  1. Really good fun. A nicely grubby 70s aesthetic, with a few blatant nods to the Manson family coupled with a supernatural subplot and a bonkers final third.
  2. It's not quite up to the same level as The Night Chancers but it's still a bloody good album. It's probably heresy to say, but overall I like his stuff more than his dad's (and I liked his dad's stuff a lot).
  3. I remember when you used to wait in the car, and frankly you should still be there!* It's one of the best shows ever made and I bloody love it.
  4. This is it innit. You could probably change the 60's to a fair few other decades too. Good (and bad) music spans a **** long period of time. Sometimes you might just need to put a bit of effort in to find it.
  5. I think if your enjoyment has decreased with your time spent then yeah, I can see why you'd want to pack it up. I'm 53 this year and I enjoy gaming just as much (if not more) than I have since I picked up my first Binatone controller in the 70's. It's very much still one of my main two vices (along with movies). I don't subscribe to the whole 'grown up' narrative tbh. Average video gamer is around 35 these days iirc, so the days when they were 'just for kids' have long gone. I reckon they'll have to pry my controller from my cold dead hands
  6. This show is always one of the first that comes to mind as a child in the 70's. Kids TV was a totally different kettle of fish in those days. Pretty much zero budget meant very, very low production values. Crap lighting, loads of greys and browns, sinister looking puppets held together with sticky back plastic and greats like Brian Cant and Derek Griffiths ruled the roost. It was fantastic.
  7. She was great in No One Will Save You - especially since there was only a few lines of dialogue in the whole film. Really good physical performance.
  8. Looking forward to watching Milady, and that has absolutely nothing at all to do with Eva Green...no siree, not at all.
  9. I did 378 in 2023 (that's what having older kids does for you ) That's 5 strong movies to start the year with tbh. Society of the Snow is very good indeed.
  10. Oh I've seen it a few times. It was the Baker/Baxter mix up I was referring to
  11. Finally managed to book tickets to see Poor Things next week. Feels like the UK release has taken forever. Lanthimos is one of the most unique contemporary director's for me and I've loved all his work so far. Colour me excited.
  12. Dark and the Wicked is fantastic. The atmosphere and feeling of unseen dread throughout is incredible.
  13. Definitely Tobe Hoopers second best movie. Re. How Susan looked, the vampires sometimes use a 'glamour' to appear normal/attractive/young to their victims. There's a scene when the woman who runs the boarding house has been 'visited ' by the vampire version of her ex husband (the town drunk Weasel) - and she says something like 'I dreamt Weasel visited me, he was young and handsome again'.
  14. Terrified (2017) by the same Director is worth a watch too, but not quite up to the standard of When Evil Lurks.
  15. Here's a few on Shudder I've enjoyed recently: Hell House LLC origins Influencer The Retreat The Sacrifice game Speak No Evil Deadstream The Mortuary Collection The Sadness Becky Anything for Jackson
  16. My favourite horror from last year. It's fantastic.
  17. This third movie adaptation of the true story of the 1972 Uruguayan Rugby Team air crash, is easily the best. Brilliantly made, with exceptional performances from the cast (many with debut performances). Really, really good stuff.
  18. I watch it every few years. Its still pretty damned good tbh.
  19. That's a blast from the past. I remember being blown away when I played the demo over and over on the disc which came with the PS1. Pretty sure I picked up ReLoaded later on too.
  20. Usual New Year's Eve/Day for me: NYE - Family party at our place with lots of food, games and then a bit of a dance later on. NYD - I park myself on the sofa at 10am for my annual 12 hour movie marathon. The wife and kids will pop in occasionally throughout the day if there is a film on they want to watch. As much as I like my job, I always hate the first day back on the 2nd.
  21. That's a shame. Good actor and decent bloke by all accounts.
