The Invitation 2016 Dir: Karyn Kusama *SPOILERS AHEAD* We've all been there. That awkward scenario when an ex invites you to a dinner party; you don't wanna go because that's the house you used to live in, also because you think your former spouse is now in a cult, and you have a sneeking suspicion … Continue reading Midnight Massacre

Simon’s Bullshit
The Gift (2015) Dir: Joel Edgerton When Joel Edgerton sat down and made this film did he literally just think "Hmm....how random and absurd could one plot twist be? Let's find something a bit far fetched, roll with that for a bit, and then, right at the end... lets just fuck shit up completely" Don't … Continue reading Simon’s Bullshit
Vice Docs gone wrong
The Sacrament (2013) Dir: Ti West Three flannel wearing, New York hipsters who work for Vice (stay with me), go to the middle of nowhere to find some dude's sister ("Patrick" being dude in question). In short she joined a cult dressed up as a rehab center, found God, and sent her brother a letter … Continue reading Vice Docs gone wrong
Black Mess
Black Mass (2015) Dir: Scott Cooper Slightly off topic, (mainly because there aren't enough horror movies around to warrant an hour of thought), I've opted for Johnny Depp horrifying us all with his rotton front tooth and deeply dehydrated skin. Theres been more gangster biopics lately then we've had in a while. After Legend I … Continue reading Black Mess
Revisited: Orphan
Well...what can I say. Round of applause to the guy that made this. YOU sir, deserve a drink. like...where do I even begin? I've spend the past hour shouting profanities at my laptop and wanting a 9 year old dead so badly (even though she's really 33...we'll get there), that my brain is actually overwhelmed … Continue reading Revisited: Orphan
Deliver us from tired scripts
Sometimes I go and watch horror movies and I'm all like "meh". The usual haunted house/scary Japanese chick with long hair/young possessed catholic girl/ hillbillies who eat people situation. As a horror fan you get so used to these formulas then eventually you're just like immune...and often jaded...and that's fine I guess, just a bit … Continue reading Deliver us from tired scripts
Maniac: Revisted
Even though it wasn't actually out that long ago, (fine...its only recently become available on Netflix). I feel that this month's revisited should go to Elijah Wood for acting like a crazy fool. Or Frodo goes Loco as Total film put it. He's actually so mind-blowing crazy in this film its beyond words.The worst part … Continue reading Maniac: Revisted
Newness: Only Lovers Left Alive
I'm gonna be frank, what I expected was not what I got. That's not to suggest that what I got was bad, because I did enjoy this film, and most importantly it didn't leave me angry, which is an unusal turnaround of events. Based on anger not being the dominant emotion, and based on the … Continue reading Newness: Only Lovers Left Alive
