Searching for that dank
Casual film enthusiast with a soft spot for Horror and Shlock
Mad respect to Agathe Rousselle who in her very first film plays one of the most fucked roles in recent memory.
Titane is French director Julia Ducournau’s absolutely bonkers Cronenberg-ish second film after her great 2016 coming of age/cannibal movie Raw, and oh man, if you thought that movie was crazy, then let me tell you, you’re in for quite the nightmarish car sex experience!
Body-horror, naked women, murder, shooting drugs, gender bending, ripped shirtless dancing firefighters, and yes, intercourse…
If the chaotic editing, surreal music, and scene of a pimp brutalizing a prostitute, all within the first three minutes somehow didn’t impress upon you what type of movie you are getting yourself into, then the title card rising out of a literal puddle of semen definitely will.
Not going to lie, I was going into this kinda expecting Takashi Miike’s Ichi the Killer to just be a more fucked version of Kill Bill. And while yes, I was right…
The original Hellraiser from 1987 is one of my personal favourite films. The gnarly gore, amazing practical effects, otherworldly dream-like atmosphere, and of course Doug Bradley absolutely killing it as the BDSM enthusiast demon from hell Pinhead. It has a lot of that 80’s charm that I think would be really hard to replicate in our Marvel Formula™ and “It has to be about something” Prestige Horror™ modern era. So sitting down to watch this 2022 reboot I was slightly pessimistic.…
This movie is wild.

Well if you have then I’m very pleased to inform you that sexy-fever-dream connoisseur, Dario Argento; heard your cries, and has tailor made the perfect film for your…
You know, for a film that has an all-star cast and is about Alien Jesus sending his elderly intergalactic warrior/angel/ to the city of Atlanta - Georgia to duke it out with a little eight-year old Antichrist girl and her pet hawk to prevent Lance Henriksen and the Illuminati from resurrecting Alien Satan, it’s actually pretty darn boring, somehow. 🤨
It starts out pretty epic and promising, with the guy who directed The Maltese Falcon dressed up as Obi-Wan Kenobi…
I’m not going to lie. Godzilla vs. Kong is one of the most insane and ridiculously bonkers pieces of media I have ever consumed. I’m in shock honestly at what I just witnessed.
Even Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which is crazy in it’s own right, pales in comparison to the downright lunacy that transpires here.
Adam Wingard goes completely ham. Bombarding our poor senses with an overdose of bright 80’s esque neon aesthetic, heavy metal fantasy imagery, synth music,…
