Red Rooms is a film that I’d seen in a few ‘best movies of 2024’ rankings, and I’d missed it in the cinema so I made a point to catch it on streaming and DAMN I was not expecting to watch maybe the best thriller of the decade so far, and possibly the most tense movie I have ever watched.
You know that moment in a horror film where the tension is right at its peak and you’re on the…
The first time I watched it I expected a full on 80s slasher and was so perplexed by the weird off beat character study that this actually is. And so rewatching it knowing this I feel it could’ve gone either way, and just honestly wow I could not believe how invested I was in this on second watch.
It’s genuinely just fucking B movie taxi driver with a Christmas setting and I absolutely fucking adore it. I genuinely think it…
Marks the start of my rewatch of all Muppets feature length films, and actually somehow I’d never seen this one before!? Overall this is just the perfect muppets film, great songs, brilliant effective comedy, and a light hearted plot which does manage to achieve emotional beats when it wants to.

It’s got all the right ingredients, a super likeable cast and a great premise and setting, but until it really commits and goes off the rails towards the end it’s just a little too obvious and a bit cookie cutter. It’s definitely not…
Demons is a giallo classic that I’ve been putting off for ages because I’m usually less of a fan of these possession/zombie films, but let me tell you this film proved me so so wrong, and is now easily one of my favourite giallo films. This film feels like the Italian take on The Evil Dead, and it’s just absolute glorious carnage from start to finish.
So yes it is a zombie film of sorts, but what made me love this so…
After the longest wait ever, we finally get a new Wes Anderson film, and I finally get to see one of his films at the cinema, and not just that but it ended up being my favourite film of his as of now. Success all round.
I feel like whenever I review a Wes Anderson film I end up saying the same sorts of things, and that won’t be any different here. Fantastic cast, absolutely amazing performances, the most gorgeous…
