat there sweating through the UK heatwave — my apartment being three or four degrees higher — I became lost in this world of LA. It goes without saying that Al Pacino and Robert Deniro are at the…

    Thoughts on The people under the stairs

    I finally faced my childhood trauma by watching The people under the stairs in full. I saw sections of it as a child and remember only the image of children running from something in the wall cavities of a old creepy house. It was an absolute surprise and joy to see Everett McGill and Wendy…

  • Thoughts on Friday the 13th part 2

    Apart from being an entertaining and very 80’s killing spree around the cursed area surrounding Camp Crystal Lake, I thought this was a really well made, and clever horror film.

  • The New York Ripper — My Thoughts

    The New York Ripper — My Thoughts

    The New York Ripper has been one of the most challenging films I’ve watched in recent times. It’s violence and sexuality are off the charts.

  • Thoughts on Phenomena

    Dario Argento’s Phenomena is yet another example of a masterclass in horror cinema.

  • Thoughts on The Lighthouse

    The Lighthouse is a slow-burn descent into madness expertly portrayed by Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe.

  • Thoughts on the film Joker

    Joaquin Phoenix is probably my favourite representative of the character of Joker that I’ve seen on screen.

  • Thoughts on Rosemary’s Baby

    The haunting story of a woman carrying her first child, struggling to keep it all together. However, she begins to suspect outside forces are working against her and her family’s safety. An absolute horror classic.

  • 1917

    1917 is the incredible film from Sam Mendes about two friends tasked with delivering an important message to save a battalion.

  • Star Wars episode IX : The Rise of Skywalker

    On New Year’s Day I saw my first film of the year — Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalker. In all honesty I was expecting to not like it all that much, mostly due to reviews and comments I’d heard from people I know. But you know what? I really enjoyed it. It was…

  • Thoughts on A Nightmare on Elm Street

    Thoughts on A Nightmare on Elm Street

    A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the most recognisable titles in cinema – as is it’s villain, and star, Freddy Krueger. I felt the urge to re-watch this film after my recently-formed gaming obsession with Dead By Daylight. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that much of the film still holds up…

  • Thoughts on the film “Neon Demon”

    Thoughts on the film “Neon Demon”

    With its gorgeous visuals and pulsing soundtrack, Neon Demon is a film that I won’t be forgetting in a hurry. The majority of the story felt to me like it was floating in and out of the conscious mind, with an increasing level of abstract as it went on. What’s The Neon Demon about? The…
