Yeah, really enjoying Bava. In The Earth has opened up Wheatley’s filmography, so I need to backtrack and watch his other stuff.
La Llorona was a nice mix of horror and politics from Guatemala.

VC was good, as I mentioned previously, but a little stuffy at times.
I've enjoyed everything I've seen from Wheatley. I'd probably rank them like this:

Kill List
Field in England
Free Fire
Sightseers
High Rise

Possessor is probably one of my favorite explorations of

body swapping, and specifically the way that her mind and his mind become entangled. I thought that aspect was really great.
