28/31 #HORRORSZN - The only flaw is in my expectations. What an amazing looking movie. Great performances. Cool Orlok. What else could you want? - boxd.it/bx4HNN

A ★★★ review of I Saw the TV Glow (2024) Surface level, sure, it can viewed as a horror movie. It just feels like an oversimplification to box in the allegory like that. It's beautiful. It's layered. It's relatable. Is it too buried to find ...

27/31 #HORRORSZN - My commentary doesn't matter on this movie. It's great. Separately I now want a feature length film exploring the world of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - boxd.it/bwD4tl

A ★★★★ review of Death Becomes Her (1992) The commitment to the performances is more timeless than the aspirational and entertainming special effects.

A ★★★ review of Halloween II (1981) Whew. We got em, guys. It's gonna be fine. On its own, it's not good. But I give it points for making him such an unstoppable force, and for some awesome single shots out of context.
