I knew that it featured some emotionally challenging content, but I didn't know what that would look like, as it pertained to its presentation in the film. I had hope that it would be addressed in an empathetic, yet matter-of-fact way

It holds a very respectable set of ratings and scores online, which was, of course, very encouraging, and the inclusion of Jennifer Tilly, an actress I have a soft spot for, thanks to the 'Chucky' franchise, only helped matters

A string of positive early reviews certainly encouraged me, but, regardless, I was fairly confident I would, at the very le

On this occasion, it was this 1981 horror, directed by Frank Agrama, which has a little bit of a cult audience in the classic horror community. I knew essentially nothing about the film beyond what I have just mentioned, and really had no expectations, beyond hopefully some fun mummy violence. I

It details the harrowing events of a deep sea diving mission that went very wrong, and the fascinating truth behind the film was what attracted my attention to it the most. Reviews were, generally speaking, fairly good, but not exactly mind-blowing, so m

It's certainly the most famous example of his work, with the only potential challenger being his adaptation of 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' . It had been a number of years since my last

This one, incredibly the tenth 'Saw' film, was set between the events of the first two 'Saw' films, which surprised me a lit

I finally got around to watching this 1998 comedy; the sophomore feature film effort by the acclaimed filmmaker, shortly after visiting an excellent Anderson-centric exhibition in London. The film is considered a cult hit, and another very solid step on the

I already held very mixed feelings about Fennell's previous film; 'Saltburn' , and the worrying and frustrating media and marketing for this new film worried me greatly. Prior to the film's release, the director made a num
