Elya’s most liked review
What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? 2021
So that's what magic feels like. It's the heat of the sun, the sound of children playing, the uniting atmosphere of a major sporting event. The moment when you close your eyes and let the film take over. Star-crossed lovers gets a painful refresh to its meaning, though it's easy…

Hooptober Part VIII: Elya Takes Satan's Claw | Halloween 2021
Definitely some extra folk horror in there and I really wanted to stretch out the geography. No rewatches officially but we'll see. (ETA: one rewatch)
As always, huge shouts to Cinemonster for the good old spooky challenge that gets me trawling the depths of my watchlist.
Happy Hooptober!
