Ya, I'll say no more about it til a few heads have seen it.

Just got out of the Banshees of Inisherin there too. Thought it was brilliant. Went in knowing it'll be black comedy but there's definitely a good bit below the surface re: Irish pysche. Looks great too.

[Pentagrimes]

Eager to see Banshees alright, hearing nothing but good things.

On a more seasonal note, "Terrifyer 2" was cool. Over long but no major complaints other than that, a much welcome genuinely unpleasant antidote to the increasingly infuriating current tide of A24 style "elevated horror" (which reminds me - saw "Barbarian" recently which was ok, nothing that exciting) or shit sequels. I'd say it's the kind of film Rob Zombie wants to make but isn't capable of - captures the feeling of the old grindhouse/video nasty stuff without going retro, and has a genuinely iconic villain in Art The Clown

Went to Halloween Ends the other night. Absolutely ridiculous, violent and over the top. I loved it anyway! I also watched Crimes Of The Future which I also enjoyed. One of Cronenberg's best over the last few years. A return to his strange characters and subject matter without giving much away there.

[Pentagrimes]

New Cronenberg next year I believe. And his son has something new in the works too.

Saw Netflix's All Quiet on the Western Front in the lighthouse last week, thought it was pretty good, worth seeing on a big screen.

Just watched Herzog's Grizzly Man, completely batshit documentary.

[Carnage]

Just watched Mad God, hugely disappointing. Some mental imagery alright but ultimately there's not much to it.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Finally got round to watching Mandy. Fairly shit tbh. Cage does Cage and that's always entertaining, but a pretty flimsy movie, and too dragged out.

I thought it was great. Style over substance but I thought it was done well.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yeah, I think mainly just too long. I was digging the style for the first hour, but then just felt it dragged. I got way more into The Colour From Out Of Space.

I preferred Mandy to Colour Out of Space but thought it was great as well. I need a good break between Nic Cage being Nic Cage movies.

https://youtu.be/fOONIlhXFh4 full on Cage. This gets me every time. Truly comical

I went to see Prey for the Devil last night with some friends, worst film I've ever seen, pathetic storyline, shite acting, crappy effects, not in th eleast bit scary, not funny, just meh, pure and utter tripe. Don't waste your time.

Night before I watched Mr Harrigans Phone on Netflix because the original short story by Stephen King was good, but they kept it exactly the same as the short story and its all fully covered in the trailer, nothing else to see in the movie, just stupid filler, not worth the 1.5hrs of your life.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Watched Casper with the wee lad and then Us this evening. Both entertaining.

Talking about Mandy there..Panos Cosmatos has a new one out called The Viewing, it's part of that "Cabinet of Curiosities" series on Netflix. More style over substance but if you liked his first 2, you'll love this.
