Killers Of The Flower Moon
A master at his peak flexing every part of his storytelling skills to deliver an epic. An excellent movie.

Dark Waters
There’s enough neat stuff here that this could have been amazing, but everything is so incoherent I had to have wikipedia open to be able to follow the plot and the sound mix is so excruciating I had to mute the last twenty minutes and watch with subtitles.

Il Demonio [The Demon]
A few moments of interest to be had in an otherwise dull film about superstition in southern Italy.

Freaky
Silly fun that’s entirely made by Vince Vaughn’s completely unwavering commitment to playing a teenage girl.
Arena
Some fairly decent special effects and a lead actor that isn’t shit meant that I enjoyed this.

Friday The 13th
I watched Friday The 13th on Friday the 13th and this time round I couldn’t help but now see it all as Bava pastiche, which made it even more ace. And Mrs Vorhees was still ace and baby Jason still made me jump even though I knew exactly when it was going to happen. Ace.

The Dungeonmaster [Ragewar]
An astonishingly bad film. I mean I know I watch some shit, but this genuinely made me question what the fuck am I doing wasting my life watching pure bollocks.

Il sogno dell'altro [The Dream Of The Other]
A far better example of how to exploit meagre TV studio sets to compellingly tell an old fashioned spooky story than the preceding three entries in the series but still entirely dwarfed by Bava’s episode.

The Creator
A tour through a visually resplendent fully realised world, following a drab and uninspired narrative.
