weird wacky little estonian fantasy/horror movie about a small village in the 19th century that is plagued by personifications of the devil, the plague, werewolves and other spooky creatures and the methods the townsfolk have to resort to in order to survive a harsh winter. it was alright!

wow the first season of this show was genuinely some of the most compelling and interesting tv i have ever seen. i loooooved s1 so much, rust is truly one of the guys of all time. i would say that making any further seasons of this show was a massive mistake because none of them held a candle to the first. i did get through the second season but i did not care for it, i didn't bother with 3 and 4 because sooo many people told me not to lmfao. s1 though. 5 stars. easy.

nice little indie horror film i scrolled past when looking for something tonight. i am a big fan of skinwalker and goatman stories, which is very much what the vibes of this movie are; a bunch of teens in a secluded house in the desert that notice there's an extra person amongst their group. pretty good!

my friends will attest to this when i say i was absolutely delightfully hooked on the concept of this movie the second i saw the trailer in january, and heard the words "hello brother. the monkey that likes killing our family. it's back." immediately sold on this movie. if there's one opinion i maintain, it's that i fuuuucking hated LONGLEGS (2024), and i did see that this movie was made by the same producers, so i was fully prepared to be disappointed by THE MONKEY. i am, however, a stephen king fangirl first and human being second, so i went to the cinema fully ready to hate this movie.

WRONG. i have never been so wrong. within the first 5 minutes i turned to my friend and said holy shit this is going to be the best movie i've ever seen. it was so much fun. unserious, silly goofy, hyperviolent gorefest where one (1) actor plays the two main protagonist twins, it was so silly it kept catching me off guard and i had SO much fun watching it. easily best release of the year so far. it's like if the FINAL DESTINATION franchise took itself less seriously and also it wasn't death who's the bad guy, but a stupid little monkey with a drum. i am detracting ONE single point from my overall scoring on this purely because the line from the trailer that got me in the first place wasn't even in the movie. hate it here fr

very possibly my favourite movie of all time, ever. love the book, love the movie and have done my whole life since my dad showed it to me. THE perfect gloomy stormy night movie.

this is genuinely one of the best worst movies of all time. i am possibly REPO's #1 fangirl and have been since middle school, and i force everyone i know to watch it the second i get the opportunity to, and YOU are not immune! this movie is a delightful trainwreck; it's about a dystopian future where an epidemic of organ failure means those who loan money for organ transplants will have them reposessed if they can't pay up. it's an absolutely bonkers rock opera horror musical. most of the music sucks, many of the performances are lacking in uh, musical talent. but if you think you can suspend your expectations for just a few hours and allow this deranged, colourful, insane, bloody gorey mess of a world tell you it's story, i am absolutely begging you to check this movie out for free on archive.org!

this was pretty good actually! bit out of the usual for me - this is a political thriller about the election of a new pope, and the internal conflicts between candidates that come with such a position of power. i was idly enjoying it in the background up until the climax and that did manage to really surprise me. very good ending. it's also very pretty on a cinematography level; i visited the vatican in 2017 on a europe trip and was immediately struck by how pristine and gorgeous everything was, so i really quite appreciated it being hilighted in this film.

I am usually an a24 girly and I do like most of their movies that I watch, but I’ll admit - I wasn’t necessarily looking forward to this one. religion based horror feels like a cop out to me, it’s so easy to make a demon and call it a day, yknow? it feels cheap. however, it’s a24, so I thought I’d give it a shot since I saw it on my streaming site. I actually really quite liked the setup of the first half, despite my reservations going into it and seeing ‘weird old man locks two young missionaries in his house’. predictable as hell, I thought. but no, once the premise was fleshed out, I was very interested. our two main girls are smart! reasonable! not played for a joke! did I love it in the end? eh! it was alright. i ended up being right about what was gonna happen. I liked the atmosphere, it builds good tension and had a relatively unique premise. kind of silly, kind of ridiculous. the exposition dump at he end was like a murder mystery novel reveal LMAO

this movie was okay! i like jesse eisenberg & kieren culkin individually, though comedy drama isn't usually my thing. i think it was a bit clunky and a bit too fast at times; it definitely does show that is a first time attempt at a screenplay, but overall i thought it was fine. definitely a background movie while i did other stuff, though.

LOOOOVE this movie. i enjoyed it as a kid despite not actually being much of a fantasy enjoyer, but i've been watching bbc merlin recently and i've been thinking about it, so, figured i'd give it a rewatch. holds up! i love the overly sparkly everything and i think merlin should be a morally grey feral loser in every iteration of the myth. best of all though, movie is free on internet archive right here!

watched this with my friend who recently dragged me into EPIC!: THE MUSICAL. i do like the oddysey as a story! i read it when i was in high school and did indeed have a greek mythology phase, and currently i am re-reading the fagles translation (my favourite!). i love a good epic. somehow i had not seen this movie though, so we watched it together! it's alright. it's aged, obviously, and doesn't cover a lot of my favourite sections of the novel. i enjoyed it anyway though! if anything else, it was nice to have a prelude to the christopher nolan movie that's coming out next year. i really liked the way they did scylla and charybdis, i love a gooood fleshy creature full of teeth

i sat down and brought this one up to my friend some time last year asking if i should finish it because i started it when it was out when i was in high school, and she emphatically said yes absolutely i should watch it, so we watched it together! this was fucking brilliant, i loved everything about it. i'm really glad i saw it through in the end. i love a good narrative about survival, i love a found family, i love tragic childhood best friends and most of all, i love body horror and hack and slash gore. so this was great! made me laugh, made me incredibly sad, felt like shit after it was over and i will watch it again. the music fucks hard. the animation is incredible, s4 particularly was so so pretty. i loved this cast of characters, they are all so very nuanced and interesting and ultimately there was nothing i didn't like about any of the insane storylines in this story. will have to read the manga some day for sure

crazy late to the party on this one, but i had a really long phase of being too old and cool for kids cartoons alright! i've been slowly breaking out of it and watched this with a friend who is a huge fan of the show. this was wonderful. it's reputation did not deceive me. what a wonderful story, a beautiful world, and some of the best characters i have ever enjoyed in television

i only watched the first two because i heard shadow was going to be in the 3rd one. that is my son and boy and i love him. i watched this with my friends and we all really enjoyed it! it was a wonderful silly and unserious fun movie and you can just see the love that went into animating these silly little guys. VERY FUN. definitely my fav out of the movies so far (though it was always going to be purely because keanu reeves shadow the hedgehog was designed for me personally to enjoy)

already hit the yearly rewatch for this one i fear. i love being miserable and suffering

i loooove this movie! its about two teenage best friends who get involved in an accident that tears their relationship apart. i love a good small town thriller, it's definitely a bit on the weird side but i love a movie thats kinda unserious but also kinda not.
