While Tobe Hooper loved a leading girl who could scream, Ari Aster clearly loves a leading girl who can put on a disturbing cry, the scene at the beginning when she breaks down is pretty **** wrenching. I also love the fact that it is shot entirely in daylight, certain parts may well have been a little telegraphed if you've seen these types of films before but I thought it was done well. Also Ari Aster clearly loves a bit of face trauma, I'm really looking forward to his next film, I'm pretty sure I read that he's going to be doing a comedy horror, that'll be really interesting considering that there is precisely zero laughs in Hereditary (which is great as well) and Midsommar It’s one of those that the more I think about the film after the better it’s getting. And I feel like another viewing would be well worth it as I’m guessing there’s lots of little details that foreshadow things later on in the movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a particularly grim killer who essentially lived a double life, one where he was a respected businessman and community leader and another were he was killing young men for his sexual gratification. Savile was a sexual predator who abused vulnerable children from a position of power and was bizarrely open about it, Gacy killed so many people he ran out of space to stash the bodies but went about his life as normal otherwise. On Gacy, he's got a famous line from one of his interviews with police when he was caught, which I always thought was brilliant for both being just a very darkly funny comment, but also for how revealing about what his mind was like it is. Refuting that he was responsible for murdering dozens, he replied 'the most I was guilty of was running an unlicensed cemetery!'. Also, his last words were supposedly 'Kiss my ass'. He is also the subject of a stunningly/disturbingly beautiful song by Sufjan Stevens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatest maths documentary in history IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Has anyone watched Firestarter yet? I'm going to stick it on later tonight, I'm not expecting much at all but its one of those that I need to at least watch once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a little bit closer to the book and as I'm not a fan of the original movie (gets much more love than it deserves imo) I thought it had a few bite that were better.

Can't wait. Yeah, this was fantastic. Wildly creative, very funny and quite touching in parts. Recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommended On a $25 million budget too . It's unbelievable how they did some of the effects. A tenth of Dr Strange's budget yet a thousand times a better film.

I thought 'Midsommar' was enjoyable hokum, I have nothing against it and I think I had it in my yearly top 10, but there wasn't anything original about it IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Really enjoyed The Northman - visually stunning and brutal fight scenes. Interesting that it was loosely based on the same folklore as Shakespeare's Hamlet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Mad what a bit of CGI can do to Birmingham From what I've read the bits in the big white open building is new street, I thought maybe at 9 seconds in that car chase could be round by snow hill The train stuff all looks very English countryside too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted May 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2022 Watching Le Mans '66 (or Ford vs Ferrari for the Yanks) and enjoying the film. It's gone up in my estimation a whole lot though for the lad wearing a classic Villa shirt. I literally bounced off the sofa and pointed at it like that meme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
