IFI Horrorthon Part 3
Movie: Sweetie, You Won’t Believe It
Country: Kazakhstan
Plot: Looking to escape his nagging and heavily pregnant wife, a man goes on a fishing trip with his two best bros, until they run afoul of an eccentric crime family and a mysterious killing machine
Review: A modestly enjoyable experience but easily the weakest of my Horrorthon Day 1 movies. There are genuinely funny moments and some good action, but there’s something too Todd Phillips-y about it for my liking
IFI Horrorthon Part 2
Movie: Midnight
Country: South Korea
Plot: After inadvertently saving another person from a serial killer, a deaf woman finds herself the killer’s next target.
Review: Here’s a taut, we’ll paced, genuinely surprising thriller buoyed by some excellent performances. It’s Korean, so naturally it includes some batshit twists and turns (perhaps a few too many for my liking). If some of the plot contrivances feel a little forced, it doesn’t do much to lessen the overall impact. First time director Kwon Oh-Seung is a talent to watch out for
Since the pubs are still closed, this is what I’m reduced to.
Happy St Patrick’s Day folks ☘️🇮🇪
