I have to hand it to Curtains. It bit off a lot more than it could chew, and did so a fair bit ahead of its time. 1983 feels a bit early to have been so critical of the entertainment industry, while being a part of it at the same time. For that, it deserves some respect, even if it was so very much lacking cohesion and clarity. I was impressed without liking it very much. It definitely stands out as rare and imaginative in the slasher genre.

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim 2024
This was fine. Would have preferred if they’d resisted the inclination to modernize an animation style that was already perfect the way it was. I love LOTR stuff, but aside from being a part of that world, this film did very little to justify its excessive run time.

Mandy 2018
This is a classic revenge film as far as the basic structure of its storyline. But in every other way, Mandy goes above and beyond all others of its ilk. At first, I questioned its choice to be so boldly stylized, but my preconceived notions of style-over-substance quickly gave way to awe and respect. I’m not even really a fan of slashers or revenge films, but this one is a work of art.
