Cool movie - wasn't doing too much for me (though I'll never say no to nicotine-stained shots of cool lesbians shooting steroids/lifting weights/smashing etc.) until the v ambitious/forward-vibing third act, when it easily jumped up a star and concluded "very dope"-ly. A pastiche of a type of film that never existed - too A24 for its own good but a rare "decent and satisfying project" nonetheless.

Immaculate 2024
Could go with the simple/elegant "it's no Madame Web" but unfortunately, this is no Night Swim either.
Neo-nunsploitation without horniness or gay nun stuff, can't even pull off a jump-scare or a gore-wince - we're encountering a very unfortunate down-skilling of our low-mid-budget studio-adjacent horror film-makers and it's sapping my will to live :'(
Sydney Sweeney is decent though (at points as robotic as in the aforementioned MW but with more overall range).

Thought Crimes 2015
The best part of this documentary is that the Cannibal Cop is constantly preparing food.
