The Thing (1982)
One of my favourite movies ever
If perfection was a movie then it'd be The thing. I've watched this countless times and still enjoy it as much as I did the first time. It will be one of my favourites forever.
It has plenty of gore, suspense and a claustrophobic atmosphere. There is just a sheer terror surrounding it.
The setting makes it that much creepier. Being isolated in the middle of nowhere with something unworldly, not knowing who or what to trust. This movie is truly chilling.
I can't think of one thing I don't like about it, it really is that enjoyable and is worth at least one watch for everybody.
They certainly don't make them like this anymore.
Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)
Fun movie
I watched primarily for the Chihuahua's but the movie overall was fun. The dogs were cute and there were a lot of funny moments.
Not much else to say about it.
The Deep House (2021)
Unsettling and creepy in places
Horror movies are my favourite genre and for a LONG time I've been struggling to find a movie that actually causes me to feel that rush of wonderful creepiness.
With "The deep house" I had a taste of what I crave from a horror movie.
This creepiness mainly came from the beginning and middle, which I found particularly unsettling. Especially when the corpses start to chase them through the house. It was genuinely nerve wracking and I found these parts to be very effective.
I felt a sense of dread whilst watching it, likely due to the situation of them being trapped, which in itself is claustrophobic enough, but being trapped underwater with very little light is an even more terrifying prospect.
I feel that the third part let it down though, the creepiness subsided for me and I'd hoped it would have continued throughout the whole movie. It kind of lost its edge towards the end, which is a shame.
It's worth watching though, I'd watch it again for sure and would recommend it to other horror fans.
Schitt$ Creek (2015)
Loved this
I loved this so much, I binged it all within a very short space of time.
The characters are so likeable, even the ones I initially thought I'd not like I found myself really being drawn to them as the show went on.
I was so sad when I'd finished it, I just wanted it to carry on forever.
Just a wholesome & enjoyable programme.
Savage Kingdom (2016)
Mesmerising
But also very hard to watch at times. The brutal reality of survival. Some parts are heartbreaking but unfortunately accurate.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series & I thought the narration was also good.
If you're looking for a good, honest wildlife series then this is one of the best of it's kind.
Mara (2018)
Better than I expected
Some genuinely creepy parts, I love horror movies & I did enjoy this one.
The acting was decent too. I wasn't expecting much after reading the reviews, but I'm glad I watched it. I don't think I'd watch it a second time as once is enough, but worth a watch.
The Requin (2022)
Started off decent
The first 2 thirds were okay, there was a good amount of tension & the threat of sharks started off realistic. Even the sharks themselves were real, or so they looked.
The last third though was where things started to go downhill.
The sharks were awful cgi, I'm assuming to make the attack shots possible. The ending was a little drawn out too. Could have done with it being just an hour long.
I think if they took the last half hour out I'd have rated it higher.
