So, recently I've gotten more into films, so I decided to have a page where I can talk about these films and what I liked or disliked about them. I have my all-time favourites in the sidebar, and then recent films are in the main body. Here is my Letterboxd if you want real-time, cutting-edge updates as they come.
I generally liked this film, it's given me a lot to think about. There's something about the way this film depicts masculinity which is really interesting to think about. Also, the yearning and need to be loved can literally be felt through the screen.
This film was amazing. I can appreciate everything about this film, the visuals, the soundtrack, the acting. I personally couldn't relate to it, but I wouldn't call it an issue purely because this film wasn't made for me, and I can respect a film knowing its audience and being impactful and meaningful to that audience. Initially I disliked this film being marketed as a horror, but over the last day or so since I've watched it, I feel like it's become scarier to me when I think back on it. It does body horror really well and I loved some of the scenes which were a blend of animation and reality. Also, who doesn't love a Buffy reference. I'll definitely rewatch this film in the future.
This was okay. I suppose my main issue with this film is that it couldn't decide if it wanted to be horror or action/adventure. Deep sea exploration has the potential to be such a cool sub-genre (and often is), but this film really butchered it. I'd rather see Kristen Stewart play Iron Lung for two hours than watch this again. There was an opportunity for real creativity regarding the monsters in this film since we know so little about the sea, and instead we got a half-baked Lovecraft reference. I will say that some of the death scenes were done really well, and the final scenes with Kristen Stewart's character were incredibly beautiful.
