Over the weekend I watched Talk to Me. I'm a total horror movie geek but I was surprised at how much this movie unnerved me. It was depressing as hell and had me feeling so sorry for one of the characters that my sympathy kind of weighed me down. Since that one left me feeling so downbeat, I followed it up with a palate cleanser and watched The Zone of Interest. All I can say is that it deserved all the accolades it received and definitely earned the awards it won. Chilling and mesmerizing. Those last few minutes really packed a punch. Last and definitely least, I watched Night Swim. The scariest part about it how wasted Kerry Condon's talent was. Total took the job to buy the house kind of move for her.

This weekend I want to try and watch a couple movies and documentaries in between baseball and catching up on Coronation Street.

i loved Talk to Me too, it unnerved/unsettled me in a way no horror movie has since hereditary. idk how to do a spoiler cut lol but is the character you felt sorry for the little brother, or the main girl? i felt so sorry for them both, as well as others. i've been thinking about the film more and i think it's one of the few horror movies where its thematic content (grief) didn't feel perfunctory or secondary to the horror aspects -- it felt like it really explored what grief can do to you, including producing incredible desperate loneliness.

It was definitely the little brother. I wanted to feel some type of way towards the main character for doing what she did but couldn't because of the reasons why she believed she had to do it. I was surprised by how visceral a reaction I had while watching it. I knew it had received good buzz but wasn't expecting to be so affected by it.

I saw The First Omen this week and aside from some clunky exposition and weird pacing, I REALLY enjoyed it. It was unsettling and genuinely scary with a feminist bent that worked. That's what happens you let women direct!!

i saw civil war yday

i had only seen trailers of the film and didnt know anything about it but the trailers present a VERY different film to what you actually get

I really want to see Civil War and am intrigued by In Flames, that trailer made me nervous plus I love watching movies not from Europe or the US
