It's rare I review straight away. Sometimes I don't bother. Most times I wait for a re-watch or the delayed processing to complete so I can put my thoughts down. But yeah... Here we go.

We went from Don't Go In That House, Bitch to don't watch this film, bitch.

TheTryingScotsman's review of 'Jimmy and Stiggs' on Letterboxd.

The review reads: "Well. I was really looking forward to this and I'm disa-fucking-pointed.

I'm Scottish so naturally swear a lot but fuck me with a swear jar sideways, this is way over the top.

It's like a cross between a Trevor Kill Frenzy and the Grass Roots mission in GTA V but less fun, less cool and lacking any sort of point.

Anyway, fuck this shit I'm out."

Imagine if they did a horror reimagining of Friday. Craig and Smokey trying to outrun the terrifying Deeboo as he cycles round on Red's beach cruiser (after having brutally stabbed him). Stanley has set up various traps to protect his grass and John Witherspoon runs into Cujo.

Alt: Craig (Ice Cube) and Smokey (Chris Tucker) sitting on the porch saying "Daaaaamn".

Well. The Mutilator was... An experience 😅

My favourite part was Joe Bob stumbling over his tongue at this...

Okay so it's not just near the beginning. The music choices here are insane 😅

The Trying Scotsman @thetryingscotsman.co.uk · 3d

The music near the beginning is so jarring. It sounds more like some cheesy wholesome flick/sit-com as opposed to a slasher 😅

Hellraiser (1987), Night Breed, Lord of Illusions are ones he's directed. Other work would be: Underworld (1982), Rawhead Rex, Hellraiser 2, Candyman, Candyman Farewell to the Flesh.

Not sure the rest count as they're based on his work/characters (like the rest of the Hellraiser series).

The Trying Scotsman @thetryingscotsman.co.uk · 4d

Has anyone already suggested adding Clive Barker's work?
