Watched The Fog
I do love a John Carpenter film. Last night (and today, as I was too tired to watch the whole thing late last night) I watch The Fog for the first time. At least I don’t remember watching it in my youth. I enjoyed it thoroughly. It actually made me jump in two separate parts,…

Watched Alien Romulus
I’ll just start by saying that I really enjoyed Alien Romulus. After the atrocity that was Disney’s How to train your alien (Alien Earth) I have been in need of a good Alien fix. This started with me finally playing through Alien Isolation and absolutely loving it. I then thought I’d give Romulus a chance,…

Watched The Innocents (1961)
We decided to watch The Innocents (1961) for halloween evening film watch last night. A bit of a left field one, but is considered one of the top horror films. I thought it was okay. Good creepy vibes throughout and lots of abiguity. I was surprised when the ending kicked in. I guess I was…

Watched The Wicker Man
Last night I finally got round to watching one of the classic horror films that has somehow been evading me for all this time — The Wicker Man (1973) Not the apparently-dreadful remake. Oh not the bees. I loved it. Despite knowing the ending already, probably through some kind of film osmosis over the years,…

An American, a Mexican and an Irishman…
I’ve started watching films again. Robert DeNiro as The Irishman Clint Eastwood as The Man with no name The Irishman Firstly, I started with Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman. Loved it. The main cast have been great in everything I’ve seen them in. And this film was no different. A masterclass. For me it had those…

Heat
Finally watched this film for the first time and I absolutely loved it to bits. As I sat there sweating through the UK heatwave — my apartment being three or four degrees higher — I became lost in this world of LA. It goes without saying that Al Pacino and Robert Deniro are at the…

The Babysitter
Not to be confused with the 1995 erotic, straight-to-video film starring Alicia Silverstone. 2017’s The Babysitter is a violent, fun watch and completely ridiculous in all the right places. I was recommended this by a friend and did really enjoy it. I was surprised that it was a 15 though. Looking forward to watching the…

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
The “Final” chapter. Lolz. I enjoyed the film for what it was — the gathering together of a bunch of young people for Jason to pick off one by one.

Friday the 13th part 3
Friday the 13 part 3 was a lot of fun. I didn’t enjoy it quite as much on the whole as I did part 2, but it was still a great ride. And it was great to finally see Jason don his infamous hockey mask. I found myself wondering about the director’s taste when I…

Thoughts on The people under the stairs
I finally faced my childhood trauma by watching The people under the stairs in full. I saw sections of it as a child and remember only the image of children running from something in the wall cavities of a old creepy house. It was an absolute surprise and joy to see Everett McGill and Wendy…

Watching The people under the stairs An image from an old film haunted me for some years in my childhood. Only recently did I discover somehow, without watching it, that the image was from The people under the stairs. Now I’m going back in to a film I may have seen as a child and…

Thoughts on Friday the 13th part 2
Apart from being an entertaining and very 80’s killing spree around the cursed area surrounding Camp Crystal Lake, I thought this was a really well made, and clever horror film.
