“Sickening film...loved it! One of the most visceral and probably realistic depictions of a psychopath's sadistic thrill for murder. Really disturbing and vile, and it is quite shocking. The movie is shot wonderfully, great music, and goddamn, that's a lovely dog! :)”

Review of This Much I Know to Be True

This is simply one of the most beautiful pieces of visual media I've seen. The lighting, the camera work, the striking use of different aspect ratios, etc. The editing is remarkable, and the sound mix...

Review of Twin Peaks

I've been making my way through the David Lynch filmography for a good bit now, but I think when I get to the end, my first experience with him might still be my favorite. This first episode of Twin P...

Review of Ichi the Killer

what 💀 Wonderful ending to a bizarre, depraved and sometimes hilarious bloodbath of a movie with some really bad VFX (which is somewhat charming here). Obviously this is hard to watch, it's brutal, b...

Review of Hell House LLC

Stupid, dumb movie. Basically none of the scares land; there was only one moment that I actually felt unsettled. I just don't really understand what anyone would get out of this. Abaddon Hotel? Abaddo...

“Least favorite Lynch so far (which doesn't say much), but still wonderful and bizarre and extremely terrifying at points. I got to see the new 4K restoration at my local indie theater, and it was fantastic. The film looked amazing, and the sound design was very unsettling.”

Review of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

I love pretty much every single thing about this movie. It has a handful of my favorite shots in cinema, and the third act of this film is so relentlessly cruel that it left me on edge for about a wee...

“Extraordinarily impressive, nightmarish filmmaking. Nothing good ever happens at a European dance school.”

“...this has to be one of the THE worst remakes EVER!! Right?? It legitimately felt like the creators of this pathetic, watered down cash grab had never even watched the original movie. It misses the point of the original so badly that it's absurd. Nearly everything about this is absolutely awful. How do you fuck something up THIS badly? Shameful POS”

Review of Threads

I have a tendency to hyperbolize, but this is likely the most depressing, brutal and bleak thing I've seen. It is staggering in its depiction of nuclear destruction, and I am shocked that this was mad...

Review of 20,000 Days on Earth

Ostentatious bastard. This film, like the other two Nick Cave movies that have followed it, is a wonderful companion piece to the Bad Seeds record that was created around its time of filming. This was...

“emotional mindfuck”

“sigh”

“this could become a new favorite for sure. I just know these movies have to be so fucking painful the further you are along in life. this movie flew by, seriously felt like a half hour. looking forward to the final one”

“I'm praying on their downfall with these next movies, hate to see someone happy 😡 nah fr tho, this was great”

Review of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

Sheryl Lee delivers one of the most beautifully tortured performances ever. Watching this movie, you can tell how much Lynch loved this character, and the sympathy that FWWM has for Laura Palmer's suf...

Review of Häxan

Fairly boring for the first half, but the second half of this was very interesting, where the actual intent and ideas behind the movie become evident. I was caught mostly off guard with the conclusion...

“Obnoxious, stupid movie. Fine performances, some cool set pieces. Bad, cheap "scares", and some of the worst pacing I've seen in a movie.”

“Harrowing, intense, really hard to watch (especially the third act), and stunningly beautiful. Filmmaking at its finest and most important. Surely one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. I felt like I had some sort of PTSD while trying to sleep during the "independence day" fireworks last night.”

“what the fuck 😭”
