Horror films

Re-watched Alien vs. Predator. The first half is pretty rough but the second has enough non-stop action to mostly make up for it. When they used the CGI Aliens it actually wasn't bad and probably better then Covenant in all honesty. Also the eye candy.....

I quite enjoyed Late Night With The Devil. Was it essentially just another exorcism movie when all is said and done? Sure. But I really appreciated the setting and visuals, the overall way the story was told was interesting and held my attention. Perhaps a movie that’s parts are better than the full package.
 
Well 'Strait-Jacket' was as camp as tits. First time watch and so much trashy fun. I couldn't tell if Joan Crawford was playing mad really well or she couldn't hide her feelings having being reduced to schlock. It wouldn't have worked without her though.
 
An otherwise uninteresting German slasher film was elevated by virtue of having no English subtitles on YouTube, so the live translate function provided me gems such as: “The cake itself carried away with it!” and "You must utter at me! You are the one with the technical knowledge shoes!"
 
I have a short story collection with Victorian horror stories. I read it 15-20 years ago. One of the stories, The Mezzotint, stayed with me.

As I recognized one of the voice actors from Horizon Zero Dawn from Midsomer Murders ages ago (does that show still air???), I discovered they made a 30 minute short film in 2021 and (because I'm obsessed) I hunted it down and watched it.

It was fairly decent. It definitely didn't overstay its welcome and it didn't feel too short either. They made some changes to the story, which I guess was supposed to tie the whole thing together, but it ended up causing a bit of a plothole/major coincidence instead. There doesn't seem to be many adaptations of it, so it's worth watching for people who enjoyed the short story.

This sounds like the kind of movie watching experience I would love.
 
I’m not sure if it’s because I wasn’t in the mood for something so bleak or not, I didn’t like The Wicked and The Dark very much. Well acted and a definite mood setter, I just didn’t find a whole lot to be enjoyed about it.
