Rate The Last Movie You Saw

The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw (2020)

Someone described this as a mix between The VVitch and Rosemary's Baby, and I don't find much fault in that though I'd add The Blackcoat's Daughter to the mix (the actress playing Audrey even looks a little like Kiernan Shipka). It's not a scary horror but an atmospheric one, slow burner and beautifully shot (except for some night shots that look rather awful). Probably the best new horror film this year.

gosh 3/5?
i love that movie one of my 1st favorite movie of all time

There's so much going on in this film. Miike's typically twisted images are there but the underlying themes of mucked up families, guilt, adultery, lust (and mostly loneliness) make it a seriously impressive psychological horror.

Recently de-subscribed myself. Have you seen much of Leigh's work? I've still quite a lot to catch up on but enjoyed all of his work so far.

Agreed. So messed up, great film.

Lisa and David (1962)

White of the Eye (1987)


Really enjoyed this. Bit of a mad ending though!

Only seen Naked, All or Nothing and Nuts in May. All good. Secrets and Lies is my next from him. Another Year is supposed to be good to.

Naked and Another Year are my favourite of his. High Hopes is great too, you should bump that up your list. Still not seen Secrets and Lies, its my next too.

Don't forget Life Is Sweet and my personal fav of his Happy-Go-Lucky too.

Snooze factor = Z


[Snooze Factor Ratings]:
Z = didn't nod off at all
Zz = nearly nodded off but managed to stay alert
Zzz = nodded off and missed some of the film but went back to watch what I missed
Zzzz = nodded off and missed some of the film but went back to watch what I missed but nodded off again at the same point and therefore needed to go back a number of times before I got through it...
Zzzzz = nodded off and missed some or the rest of the film but was not interested enough to go back over it

Interesting on Season of the Witch, that's that skips the normal Myers storyline right?

Yes, it's actually really good, it has a self contained story but fits right in the franchise

Smokey and the Bandit (1977)

I'm suprised it'd get that low of a rating, what's the reason?

1917 10/10. possibly my favorite war movie ever.

死霊の罠 (1988)
aka Evil Dead Trap

Considering the cult status of this film, it was extremely disappointing. 100 minutes of aimless wandering, poor and unimaginative kills, senseless plot, and a couple of soft-core porn sex scenes don't equal a good movie.

Hard Target (1993)

A mediocre van Damme that didn't improve on rewatch. I wonder if Woo was serious about this, or did he turn this into a joke after the studio interference, but it feels like a parody of him. There are some nice scenes, but also far too many needless slow-mos and freeze frames. Oh, and too many somersaults and wasted shots.
