  Speak No Evil 2022

  ★★ Watched 28 Sep 2023

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Dumbo twist alert - The wife who was the most vocal and suspicious calls the very people she was desperate to get away from, and had a few hours earlier tormented their child to tears in front of her. Plus the husband doesn’t tell his wife what he discovered, if he did she’s definitely not calling them for help. She seemed so fine with them at that point as if the lead up to that point didn’t happen. 

  It’s a shame because what came before was good uncomfortable and awkward.

  It Lives Inside 2023

  ★★★ Watched 18 Sep 2023

  The first half is great, a nice creepy slow build, what comes after really loses what is good about the film.

  Total Recall 1990

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Aug 2012 10

  I watched this in Glasgow's GFT last night with a room of like-minded people who appreciate the cheesy wonder of this excellent sci-fi.

  The one liners were cheered and received mighty laughs, which made the film even better.

  I even thought the special effects stood up and the eye popping scenes were great.

  If you get the chance to see it in a cinema do so, it really enhances the film greatly.

  Highlight of the film was my brother hitting the giggles for about 5 minutes and starting me off.

  Great stuff.
