  The Strangers: Chapter 1 2024

  ★★ Watched 17 May 2024

  A beat for beat remake of the first one (?) that manages to capture very little of what made The Strangers interesting, aside from cribbing specific sequences and lines. The only redeeming factor is that it’s interesting part of a trilogy all releasing this year, so I’ll be there to see that at least

  ★★★★ Watched 10 May 2024

  Tarot 2024

  ★★★ Watched 05 May 2024

  A perfectly enjoyable and serviceable “light horror” flick with some cool lore - would love to see more about the different monsters though (looking at you Thirteen Ghosts)
