  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 21 Oct 2024

  Coralie fargeat is becoming a serious contender for favourite film makers. Revenge was already one of my favourite horror films and so I had big expectations for this and it did not disappoint. 

  This was EVERYTHING. Both a love letter to cinema and a scathing satire on Hollywood and addiction in the industry. 

  This was like black swan but instead of being for the dramatic theatre gays it was made for the gays who did drugs and went to parties 😂 

  Literally I loved this. It went then. And then went there again. And then went beyond and then somehow went even further.

  Megalopolis 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 30 Sep 2024 1

  I haven’t felt this mixed on a film in a while.

This constant switching of language is slowly introducing you to how you’re supposed to pay attention to this film. A very intelligent and subtle way to introduce you to the world you’re  about to enter without completely overwhelming you. Something that will come later. 

  The film does an excellent job of…

  When Evil Lurks 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 07 Nov 2023

  This was brutal!! My partner and I are going to Argentina in the new year and so we were excited to see this Argentinian film being talked about coming to shudder. 

  I am so happy we checked this out. We had seen the directors previous film “Terrified” and enjoyed that. It wasn’t nearly as frightening as people had said but it was incredibly well executed. 

  This film was the same. While completely merciless and brutal it was incredibly well executed…
