Sweet #Cinema, you vex me. You know I wince at #BodyHorror and still you tempt me with David Cronenberg's #CrimesOfTheFuture , his most recent nightmare. I must admit it repulsed and lured me in the ways that only he can. I felt entrenched as if inside a classic #Scifi novel. Yet I'm not kinky enough for repeat servings... Next up: his son's Infinity Pool.
With its gut-wrenching #SciFi concept, #InfinityPool says more about colonial tourism than the typical #WhiteLotus episode. Though I was left unmoved by its conclusion.
I must say it was also excellent. I enjoyed Laurie's characterization as well as her daughter and granddaughter. And it is always a delight to see one of my favorite #HeyItsThatGuy Will Patton.
I'm not going to say it was better than 1978 because Feral Teenager is hovering over my shoulder now and will be insufferable if I do.

Now he's trying to convince me to watch #HalloweenKills but I'm going to make him watch #Alien first.
#EvilDeadRise is a substantial improvement from 2013's #EvilDead reboot. The characters in this one actually feel real enough for me to get emotionally invested. It does away with the overt campiness of the original trilogy, as is the trend. I've never been a big Ash fan anyway.
Still the VFX/scares stay closer to the fun side of the genre, despite the buckets of blood. The monstrosity at the climax is great.
I've paused #ElConde as I've decided it's too heady for my tired body, but damn am I engrossed in this #Pinochet as a vampire conceit. I even had some wine. Turns out, it's a family dramedy about the rich. I'm at the point where the Nun/accountant looks at the books. Might put on the new #MikeFlanagan before my slumber. #TV#movies#Netflix#villains#HistoricalFiction#history#eattherich before they eat you. :ablobcatneon: #spooktober
I'm not sure how you take well-written, previously existing material for a compelling prequel, cast a bunch of really talented people, and still wind up with a milquetoast, totally forgettable movie- but somebody did, so I guess... Good job. It wasn't even BAD- just utterly unremarkable.
Also, the lack of Maine accents (in general, but for JUDD CRANDALL, of all people) was irritating.
