As I said a while back, its an enjoyable watch but they tried to squeeze too much into it.

Black Bear. No idea what it was all about but Aubrey Plaza was superb.

A Field in England

A modern-ish folk horror.

Not sure how I feel about it. Barring a handful of moments it looks like it was made for about 10 bucks. It got good reviews, and definitely had some good bits and pieces, but just not sure I was overly into it. It's on the artier side of things, which sometimes is great, but didn't really grab me this time.

As a 'mood piece' it works well - if you're in the mood for it. I haven't seen it since it came out - a simultaneous cinema and Film Four premiere, which was a wonderful idea, it gave a great feeling of involvement somehow - so I'm long overdue a rewatch. Shearsmith was great in it, Smiley just annoyed me TBH.

The strong Northern Irish accent kind of lifted me out of it a bit, just because it was so unexpected in the context.

Kill List is his best film imo. Could never get into anything he did after that. Down Terrace is good too.

I bought the DVD of that A Field In England blind, after I watched it I remember thinking this is one for having on in the background after the pub. Back when I went to pubs. And came home with all sorts.

I went to see it when it was on in the IFI Horrorthon years back, can't remember a single thing about it which probably doesn't say much. Might give it a rewatch soon and see if it sticks a bit better

Don't like any of his (wheatley)  movies,  they're a bit too much, either too surreal or too violent.  To each their own.


Caught 'The Ultimate Weapon' (Hulk Hogan) on TV recently,  absolutely hilarious , so bad it's good territory.
