I haven't but I'm going Wednesday. I have a feeling it's going to be a horror in the sense Lars von triers antichrist is a horror movie. That's ok by me but I totally get why it alienates audiences.

I think a familiarity with Aronofsky might help your appreciation of it. The marketing makes it seem more of a mainstream film that it probably is.

I've booked to see Mother! later today along with, American Assassin and the Odeon Scream Unseen movie which is believed to be The Ritual. All the feedback on Mother! from the people i know who have seen it is it is a head **** so looking forward to it.

Busy day for you!
I'd expect The Ritual too, it looks pretty good, there is a strong rumour that it's Flatliners though...

Since me Paris Texas wouldn't work

It Comes At Night (2017, Trey Edward Shults)
After some sort of outbreak, society has crumbled. A family living in an isolated farmhouse have to deal with an intruder.
That's all I am going to say here. Another attempt at subverting the horror film. See for yourself if theyve succeded.....

The Daughter (2015, Simon Stone)
Inspired by Ibsen isn't a screen credit I see very often nowadays. Another film where the rich trample on those 'below' them .... whilst Sam Neill is always worth watching, he hasn't much to do here.

The Terror of the Tongs (1961)

Bordering on horror, this Christopher Lee starrer is in my opinion, along with the following years Captain Clegg, the best of the Hammer historical films

Filmed in lush Eastmancolor with a pounding score by James Bernard which has echoes of his classic Dracula theme (Don't they all?) and some superb studio sets.

A very lively plot involving Lee's Red Dragon Tong terrorizing the streets near Hong Kong harbour until they murder the daughter of a British sea captain (Geoffrey Toone) who vows to end the cult's reign of terror - With strong support from Yvonne Monlaur, Marne Maitland, and Roger Delgado. - as well as a tight 76 minutes running time ensure not a moment is wasted. The action comes thick and fast and is remarkably bloody for 1961 - fingers are lopped off as part of the blood soaked carnage on offer.

Some will suggest it's racist having the likes of Christopher Lee playing a Hong Kong native but he's excellent in this and clearly the best man for the role. Besides the film boasts the talents of Burt Kwouk, Ric Young among others as well.

Recommended.

Fish Story (2009)



The story of how one song by a Japanese punk band ended up saving the world. Told in 4 seemingly unconnected stories, one from each decade between 1975 and 2012.

An absolutely bonkers story which really grows on you if you let it, one of those it shouldn't work but it does films!
