Watched Mother last night as it's on Netflix. Really liked it. Think I  need to watch it again though as it's weird enough.

Gave Conclave a second watch tonight. Enjoyed it even more than first time. Visually beautiful, powerfully acted, and full of wisdom (for those with ears to hear).

I've only watched it once myself and agree. I watched Noah the other night, fairly epic by all accounts. Mother is definitely a better Aronofsky film. I watched 28 years later the bone temple the other night. I really enjoyed, I like that every film in the series is different and has its own vibe.

The last two 28 Years Later have been ridiculous. And I don't mean that positively.

Saw the new one yesterday and it is fucking nonsense, honestly, like think about the plot line, it's like something out of a Troma film. THAT scene (the metal related one) just made me cringe.


I will watch the newest one out of morbid curiosity but thought the last one was total shite.

I'm curious to see Bone Temple, it's been getting absolute rave reviews. Featuring a gang all dressed like Jimmy Saville was a choice...

Absolute fucking shite, glad I came here to see a sane opinion. It's been getting rave reviews everywhere else I've seen  :-X

I've said before and will say again: the bar for modern horror is low, particularly that aimed at a mainstream/Hollywood audience

Great watch about a Scottish lad with tourettes. Wholesome, heartbreaking and hilarious.

Read about his story a few weeks ago so really looking forward to the film.

Watched an early 1990s thriller with Tom Berenger and Bob Hoskins called Shattered. Really liked it and the twist is so ridiculous but I never saw it coming.

Stoned was another one I watched about Brian Jones from the Rolling Stones. Thought it was pretty good. It focuses more on him rather than the band

Saw Bone Temple as well. Didn't like it. I didn't like the previous one either. Can't really see the point of them tbh

Saw it in the cinema last night on a whim. I'd barely even heard of it but a friend wanted to go. It's essentially Cujo but with a chimp. It was fairly daft but entertaining. Some good 80s style gore and it passed 90 minutes fairly easily. I wouldn't necessarily call it good, but it was enjoyable in the same way 80s b-movie trash is enjoyable. Could have been so much better though...

Train Dreams. Really enjoyed this one.

Have it on the list.

The last great horror film for me was the Exorcist 3 nothing since even comes close to it and that film will be 36 years old this year.
I got to see the Exorcist 3 in the cinema last year when I was out of the country which was great.
