Watched Horror

Bad Moon is directed like a 90s family movie but with werewolves and brutal death scenes. The plot is simple and unoriginal but it's still really enjoyable. Great special effects and gruesome gore. Long live Thor!

In a Violent Nature is the best Slasher love letter since the Hatchet series. Playing all the tropes from the genre and making something fresh out of them. Creative kills and gore galore! Yoga death!

Horror in the high desert makes the most out of what seems a super small budget. Faux-documentary style, the performances are somewhat credible. I think they stretch the mystery for far too long before showing anything interesting.

Destroy all Neighbors is just insane. Tons of fun is to be had here if you take it for what it is. It oozes creativity and doesn't take itself seriously. I can't help but to connect with it being a struggling musician myself.

Saw it again in the theatre for its 40th anniversary. It's still an unbeatable classic. Tense, dirty, mean spirited and vile. Thank you Tobe Hooper

Skinamarink is an odd one. I would've rated it lower because its a very demanding watch but I respect the way that it sticks to is concept all the way through with no compromise. Be warned lots of wall staring ahead!

Immaculate is far from being spotless. It's got a great cast and seemed to have benefited from a decent budget. However the cinematography is rather bland and uninspired. Similarly the story adds nothing new to this classic tale.

Season 1: Candle Cove

I can safely say that this is what I consider one of the best modern horror show ever made. Season 1 is pure nightmare fuel. The fact that it's mostly set during the day is a feat in itself. The build up of mystery, tension and things that gets under your skin is marvelous. This will stay in your subconscious for a long time.

Daddy's Head has a lot going for it. Further proving that horror is most effective when it serves as metaphor for frightening real life challenges. It's beautifully shot. The actors delivery is strong and uncompromising. It's tense, sad and creepy throughout. The underlying themes here are very similar to Takashi Miike's Visitor Q.

This is a rewatch. I remember the first time I came in contact with TTTDS was watching the sequel. Not only the title was heavy but the movie as well. Then I found out about the original not long after. This is a weird one for me, as much as the sequel is bleak this one is a bit all over the place. The scenes with the Phantom are tense, violent and memorable. The movie however starts by wanting to be an era piece and give us good context of the socio-political and economic setting of Texarkana post WWII. After a while it veers off into slapstick comedy which feel a bit out of place since its based on true events and the first 20 min is much more stern and realistic. It's like watch two movies at the same time. Never the less it is really enjoyable.

Oddity seems to be really loved by horror critics. I don't actually know what to think of it. On one hand it offers really interesting characters and themes but is undermined by the main story line that really reminds me of those cheap soap opera twists. There's many revolving pieces that we don't get to explore in depth. Its one of those rare occasions where I think this would have benefited from being made in mini serie instead of a feature film. All in all its a good watch, pretty creepy but underdeveloped.

Stopmotion to my understanding tackles themes that might not connect with everyone. The inner struggle of finding your own voice as an artist. Comparing yourself to the legacy of accomplished artists. Who is in the driver's seat when creating, yourself? or are you just a vessel for the unseen hands of creation? Is suffering needed to create something relevant? It's very powerful for people that had to come in contact with those questions. To others it might end up being just a weird arthouse movie with cool stopmotion animations.

Late night with the devil is a very engenious piece of story telling. The context and subjects keeps you guessing at every turn and is unpredictable throughout the first watch. It also got many references to real life people and events which is an added bonus if you know about them. It's a really fun watch reminiscent of Tales from the Crypt and Creepshow. Entertaining horror with clever twists! Love it!

One of the most original possession movies since The last Exorcism. Poignant and terrifying. A modern classic in my book!

I'm not a huge fan of anthologies in general. This one was decent with some of the shorts more original than others. They seem to have a decent budget this time around. Good, entertaining but nothing super memorable.

Prevenge is much more a Black Comedy than a horror film. Being British the humour is snarky and dark. The plot is pretty sad but the movie maintains a good balance between comedy and drama. In terms of horror content it's pretty tame and the violence that is there is somewhat underwhelming. All in all its an entertaining movie with some good actors but the horror aspect could've been better exploited.

Lake Bodom is a beautifully shot movie with good performances throughout. It tries to so something smart with the Slasher genre but falls flat by shoehorning twists one after the other. Still, it's worth watching until the end. The tow truck scene is a feat in itself and is utterly beautiful.

The devil's bath is a great example of a director that uses Horror to speak about the human experience and hardships. Although it's a historical movie it tackles subjects that are still really relevant today. It's masterfully done and never falls into melodrama or cheesy territory. It's also visually striking and bold. It's not a feel good movie but it's a very rewarding watch. Cudos!

I almost made it to the end. Maybe it's better in 3D but I just didn't connect with it...

It's bold, stylish and brutal. You're gonna come out of it with more questions than answer but I thoroughly enjoyed the ride and concept!
