  How to Blow Up a Pipeline 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched 06 May 2023

  Absolutely loved the opening.

  As the ticking of the clock grows closer to zero hour, we cut away to brief vignettes that deepen each character’s stories too. Each intro scene is tight and well paced and each character is introduced in their own unique way that gives each of them depth and reason for involvement. This keeps the overall story from flowing too fast. I especially liked the one set in North Dakota. The entire film is tight and well…

  “No one sees anything. Ever. They watch, but they don’t understand.”
  
  I’ve been wanting to see this film for such a long time and it did not disappoint. Thank you Criterion!

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Jul 2024

  Osgood Perkins is a director I've been obsessed with since I was 17 and saw The Blackcoat's Daughter for the first time, and also loved Gretel and Hansel's dark, twisted take on the classic fairytale.

  Longlegs, while not as strong as his directorial debut, still is full of atmosphere, disturbing moments, and horror elements that I long to see in the modern day horror zeitgeist.

  Maika Monroe is amazing as Lee Harker. I love how she channels Clarice Starling from…

  Skinamarink 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Jan 2023 1

  I was covering my eyes, hiding in my blanket, and pausing this over and over because of how scared I was watching this in my childhood bedroom alone with headphones. This and The Outwaters show that the indie horror movement is blossoming into a new prime and I’m so here for it. I was begging for it to stop at certain points. 

  Skinamarink feels so much like the feeling I get when I run up the basement stairs at night…
