The Prowler 1981
this ended up on my watch list bc of the excellent book My Heart is a Chainsaw, in which the main character Jade is a slasher obsessive (who also finds herself living in a real life slasher)
in the book, Jade talks a lot about how one of the key elements that defines a slasher as opposed to other horror-y murder movies is ✨revenge✨ - the killer is trying to get back at a perceived wrong from their past

Laura 1944
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
The first introduction we get to Waldo Leidecker is his voice. His words, his goose quill dipped in venom, telling us about the day Laura died. As he speaks we're seeing the many things he's collected, objects he keeps in glass cases. Detective Mark McPherson is curious but unaffected by them. For him, beauty isn't about keeping it. Even the portrait he's so enamored of is incomplete, he's not really in love until Laura steps into her own living room…

pattinson is however extremely excellent in this and i found…

The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star 2021
I want to be very clear that the reason I’m only giving this movie 2 stars is that it simply did not have enough princesses, or enough switching. We deserve a new Vanessa Hudgens character with every sequel, otherwise what are we even doing here?

Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb 2020
Ngl this documentary made me hella emotional. Like, for one thing, this shit is super cool, that this ancient civilization preserved stuff so well we can still find it and it’s like, shockingly in tact. And that we’re still learning about this stuff literally thousands of years later. Insane. Arc of human history, enough to make a person feel things
But the documentary aspect of this is next level, the relationships you form with the people at the center of…
