    Leave the World Behind

    ★★★½

    Deeply unsettling but equally frustrating. I swear most characters were rage baiting the viewer at one point or another. I personally HATE under explored mysteries and the premise of the show would better suit a limited series to answer more questions. However, those who say the ending isn't satisfying can't grasp the concept of irony - or they have a low IQ and would have survived exactly 0 minutes in an apocalypse. Nice work by Kevin Bacon as well.

    I've been a sucker for movies that use colour this well recently. The concept is naturally a little confusing but there were some genuinely cool twists and turns. Made me feel sufficiently uncomfortable for a psychological thriller without being too much - it just wasn't anything amazing.

    Carry-On

    ★★★½

    Reasonable thriller with a sufficiently twisted villain and superb acting. The premise was exciting and could have gone many places, some of which felt under explored. The ending was somewhat unsatisfying - keeping in mind I have a high bar for this genre. However, given the timely Christmas context, watching this film this time of year just felt right.
