    ★★★

    Batshit, uncompromising and engrossing. Body horror done right. 

    Lovely nods to past horrors such as The Shining, The Thing and Evil Dead within the context of societies obsession with youth, looks and approval 

    No rewatch value for me but most cert worth the admission. 

    Shout out to Demi who really bares her soul for the art. Not an easy role but she conquers and then some

    ★★★★½

    This underrated gem from the early 90s is the perfect example of how to correctly do a buddy cop film. 

    Woods is on fire as the hotheaded NY cop and Fox is the lovable Hollywood babe in the woods. 

    Funny, fast paced and never overstays its welcome.

    ★★★

    With Blue Ruin and Green Room under his belt I will always watch a movie from Saulnier. While I was disappointed with Hold The Dark, I remained optimistic for his latest offering.

    Unfortunately, after a promising start and great casting with lead Pierre, the film falls into an over convoluted mid way which hinders pace and tries to be more than it is. The movie suffers from an overstuffed script and an overlong runtime. The result is a frustrating film that over complicated itself and overstays it’s welcome
