  Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror 2019

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  A nicely informative documentary! As a BIG fan of horror, I'm interested in lots of different aspects of the genre, but I can't think of another documentary I've seen that digs into the Black connection to and experience with it.

I'm happy I've seen SOME of the movies featured here, but definitely not all of them, so I've got some homework to do. :)

  A House on the Bayou 2021

  ★★★ Watched 30 Nov 2021

  I found this to be pretty solid and mostly enjoyable, though nothing especially out of the ordinary. Good performances for the most part and I did find myself questioning/wondering what was happening for awhile. I did like the way the identities of Grandpappy and his grandson was kept unclear for a lot of the film, but I also very much appreciated the fact that there was a solid answer by the end of the film (I hate when things like that are left unresolved).

  Worth a watch!
