When Evil Lurks 2023
An excellent new breath of fresh air of modern body horror from Argentinian director Demián Ragna.
The atmosphere is brooding and bleak as hell from the get-go and only amps up as the relatively simple yet bone chilling story continues at a great pace into more and more harrowing territory.
Dread, death and suspense 'lurk' around every corner in this horrifyingly beautiful slice of demonic horror.

Kiss of Death 1995
Last time I watched this movie was 20-odd years ago on VHS, the cover of which graced Nic Cage's beautiful goatee and David Caruso's ginger pompadour in all it's glory.
The rest of the cast of this forgotten slice of mid 90's neo noir is low key stacked as hell.
Michael Rapaport as the leather clad hothead, Sam Jackson and Stanley Tucci as the not-to-be-fucked-with detective and DA, alcoholic Helen Hunt, Ving Rhames in full Marcellus Wallace mode, Philip Baker…
