Event Horizon 1997
Ok so basically, this is ridiculous. Watched it forever ago, and I could barely remember it, and now I kind of understand why. It's funny for all the wrong reasons. It's so self serious, and doesn't have enough fun with its central premise, THAT WE KNOW OF, since we'll never see the intended cut of the film. In fact, it's not really having much fun at all. Which is barmy because that makes it even funnier. Problem is though, you…

The Evil Dead 1981
I always reach for 2 or Army of Darkness, so this one’s remained kind of neglected in my rewatch of the OG trilogy; maybe its sacrilegious to say, but I find it kind of good but not great. The scares don’t hit that hard and the balance of horror and comedy was yet to take hold. It’s entertaining, sure, but it has aged the least well of the series. You have to give it credit for what it achieved with the resources it had, but I feel like the following instalments just blow it out of the water.

Grand Theft Hamlet 2024
Hilarious, beautiful, ridiculous, and selfishly, for me, vindicating of my lifelong gaming hobby. Gaming can be connection, community and the constant. Just so much to unpick here about who gets to decide how our stories should be told, and who gets to tell them. Also, the ever present risk of someone crashing your soliloquy with a well placed shotgun blast to your digital face is a pretty special type of anxiety. Such a weird, unique movie.

Suzume 2022
Visually dazzling as this is, I feel it could have been just a bit shorter. Reason being that the pacing is explosive at the beginning, with just enough information to understand the core concepts of the story - however it slows down a little too much around the middle, meaning that when the stakes are raised you’re already a bit tuned out and the emotional reveals don’t hit like they should. A really good time though, even if it doesn’t maintain the high bar it sets for itself consistently.
