think im keeping the nextflix, just wanted to let you know guys |

Just keep it for a month, watch everything you want, cancel it. Wait 6 months. Get it for a month, watch everything you want, cancel it. repeat forever. They don't add worthwhile stuff regularly enough to keep it all the time imo. |

Mini Hitchcock Season Sunshine (Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's ponderous, depressing, ultimately stupid Sci-Fi with horrible music) - 1.5/5 (Sunshine? more like Sunshite amirite!?!?!?) |

Rope is my favourite Hitchcock. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
It is good, very good. A bit gay. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It isn't, of course, all one take, as some would have it, as in those days the reels were only up to 10 minutes long. There are also 4 cuts, not including the initial cut from the titles to the interior, that aren't disguised at all. Can you spot them all?!?!?!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that might be why it's my favourite. |

Ghost Stories - 8/10. Right up my alley, would have been a 9 if it wasn't so reliant on jump scares. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Glad you enjoyed it :) Have you seen other UK horror films such as A Lonely Place to Die and The Borderlands? (I'm presuming you've seen/know of the Ben Wheatley stuff already) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've seen The Borderlands, one of the best horrors in a long time imo. 9/10 from me. Just ordered A Lonely Place To Die :) |

sesame street: bert and ernie's great adventures - 10/10 - all day eveyday |

The Endless (2017) - smart, funny and creative sci fi fantasy horror with a smidgen of comedy and social satire, from the guys who made Spring (also highly recommended) and Resolution (which I haven't seen but I will now). 8/10 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah that's the one. It's so good because it starts off so subtle with the scares, little movements and sounds that you might not consciously notice, then just ramps up and up and goes full cosmic horror. Great stuff. The Endless is on my watchlist for my 31 Days of Horror next month |

Caught Philadelphia on telly, hadn’t seen it since it’s original theatrical release. Some of the directing is a bit dated but you can see this was an important film. 7 (That Neil Young song at the end is heartbreaking) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You actually have a watchlist for that! I'm always too fucking lazy and end up scrambling for October goodies. I ought to hit up some Letterboxd lists I fav'd and the torrent sites. If you have any recommendations of Borderlands quality, please dish. |

Avengers Assemble Huh huh Beavis, you said Ass. NowTV had it listed as a 5/5 film. More like 2/5. |
||||||||
|

Sorry, a bit off topic, but still Halloween-y, you mentioning Pyewacket reminded me of this folky song , which I've not listened to in about 30 years. |

Xltronic: the Movie Might have to watch this one again. Messy, arrogant, no plot, shit acting and yet I feel like watching again. |

Affliction - pleasant surprise for a found footage movie, 6/10 I had to change all the BFI movies on my October list as you can see |

Tri∆ngle - 5/5 - A moving extended Twilight Zone episode. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Johnny English 2/5 - wanted to like it so much but the comedy is thin. Needed more witty jokes. The narrative is fine, a standard 80s style bond film. Should be witty not childish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you mean Afflicted (2014)? If so it was great fun, reminded me of As Above So Below Mr. Lol - yeah Triangle was a little masterpiece |

Watched that new Johnny English on acid in the week, can't remember a single thing about it. Cinema was cool tho. Xltronic the movie would be many intersecting narratives and totally non-linear time and fucking rool... Would end like Fear & Loathing, '...with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.' .. with the box fade-out. Not sure which member would be saying that. |

rewatched The Witch... I'm sure they put some effect on Finchy out of the Office's voice on that, make him sound like SunnO))) tracks with vocs.. ace film. |

Yes I did mean that, sorry! Perfect Host - 3/10 Ant-Man 2 - 5/10 Still/Born - 6/10 surprisingly good! Malevolent - 7/10 I really enjoyed this BUT they go to the effort of getting all that 90s video equipment and use it for one shot. what a waste when the difference in aesthetics etc could have been very effective. also don't understand why the main siblings were american unless it's to appeal to yankee audiences? Changeling 1980 - 7/10 Hereditary - 8/10 |

Apostle - 8/10 right up my alley though I can see why it's not everyone's cup of tea. |

I find cult movies especially gruelling, as I've read a lot about cults and I can usually tell what's going to happen and how things will end (not well). For example I love Ti West but I couldn't watch his fictionalized Jonestown movie. I had seen the original Jonestown movie when I was a kid and it disturbed the hell out of me. Couldn't sit through that story again. Might give this one a try as it looks different and unpredictable. |

Oh yeah I started watching The Haunting of Hill House series, because I found out it was Mike Flanagan's work. I loved his first movie Absentia. So first episode of Hill House gets a 9/10 from me. I've read the book and seen the original Robert Wise movie and I like Mike's spin on it and how he's reworked the characters. |

It's more supernatural than culty, the cult is the framework. There is some horrific torture though. I'll be watching haunting at hill house when I've got a week free for sure. Marlowe we have similar scores for thoroughbreds, I gave it an 8, but I didn't like Hellhouse LLC at all, it was a 4 for me. Halloween: Resurrection - 2/10 Going to see the new one on Sunday! |

Haunting at Hill House : 6.5 / 10 The scary parts are really scary, but cast is annoying and the constant flashbacks are dumb. Laurence Anyways : 9/10 The Ordeal : 10/10 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"more supernatural than culty" sounds promising. Misantroll, in some ways you and I are very different people. ;-) I thought the casting was perfect, and I like the spiral structure that keeps adding layers to the past & present story. |
