Scary ass ugly she is, she'd keep the crows away from your lawn.

His House. One of the best British horror films I have seen in ages, destined to become a classic. A Sudanese refugee couple are granted asylum but forced to stay in a haunted house.

Suspiria (1977)
Just watched this movie for the first time and I think it might be a new favorite! It has to be the world’s prettiest horror movie ever made! Seriously every frame looks like it’s an illustration from a fairytale! I also love the soundtrack that sounds like a demented music box. Jessica Harper kind of reminds me a bit of Alice in Wonderland the way she seems to be wondering around a dream. I love how odd everyone acts in this! I wouldn’t say I found it particularly scary. Moody, atmosphere and suspenseful yes, but the the the blood and gore had more of a fake haunted house feel to it. Definitely a movie I wouldn’t mind watching again around the Halloween season!
Side note: Seriously are there any horror movies as pretty as this one? It’s like a haunted house designed by vogue magazine!
Side note:Even though I loved this movie, I always heard Suspiria was really scary but I found it more fun and atmospheric than frightening🤔 Is it weird I think Death Becomes Her is scarier than Suspiria?
Side note: I don’t think I want to watch the remake though it looks too drab compared to this 🤔

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
A solid entry to the series. Even if Michael Myers does resemble a rugby player in this. Considering the fact he’s meant to have been in a coma for a decade prior to this, I’m honestly not sure how he’s had the time to start lifting weights.
Danielle Harris is a utter delight in this and a rare example of a good child actor. It’s honestly a shame they abandoned the direction the ending of this sets up when it came to sequel because I honestly think she had the chops to pull it off.

It's been a fairly film-heavy day for me:
Banging Lanie - Far from the greatest thing I've ever seen, but hey, two of the characters fall under the gay 'umbrella', so I can't really complain too much...?
The Craft - First time viewing. Not a favourite, but I still enjoyed it fine.
The Craft: Legacy - Well, that was a Blumhouse film alright! 'Could certainly have turned down the sparkles of the first half and the forced woke-ness but, well "I've seen far better, I've seen worse", let's put it that way. I don't know why we 'needed' a sequel 26-odd years on, but that was certainly... Adequate?
Sage Of Time (Forever First Time) - A fun, if slightly short, character piece. Of those that I've seen today, I'd have to say that this one's my favourite.
As it's 'only' quarter-past seven, I might watch another a little bit later before bed.
Edit: Bound - The Asylum's take on '50 Shades Of Grey'. A fan-fic of a fan-fic... Just what the world needed starring 'her from Buffy'. =_= The only thing that made this (remotely) tolerable was the ability to watch this on 1.3 speed on VLC. I mean, it wasn't totally horrific, but there are certainly far FAR better Asylum films out there (did I really just say that?)

I've been wanting the 4K disc for a while now but it stubbornly refuses to drop to less than $60 or so. I don't think it's weird not to be too frightened by it. The Italian giallo films are more influenced by pulp detective fiction and Hitchcock than outright slashers. I'd recommend Deep Red (Profondo Rosso) by the same director if you haven't seen Dario Argento's other work. And no, don't bother with the remake.

They Live Never seen it before. Hard to know what to say about it, other than it was very good.

The remake, well Tilda Swinton is fantastic if course & the soundtrack is great but it's pretty forgettable & far too long.

I watched Captain Marvel earlier this week. It took quite a while for the plot to get rolling and allow me to see what the point of it all was, but it got there in the end.
Burning questions in my mind: How is Captain Marvel the first Avenger? Captain America predates her by decades.
Why are the Kree not blue?!!
Side note: For a moment there, I thought they had cast someone other than Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. He looked so different.

This afternoon I watched 'Seven Pistols For A Massacre' before heading out to Guildford for the first time in a little over seven months - I'm not normally one for Westerns, but at 80minutes, that was a fun enough background-watch whilst I cleaned my bathroom...
Pixie - Not (quite) my favourite film of the year, but I certainly enjoyed it! If they had the 'right' story for it (and weren't doing it for the sake of doing it), I wouldn't actually say no to seeing a sequel...
Halloween - Whilst I'm not really a horror or slasher 'person', it was nice to have the opportunity to see this on the big-screen. I've seen this once before, a few years ago now, in the interest of 'low(er) budget films' and have to say that, even fourty-odd years later, it still holds up (one day I'll get round to watching the others, one day...). There were a couple of teenagers sat near me who wouldn't stop whispering & giggling that I wouldn't mind seeing Michael offing, I will say (especially as they up & left about ten or so minutes from the end, just after Laurie had found the bodies).
