  この仮面はとても怖かったですが、「鬼婆」は素晴らしかったですよ。

  Men 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 30 Nov 2023

  This film is bonkers in the best way. A high slide of folk and body horror that here’s under your skin but the highs it reached didn’t all quite gel together for me. 

  Possibly because I know the area well, some of the ideas here were really interesting and visually very striking. 

  Also kudos for a film with so much male nudity. Makes a nice change to tip that particular balance.

  The Feast 2021

  ★★★½ Watched 28 Nov 2023

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

  I enjoyed this. It’s a massive slow burn but the pay off is wild and distinctive. Loved the folk horror elements.

  The main character is really unnerving and it’s really nice to find out why.

  Children of the Stones 1977

  ★★★★★ Watched 06 Jul 2018 1

  They originally made this for kids? Wow. Some compelling storytelling here and some mind-bending time events to process too.  

  This was scored perfectly. I imagine it spooked a good many of its original audience because the wailing gave me chills at times. 

  Went to watch one episode and ended up watching the entire thing in one big creepy binge. Superb.

  Martin's Close 2019

  ★★★½ Watched 24 Dec 2019

  Interesting and briefly chilling, but like many such adaptions much too short.
