Over the past week I've watched
•
Trick r treat - love the film anyway and guessing most have seen it on here. I've only seen it once and that was 2 years ago and a few things I forgot
•
Antichrist - I've attempted this a couple of times and clearly I still haven't learned my lesson because I just couldn't get through it again. Such a grim and depressing film that I just can't sit through it all without feeling weird and like no one else is on the planet lol which unsettles me.
•
Scream - after watching the 4th I was in the mood, classic. That's all I can say. Also Lillard is soooo good in this
•
What we do in the shadows - okay if you haven't seen this and love horror comedies then just check this out. It's up there with Shaun of the dead and Zombieland for me. Plus if you like the flight of the conchords humour you will most likely love this.
It's a vampire mockumentary about a house share of vamps from different eras living in New Zealand and it's genius. Jermaine clement stars, helped write and direct with Taika Waititi who directed eagle vs shark (with jermaine), a few episodes of conchords and his next venture is Thor 3 (impressive)
• Holidays - I watched this purely of the back of what you guys were saying
@tridon @Sigill and I feel the same. I didn't mind it and all stories had potential including smiths (which wasn't as bad as I had read others mention but it could of been miles better and it wasn't halloweenie at all). Valentine's Day was my least favourite but I loved that final 10 seconds and the music was quality with her smile. I liked parts of st Patrick's day but the end end looked cheap and the Irish guys acting was weird (Zuko). I didn't mind Mother's Day either, could of been better but that final second was amazing and looked very well done. Father's Day was creepy and eerie, well acted but still not 100% sure on what the ending meant (I have some theories). Christmas was cool but again had potential to be a bit better. Liked the idea (got a recommendation on something simular on the next thing I watched for you two). But New Years and Easter was my favs.
I love Eli's wife anyway Lorenza and she was quality and a cool twist. Again that last scene with the axe was sooo cool. And graphic
But Easter. Wow. Ca-reepy as ****!
Man that thing freaked me out. A mixture of you know who and you know who and also oldman from Hannibal. Didn't see that design coming.
I loved the questions the girl was asking the mum. I felt so sorry for her and not getting solid answers lol but man that things voice and the way it moved its head when it spoke. A bit like a the frank voice from donnie darko. "Magical things" lol that creeped me out
I really want to see more of that short.
•
yoga hosters - what the **** did I just watch? I really enjoyed Tusk and was hoping for something similar but I'm just not sure what I think! The sausage nazi soldiers well made me laugh though

Black mirror - @Noodles @tridon @Sigill you have to see this if you haven't already
Okay so the great mind of Charlie brooker created this series a few years back (he's behind brass eye, Nathan barley etc) and it's hour long episodes all different and weird and most I would put in the horror or sci fi box. Some great actors have featured in these and also great directors for each episode. Toby kebbel, John Hamm, Ralph spall have featured and the new series has made the jump from ch4 to Netflix with 6 new unique episodes (series 1 is 3 eps, 2 is 3 eps, a Christmas special and this series 3 is 6 eps) the new series has Bryce Dallas Howard, wyatt Russell and directing are joe Wright, Dan trachtenberg and others.
You have to check out episode 2 called "play test" directed by the 10 cloverfield lane director trachtenberg (i think this guy is going to be huge) with wyatt Russell (Kurts son from cold in July). It's amazing and because I know you two are gamers (not sure if you are sigill but still check it out) I think you will appreciate this. It's mental. All I will say is it's like inception meets cabin in the woods (take both comparisons with a pinch of salt) also I watched holidays after this and the Seth green Christmas segment kinda reminded me of this but far more weirder.
He really touches odd ideas in black mirror that half the time you think he's ahead of the curve with what could possibly happen and usually with an unsettling ending
All episodes are on 4od (I think) and the new series hit Netflix last week
(I've only seen the first 2 of the new series but it don't matter what order you watch as all are individual stories)
