A new thriller directed by Guillem Morales, who has brought us two decent Spanish genre films in the past, Julia’s Eyes and The Uninvited Guest. It is admittedly a talky thriller where one woman approaches another with a proposition to kill her husband and spends most of the runtime thinking of the perfect plan. Both…

This jumped out at me today as the second highest rated horror movie of the year on Letterboxd's top ten list. I had no idea the film existed until then, so it immediately caught my attention and I had to fill in. I cried the first time when I realised it was from India, I cried the second time when I saw the running…

I really wasn't expecting such a shitfest, although I know that even A24 sometimes shoots off target when it comes to horror. The Eggers missed their first feature chance, but hopefully Robert will save the family reputation this year. There's no point in paying attention to The Front Room unless you want to see one…

The fact that there are fifty ratings hanging around at the moment, but no one has bothered to write a review, is a testament to how interesting this film is :D It's really hard to write anything about it. The Rosemary's Baby prequel that nobody asked for doesn't add anything new or interesting to the topic, it doesn…

Having Guillem Morales return from TV shows to movies after 14 long years is fine. yeah, but it could have been with something a little juicier. I found the first couple of minutes the most interesting, when real wasps are on the scene and it looks like we're going to get proper domestic madness, but then it switches…

Clint Eastwood is back on form and after The Mule he delivers an uncomfortable, authentic and often hopeless drama, the kind that hasn't been seen in a long time. They couldn't have cast a better actor than Paul Walter Hauser (Kingdom) to play the slightly dim-witted but at heart terribly nice and kind man, the…

A young law student's love for a new student gets him involved in the international drug trade when he and his crew are tasked with transporting a package to France from Amsterdam, but everything goes wrong and, in addition to the competition, his employer comes after him. The nerd eventually becomes a seasoned…

A chilling thriller with a rather unpleasant theme, but a far more frightening central point (stalking, psychological terror). Egyptian director Atom Egoyan, who has made the much-discussed Devil's Knot, clearly has a flair for films with this theme, and so it is with The Captive. Ryan Reynolds and Mireille Enos as…

A solid ending to the (penultimate?) 10th season, which has been a long time coming. Maybe unnecessarily so long that the series unfortunately loses its consistency a bit, you forget a lot of things and details in that time and without the pause it would have been better. Still, the finale was quite good, it's nice to…

Everyone praises this classic version over the newer remake, but it just struck me as worse than average, and I might give the new version a chance, since the central idea of live or death version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? is right up my alley. The film has a nice touch of Saw atmosphere at times, the…
