TORNADO
A sumptuously shot samurai revenge western set in Scotland (obviously).
A lot darker and more deliberately paced than I was expecting, but engaging performances from Tim Roth and Koki and an unreal job by DOP Robbie Ryan make for a really decent watch

QUIZ SHOW
Gripping and perfectly pitched classic Hollywood movie that has aged like a fine wine. Flawlessly directed by Redford and with an ensemble cast for the ages. It could have won every award had it not been released in 1994

Great shout. I’ve not met anyone ever thats seen the film Watcher In The Woods, but that’s mine. Properly messed me up as a kid, couldn’t finish it and I’ve still never been able to rewatch it, even though I’m 45 and it’s a PG rated Disney film. It’s seriously seriously creepy though

BASKET CASE
A slow start gives way to a hilariously gory B-movie, with some of the funnest horror deaths I’ve seen since Braindead. I howled at the practical FX and danced a jig at the stop motion animated monster. A blast.

BRING HER BACK
A remorselessly dark and intense second feature from the Philippou Bros. They may be goofballs but they make proper (and very watchable) horror films. Hawkins delivers possibly a career best performance in this pitch black study of grief.

THE WICKER MAN
An annual comfort rewatch & one of my all-time favourite films. A genre of one, much imitated, never bettered. The music, the lore, the relentlessly sinister cast, not-Britts bum & the horny strangeness of every aspect of the world. Love!

HALLOW ROAD
Obvious comparisons to Locke, except the Welsh accent in this didn’t make me want to self immolate & the stakes were higher than the logistics of pouring concrete. It’s got an escalating tension sold wonderfully by Rhys and Pike. Simple but effective.

PONTYPOOL
Another Zombie Virus film? Ah go on then. This one is an inventive and claustrophobic take on a well trodden genre. Probably cost next to nothing to make, but a great script and clever directing ramp up the tension and make this sing. I enjoyed it a lot!

An excellent companion film to the superb His House (though nowhere near as scary). Class, race, motherhood, white privilege, folk horror and the immigrant experience blend together in this dreamy mood piece. Superb cast and beautifully shot to boot

My Prime algorithm throwing up some mad shit now. This sounded like a slasher but turned out to be too grisly even for me, so had to FF some bits. I’m still counting it as a watch, even though I missed someone probably getting their spleen liquidised in great detail
