  Wolf Man 2025

  ★★★ Watched 18 Jan 2025

  Stripped down, well made and tense thriller riffing on the werewolf structure of someone surviving an attack, changing into something inhuman and becoming a danger to those around them.
  Not strictly a werewolf film, and those going in looking for that, and the design/makeup/special effects common to werewolf films might find this lacking.
  On the other hand, it delves into the transformation of the senses and mind better than almost anything else.

  The Invisible Man 2020

  ★★★★ Rewatched 10 Jan 2025

  Excellent horror reinvention that focuses on relationship abuse and gaslighting to great effect.
  Manages to use lingering shots of empy rooms to ratchet up the tension, and has excellent effects to portray the presence of the titular invisible man when necessary.
