    The Dry

    ★★½

    Nothing like a murder mystery to bring out the best (and worst) in a small town.

    The Dry nails the brooding Aussie atmosphere—dust, secrets, and suspicious glances aplenty. Eric Bana does his best ‘haunted man with a past’ impression, and it works, sort of..

    The slow-burn pacing might not be for everyone, but the tension builds nicely, and the payoff is solid.

    What is it with Australia being so cinematic!?

  • Misery

    Misery

    ★★★★½

    If Annie Wilkes were around today, she'd be wreaking havoc on Goodreads, leaving one-star reviews for every author who dares to disappoint her. Classic, chilling, and oddly relatable if you're a little too invested in your favourite fandoms.

    If only she knew she could write her own fanfiction...

    The elves really didn't care that Santa had died did they?

    These movies are weird but also so wholesome in a nostalgic way

  • Misery

    Misery

    ★★★★½

    Misery is still a masterclass in suspense—Kathy Bates is terrifying, James Caan is perpetually suffering, and Stephen King reminds us that the real horror is fandom.

    RIP Annie Wilkes, you would have loved Goodreads, Letterboxd, Fandom the musical and leaving unhinged one-star reviews for “cockadoodie” endings.
