  Blue Velvet 1986

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 08 May 2022

  Roger Ebert was wrong 🧐

  Extraordinary and outstanding crime thriller; weird, twisted, fascinating, multilayered, violent and atmospheric.

  Not only a great prelude to Twin Peaks (Jeffrey is Dale, right? Among other glaring similarities) and probably Hopper's most powerful performance, just about everything from cinematography to music (especially Orbison's In Dreams) to dialogue to characters, is on a absolute top level.

  Personally after (everything) Twin Peaks definitely my favorite of Lynch's works.

  I totally recommend.

  Let’s Rock!
  
  The outstanding and mesmerizing prequel film to one of the greatest TV shows; strange, funny, tragic and disturbing, an absolute masterpiece!

  Horror in the High Desert 2021

  ★★ Watched 28 May 2023

  The Hills have Eyes meets The Blair Witch Project 😋

  Rather disappointing found footage horror; I was mostly put off by the pacing and the final act resp conclusion, which is pretty derivative and unsatisfying.

  I wouldn't recommend 😬 I'd go with Butterfly Kisses or Lake Mungo or Gonjiam Haunted Asylum 🧐

  Unwelcome 2022

  ★★ Watched 18 May 2023

  "[..] fucking useless."

  Utterly disappointing creature feature horror; predictable, cliched, laughable, annoying nonsense.

  They couldn't even get the basics right; the Far Darrig are solitary fairies, like Leprechauns, and are supposed to be more like mean spirited pranksters e.g the like to change babies with changelings 🧐

  Nah, I wouldn't recommend.

  The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness 2021

  ★½ Watched 09 May 2021 2

  Starts fairly interesting, but then descends into ridiculous, banal, sensationalistic satanic panic.

  To me an absolute inept and useless documentary!

  This Is England '86 2010

  ★★★★★ Watched 12 Apr 2021

  Bloody sublime drama in every way, and a fantastic follow up to the astonishing movie This is England.

  (And finally we get some proper representation, again 🥳 thanks Shane Meadows! So yeah, I’m very much biased 😁 Oi!Oi! 😉)

  My subcultural movie list.
