  Irreversible 2002

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Jan 2025

  Brutal and unforgettable—a twisted look at trauma that’s hard to stomach. Brilliantly made, but so dehumanizing I doubt I could watch it again.

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Jan 2025

  Stunning—Skarsgard is fantastic, the atmosphere and imagery are great. Everything from the direction to the score is top-notch, but for some reason, it didn’t fully work for me.

  The Shining 1980

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 29 Nov 2024

  The Shining is endlessly rewatchable for me. Kubrick’s eerie atmosphere, Nicholson’s wild performance, and Duvall’s raw emotion all come together perfectly. It’s not just great horror—it’s one of my favorite films of all time.

  ★★★★½ Watched 12 Nov 2024

  There’s a reason Halloween is still a horror staple. Carpenter’s genius lies in keeping things simple—just Michael Myers, that iconic mask, and a chilling synth score.

Even after all these years, it holds up for me.
