Love Lies Bleeding

I am absessed.

What a crazy, brutal and heartbreaking ride. Still very wholesome. Not sure If I ever saw a movie where I wished more for a happy ending than this one. Totally surprised me with everything they did. Kristen and Katy are amazing! Also, the soundtrack

2 Minutes of wholesomeness for 1 1/2 hours. Love it!

Take Shelter

Absolutely amazing! I have been kinda in anxiety mode for the last couple of days, and this movie gave me the rest. But in a good way! Right from the beginning, there was something dark and strange to feel until the very last second. It grabbed me and slowly dragged me down with it. But there is also so much wholesomeness within the family that I felt this could only go right. I felt with Curtis and wanted everything to stop, too, because this slowly ride into some kind of madness didn't just drain him. Combined with the overall atmospheric tone and subtle use of music, this movie just mesmerized me. Everyone is doing a fantastic job bringing everything into perspective, and I needed some time to actually calm down a little. Even though I don't really know what to do with the ending, I loved this movie and had a stressful yet wonderful time watching it.

Jacob's Ladder

Wow, what a movie. I was really prepared for anything but this. A confusing game of light drama and dark thriller. Even if the film can be watched calmly at times, you are always pulled back into reality and confronted with scary and oppressive moments. Tim Robbins plays his role excellently and manages to maintain a solid facade that only one self can break through. I love it when films don't hand everything to the viewer on a silver platter. Here you have to decide for yourself what is true and what is not and what that means for you. Even though I wouldn't necessarily classify the film as a typical horror film, the subject is of course more than real and disturbing. In any case, the film gives you a lot to think about and definitely needs to be watched more often to be able to grasp the whole thing. A great and important movie.

Oh, man, this was so funny sometimes, until it wasn't anymore. Loved the sudden tone shift. Great ending. Looking forward to Part 2 and the TV show now!

The Wrath of Becky

Becky is back, and this time someone fucked with her dog and you know what that means!

This sequel is much more fun and gory than the first one. Sometimes, I was a bit annoyed by the lack of her screen time—I don't really care about the bad guys, just kill 'em! Shoutout to using the word woke the right way and to one of the best kills I've seen in a long time. Better watch where you're steppin'!

I am totally in for more of these, so just keep them coming!

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

It shouldn't be so fun, but the cast worked pretty hard to make this a quite entertaining ride. Also, Nazis are killed in many different ways, so what else do we really need?

The Phantom of the Convent

This officially marks the oldest movie I've ever watched, and I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Initially seeming rather straightforward, it ended up delivering more surprises than I had imagined. I relished the overall atmosphere; it even boasted some impressive practical effects and had its moments of delightful silliness. Though it didn't quite muster the scares by today's standards, I found it to be a far more engaging experience than many contemporary releases. It leaves me hopeful for exploring other films from that era, or even earlier ones.

Nanny

Uff. This one hurt. An astonishing, uneasily and intriguing viewing experience with a very gloomy atmosphere and the first feature film by Nikyatu Jusu. Anna Diop is just absolutely amazing and immediate cast a spell over me. Paired with the amazing visuals and the soundtrack, this movie doesn't really let you know what's going on and as we see Aisha going slowly down I could figuratively feel her grabbing my legs too. You never really know what is this weird feeling you have, but so doesn't she. This slow burn, atmospheric and psychological thriller-horror left a mark on me. And even though it was not really scary in the usual way, it is gut-wrenching in a way only few movies had done before. That's what nightmares feel in real life.

The Bloodettes

I don't feel that I have the knowledge or insight to fully understand and grasp this movie. There is so much significance in the culture I am not familiar with. Nevertheless, it doesn't make it less interesting and suspenseful. If anything, it kinda helped me to just dive into this dark and twisted future and just accept what I am seeing. I really liked those little questions during the movie, which served as some kind of small break.

My nescience did not help with those and their reality behind them, but I feel for me, it immersed me more and more into the story. So at least I could understand some context. Also, I have to give a huuuuge shoutout to the soundtrack; that was just amazing! Pared with those dreamy sequences and the overall gritty style, it created a very haunting movie that I am very glad I experienced. It's definitely worth descending into and I will for sure will watch it again.

Comment faire un film d'horreur dans un endroit où la mort est une fête?

Aporia

Absolute wonderful! A heartwarming and -breaking story about grief, acceptance, consequence and awareness. And a compelling story about time travel in a unique, own way. Quiet and philosophic, but also very graspable.

