Just from 2018 onwards. I'll be buggered if I'm looking back through everything I've ever watched!

F9 2021
It's alright. Takes an age to get going though and the plot is your basic 'different parties all hunting the same MacGuffin' with lots of added Fast & Furious 'all about the family' annoying shit.

I'd probably put it one notch above #6, but it doesn't come close to the greats of the franchise (1, 5, 7, 8, H&S)

It was pretty funny in places too, although some of the jokes were obvious and dated.
But really, it looked great - some fantastic lighting and sets here, it was good fun, and didn't go in an expected direction. A nice little light-comedy horror worth checking out.

The Sadness 2021
Man, I reckon writer / director Rob Jabbaz is probably on some government lists, because dude is pretty fucked up.
This was a wild, bloody, darkly funny gorefest the likes of which we rarely see these days. I had a blast with it.
I mean, it's gore for gore's sake and just tries to be as extreme as possible, but then that's kind of the essence of exploitation cinema, so why not?
The gore effects are just superb. Loads of…
