    I havent seen most of those movies, I will certainly check them out,the one about the frogs sounds really appealing! May I give you some reccomendation? Spanish movies from the seventies 'Who could kill a child' ,and 'Non se deve profanare il sonno dei morti' Italian,but Spanish director. Then some recent ones, they are thrillers rather than horror movies,but they will keep you guessing from the beginning to the end,Hitchcock style:'El cuerpo'(the body, 2012) and 'Contratiempo' (Setback, 2017) hope you keep on with your entertaining videos and raising your son in the love for movies! Cheers!

    I was recommended your "80's slashers you may have missed" video last week. I should preface this by mentioning that UA-cam videos are my background noise, I rarely sit and watch a video all the way through.
    Well, I watched that video and then the part 2 video and then I was binge watching your videos AND taking notes! I watched Ghostwatch, Return of the Wolfman and Blithe Spirit based on your recommendations.
    You do such a fantastic job of giving a synopsis without spoilers and your enthusiasm for certain movies is infectious. Thank you for expanding my watchlist and introducing me to movies I would never just randomly come across.

    I always love these monthly what you've watched videos. Odds Against Tomorrow is so good! Me and my Semi-Cinematic podcast pals reviewed it and I can't say we did it justice but it was fun to talk about.
    My favorite new release from May was Furiosa, which I thought was so much fun. It has one of the best action scenes I've ever seen. It overstays its welcome a little bit and I thought the ending brought it down as well. But I had a blast seeing it on the big screen. The biggest surprise of the month was Mario Bavo's viking flick, Erik the Conqueror. It's not a Bava movie you ever hear anyone talk about but I thought the visuals were fantastic and it was entertaining throughout. It's got an Arrow blu ray release and it looks really nice.
    My wife and I took our kids to the theater for the first time last year. We saw the Paw Patrol movie and unfortunately our 6 year old was absolutely miserable. She hated how loud it was. She started to become distraction for the other members of the audience so I took her outside and we kicked a soccer ball back and forth until my wife and youngest daughter came out of the movie. I think we'll try again for Frozen 3 or Moana 2, whichever comes first.

    I went and saw In a violent nature last night at the theatre and I absolutely loved it … sure he walks a lot lol but his surroundings add more to the feeling of isolation and it was awesome that a lot of the film is set in the daytime and I liked the killers back story and visually his image works on all levels….the scene where he takes off the fireman’s mask and plays with the toy car added more depth to the character and of course the kills were brutal ….but my favorite part of the film was the atmosphere and it was great to see Lauren Marie Taylor at the end for the wrap up ending …I will definitely get it on 4K when it’s released…love your posts
    Keep up the good work

    I did watch my favorite Roddy McDowall movie last month, HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY (1941). Have you seen it? It won Best Picture and is definitely not a horror or action picture, but is so visually poetic and beautifully acted particularly by 12-year old Roddy.

    The Kindred was the most frightening movie experience I've ever had. The body horror... oh my god, I had to grip the armrests to keep from bolting from the theater. And I'm not an easy scare. Only ever closed my eyes once during a horror film ever.

    x I watched the film Graduation Day on Shudder, great film!
    o The scene where one of the track girls is truly running (instead of "slow" running) through the forest is a rush!
    o That jump scare towards the end is the best!
    o Graduation Day themed films is a genre that needs to be developed, it's such an important rite of passage that is largely ignored!

  • @frankb821
    @frankb821 7 місяців тому +2

    I hear you with "Don't Look Now..." I was also let down by its slowness, leading to unsatisfying ending. I'm curious to read the story by Daphne Du Maurier it's based on to see if that's any more gripping. BTW, I think the most ridiculous premise of all these features in "Immaculate," because I just can't fathom Sydney Sweeney has "never been with a man."

    Don't look now: Haven't seen it in ages. I would recommend: Who Saw Her Die? 1972. Could be that Roeg was inspired by that film (yes, Du Maurier etc.). The two HK movies you mentioned looking cool. My favourite films in May were:
    Seven Weeks 2014 (I love Obayashi)
    The Age of Assassins 1967 (great Kihachi Okamoto, weird and totally underrated)
    La Chimera 2023 (good Italian film)
    Then I had a short addiction to Helmut Käuthner films. The best I've seen:
    In Those Days 1947
    Under the Bridges 1946
    Black Gravel 1961
    Another German film I liked a lot:
    The Murderers Are Among Us 1946
    And of course a lot of cool Shaw Bros. The best were:
    Come Drink with Me 1966 (rewatch after many years, first time on bluray)
    Killer Darts 1968
    Golden Swallow 1968
    The Lady Hermit 1971
    The Black Tavern 1972

    Don't Look Now was disappointing, maybe because of all of the hype surrounding this movie. I recently watched The Haunting of Julia, and it was so good. I went in with low expectations, and I was enthralled. The ending felt a bit abrupt, but maybe if I read the novel, the ending will feel more earned. Nevertheless, I now wish that Mia Farrow had done more horror movies. But she was fantastic in the ones that she did do.
    Thank you for this wrap-up video.

  • @bent3736

    I love Edge of the Axe! I I know many people have a hard time with the killer reveal, which does feel a little forced, but for me, the physique issue doesn't bother me. I've heard it's even different actors from scene to scene, which I think is kinda cool. It's almost saying "stop trying to figure it out ahead of time and just enjoy the damn ride."

Happy Birthday to me is great. I thought the characters were pretty good actually, not great but decent. The movie is about 20 minutes too long though. Edge of the Axe is super fun. The Nest is one of my favorites. Lots of great strong female characters which I loved. The Kindred is so damn good. Super fun and very underrated. I adore this film and more people need to see it. It's just fantastic
