  See No Evil 1971

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Aug 2020

  See No Evil by Richard Fleischer is a breathtaking, mysterious and suspenseful horror film. Fleischer crafts a nail-biting tale that's held together by a twisty script from Brian Clemens, a stunning performance from Mia Farrow and directing without obnoxious horror tropes. The cinematography from Gerry Fisher (Wolfen, Highlander, The Exorcist 3) perfectly captures the haunting juxtaposition of country house grandeur with maniacal cold terror. Despite some late 60's style/fashion and a score which sometimes feels untypical of horror, it overcomes…

  Terrifier 3 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 12 Oct 2024

  Third time's the charm! Terrifier 2 was a step in the right direction but Terrifier 3 is the swing for the fences this series needed to rise above amateur hour and into eye-popping horror history. Rest assured, those who love the nasty gore won't be disappointed, as this is as stomach churning and dementedly funny as it gets. Beyond the guts; Damien Leone has dramatically improved in both visual storytelling and in editing. Everything from the characters, music, to the brilliantly edited comedy is perhaps the best this can be without losing the DNA of Terrifier.

  Manhunter 1986

  ★★½ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  Rating for the Director's Cut version. Outside of a scene towards the end which is an essential establishing shot, the rest of the extra scenes and loose editing really dragged the pace and suspense.

  Caveat 2020

  ★★★ Watched 07 Jan 2025

  A decent first feature from Damian Mc Carthy (Director of Oddity). The movie leans more towards a crime/thriller feel but still has some great horror twists and scares. Just like with Oddity, I don't feel disappointed by any of the story reveals, as they feel earned and add an engaging amount of depth. Same goes for what isn’t explained, which adds something to let our minds fill in. Overall, I wanted more from Caveat and the pace drags a bit in the third act but the various moments of horror are really well done.

  Voir 2021

  ★★ Watched 07 Dec 2021 1

  An inconsistent, mostly arrogant, mixed bag of film analysis. Some episodes have historically interesting and thoughtful observations, while others brush with generalizations, find formula within a handful of films, or make their own narrative by cherry-picking scenes. I shouldn't finish an episode and be relieved and thankful it's over, but that's what I found because there was a condescending tone to most narrators.

  Lucky 2020

  ★★ Watched 04 Mar 2021

  Idea is fun but the execution is dull and the antagonist is as imposing as a mosquito. It reminded me of the fake trailer where a killer uses a spoon but at least that was amusing and well made. Do yourself a favour and watch Happy Death Day instead.
