Satanic possession movie.

Generally speaking, that's just not my kind of horror.

Similarly, I recently watched The First Omen after hearing such good things about it. I thought that was an overhyped piece of shite. The only great part was when Damien was finally born and the classic Jerry Goldsmith latin chant kicked in.

I actually quite liked the First Omen, i probably enjoyed that more because I didn't realise it was even supposed to be connected to the Omen series until the end (yes I know it was called the first omen but omen is also just a word that is likely to be used in any film like that)

…The Grand Seduction……just a really solid wholesome movie about a harbour town struggling to support itself …it doesn’t rely on anything other than a good story, great and likeable characters to root for and excellent acting……8.5/10…

So there's no bad ass Femme Fetale kicking ass?

But being serious, I do like to see stuff do well that isn't overly relying on gimmicks.

…it’s just a total absolute delight of a story…a great autumn/winter afternoon movie…(…although I watched it in an evening and it was equally gorgeous…)…

That's great to hear.

It's good to see that we (as in the public) are starting to get away from everything having to be a Superhero Movie.

I fancied an “easy watch” last night before bed and found a lovely little gem of a film on Netflix.

“Our Souls at Night”, starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. Basically about two widowed, lonely, old neighbours who find solace and belonging in each other. Really lovely, gentle film.

Aw that’s fantastic! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I love films like that. Perfect “sofa with a blanket and a cuppa” movie.

No offense here, but is that seriously the name of the Film?

Yeah it is. But of a strange one.

It’s adapted from a book of the same name.

Fair enough.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it, regardless of what I personally think of the title.

……yeah that’s exactly what it was and it’s left me looking forward to the Christmas movie season for that same vibe…

…The Water Diviner…this was another find that was actually pretty good, very heartfelt and I think, based on a true story…an Australian man travels to Turkey after the Battle of Gallipoli to try to locate the bodies of his three sons and bring them back to their home country…the scenery is beautiful and a very emotional story, liked it a lot…7/10…

…The Autopsy of Jane Doe……very creepy and very claustrophobic and totally relying on scare and atmosphere and building tension and anticipation, rather than on gore and screen violence…it really did trigger every claustrophobic bone in my body …very well done…6.5/10….

…it was so layered I thought because other than the horror aspect, there was also that touching on Salem and all of the young females being completely innocent but so horrifically and horrendously treated and how the tragedy of it all was…as well as creating something evil where none had existed in the first place, for the horror story aspect…she wanted others to experience what she had suffered in her tortures and continued to suffer endlessly because what had been created was immortal suffering and pain….so tragic and horrifically sad…
