  The Criterion Challenge 2021 (Film 35 of 52)
  #17 - 1990s

  Whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA!

  You're telling me the man who wrote and directed this piece of cinematic brilliance also played the mugger outside Bruce Willis's apartment in The Fifth Element?!?

  The Podcast Macabre 2022 Horror Challenge (28 of 52)
  #22 - From the 1960s I haven't seen before

  Not what I expected, and that made it better. Nice bit of gaslighting.

  Antrum 2018

  ★★★★½ Watched by Chris Duck 29 Dec 2019 1

  Alternative titles:

  - A Boy And His Dog . . . And The Devil
  - Not All Dogs Go To Heaven
  - Hansel & Gretel Go Grindhouse
  - The Blair Ditch Project

  I've got a strong feeling this is a late contender to be in my top ten horror films of 2019. Highly recommended!

  The Woman in Black 2012

  ★★★★ Watched by Chris Duck 10 Feb 2012 3

  This is a great lesson in atmospheric horror. Nice, slow building tension with mysterious happenings. Frequent moments of "did you just see that thing move?" and "Behind you, Harry Potter!!" spookiness. I jumped a few times and had goosebumps at least once. I know it was based on a stage play per other people's posts, and I'd love to see it. All in all, an excellent return of Hammer Studios.