The Beyond

Yikes, this was very nasty and mean. I had no idea it will be so gross sometimes. Someone definitely wanted to trigger some phobias in this one. It caught be off guard, and this old, strange movie made me feel very uncomfortable. But between those scenes it's kinda a dreamy and atmospheric horror movie. The music was not always on point but contributed to the overall anxiety. I have to admit, that the second half almost lost me, it got a little bit hard to follow what was the actual problem now until it kinda revealed itself, very anticlimactic. The ending though was very poetic and together with the nasty horror elements this movie definitely deserved some extra credit. I guess I was a little bit overhyped, but still had a good time.

Madame Web

People praising Avatar like the king of movies and rating Madame Web with 1/2 stars, it's the internet in a nutshell. I'm giving it 1/2 extra star just because of all your hate and will hope for a sequel. Now back to drinking Pepsi and using the web.

YellowBrickRoad

I feel this could have been a great found footage movie. However, even as a 'normal' one, it has its moments. I was a bit surprised by how good it actually was at times, but in the middle, it lost me a bit. However, the ending picked up the pace. It's definitely something different, which I always enjoy, but it could have been a bit scarier for my taste.

Sting

I really hate spiders, but somehow this was cute af.

It was a very fun horror movie until the unnecessary backstory of the characters started to dominate it. Also, I feel that the ending was very rushed and unsatisfying. I get why many people like happy endings, but especially in horror movies, I think that this is overdone and sometimes tends to ruin the whole vibe of the movie. Some more nasty deaths and a big finale could really have helped. Overall, I had a good time and liked the fresher take on the topic. Also, the spider announcing their feeding time was just hilarious!

A blend of heartwarming and peculiar. I really appreciated how they crafted such an empty atmosphere; it must have been quite a challenge. I'm not entirely sure how advanced they were in the late 50s, but watching it now, I couldn't help but recall 'Cast Away' and, of course, 'Last Man on Earth' (what a surprise!).

The central theme of the movie is what bothered me a bit. Initially, they had a beautiful existence, but everything changes when another man enters the picture. Suddenly, it's all about vying for the woman's affection to the extent of contemplating self-harm. (I mean, I can somewhat understand it—Inger Stevens is truly captivating, a beautiful and talented actress. I'll definitely have to check out more of her work.) But as a millennial, I find the idea of solitude more romantic than it may have been perceived in the past. Instead of relishing it, they become desperate for human connection, even if it means destroying what they've built.

The ending felt a bit lame, but I suppose it was the obvious choice for the audience.

Race with the Devil

I can't really explain it, but this movie felt weird from the beginning. I was kind of excited when they saw the sacrifice and thought well, now it's getting interesting, but everything after that somehow was not what I was expecting. First and foremost, it didn't really feel like a race, even though they are motorbike racers. Why introduce them like that, but never even use this again in the movie? tWhat was all that screaming about? The wives were portrayed as useless and annoying, and some scenes were just way too long. I almost couldn't handle the snake attack. Also, how does a satanic ritual fit into Aztec mythology? I felt all this "background" story was just cheap and not well-thought-out. Many things threw me out of the movie, and somehow I couldn't really dive into it. I feel that the story itself could lead to some interesting things, but nobody bothered about them. I think it has much potential for a remake. The ending earned the movie an extra 1/2 star because I was not expecting this. Pretty cool and different!

The Dinosaur Project

First of all, let's agree, that we need more horror movies with dinosaurs. I was a bit hyped for this one, because the idea alone seemed worth watching. But it turned out not to be a real FF movie, it's more a mockumentary but feels just like a normal movie with shaky cam. At some point this turned into The Lion King, and it was more about family drama than actual dinosaurs. The effects weren't that bad, but overall it missed its target and was getting more boring to the end. That's sad. I feel it could have worked.

In Fabric

Eeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm...... I don't really know what to tell y'all. I have no idea. I guess it was about a haunted dress and some people which are got in contact with it. I kinda enjoyed it until I realized that this is some kind of anthology (not in the usual way). The music and the overall style were kinda beautiful, but the movie itself was very, very weird. But not it that kind of way I enjoy, more like what the actual fuck is happening here, what is this, what is that, why is he doing that why is she doing that .... why oh why ... and where, who and why is Gamora? I’m kinda baffled because I watch many movies and some of them are weird and complex and very much open to interpretation, but even after a long sleep I still have no clue.

1 Night

I mean, it was kinda sweet, but very obvious. I enjoyed half of the story and the end. I know what they wanted to achieve, but it was a bit too much on the nose. Still kinda wholesome.

Could have been a good V/H/S segment, but for that it's 50 minutes too long.

The Shrine

Many films aren't that bad until you get to the end. Here we have the exact opposite. At the beginning, The Shrine isn't really worth mentioning, but towards the end, it becomes somewhat intriguing. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but if you have the choice between this film and, say, The Strangers: Chapter 1, then go for The Shrine. At least you'll see something creative here.
