  Longlegs 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 12 Aug 2024

  Ambiguity can be great in media, especially horror media.
  Unfortunatly, like with films like The Snowman and Slenderman, there needs to be more than just ambiguity to make a film enjoyable, especially if there's some mystery element to the film. There needs to be some cohesiveness to what you're shown and the ending, and I feel that Longlegs misses the mark at this most fundamental point. Does it tie itself together at the end? I guess, though it's not particularly…

  A Quiet Place: Day One 2024

  ★★ Watched 02 Jul 2024

  Though Lupita Nyong’o kills this role (as she does with almost everything I've seen her in, especially horror films) - along with pretty much all of the cast, there isn't too much of interest for them to actually kill.
  Movies about a group of small groups of people trying to survive a horrific incident are a dime a dozen, and (despite the performances) have been done much better than this.

  An unusual french fantasy film from the early 90s about two ten/eleven year old children, born with compromised immune systems, and having to live their lives inside plastic enclosures in a hospital. When they eventually realise how to escape, their friendship takes them on adventures around the hospital and beyond, where they begin to question the motives of those that claimed to be helping.

  Slaughtered Vomit Dolls 2006

  ½ Watched 05 Oct 2020

  For the curious, there is some objectionable content in this 'film'; mostly actors legitimatly vomiting, but also a decent amount of gore (feel I have to mention that it's faked, as I said the previous stuff was real, but this attempting to be a horror film).

  I've heard claims that this film is similar to other shock/grossout horrors such as Salo, and The Human Centipede.

  If you consider people vomiting, an overabundance of pitch-shifted vocals, reversed video footage, shaking cameras,…
