Bones And All

Cannibal confessional that proves you can make any topic boring by turning it into a long winded love story soundtracked by lilting plucked guitar notes.

The Menu

I was surprised to find myself watching an enjoyable romp through allegory, art theory and class warfare rather than the finely plotted mystery with clever twist that I was expecting.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Two hours of waiting for everybody to realise they’re just being a bit of a dickhead, with another half hour of a random new character in another new super suit bolted clumsily on the side.

The Ice Pirates

Cheap Sci-Fi action piece that leans hard into comedy to try and cover up the fact that it’s really shit. Would have got away with it if at any point it had managed to be funny.

I Spit On Your Grave [Day Of The Woman]

By far the most uncomfortable thing in this notorious nasty is that after being brutally gang raped the woman’s plan for vengeance involves having more sex with the men who raped her. I’ve never found myself in such a situation so I can’t judge, but ew, just slaughter them already.

Nine Guests For A Crime

A whole load of assholes rock up on an island, start indiscriminately shagging each other and then get killed off one by one in increasingly nasty ways. King.

The Dreaming

Awful made for TV tat about Australians being dickheads to Aborigines.

Tropic Of Cancer [Al tropico del cancro/ Peacock’s Place]

A very unusual hybrid of Mondo and Giallo set in Haiti. Giallo plots are often tricky to follow but this one is even more obscured than usual due to all the extended authentic voodoo rituals and extremely queasy slaughterhouse sequences.
