💀 Well what a shock.
I think for the first time EVER a reboot/sequel/prequel has come in and stolen the top spot on a franchise ranking of mine!

Now having two in the number one spot will annoy some people, yes it’s a bit of a cop out but let me explain.

Final Destination Bloodlines is no doubt (IMO) the best film of the series. The characters, the special effects, the storyline and of course some utterly appalling death scenes, made for a really fun ride. It felt more serious than its predecessors and whilst I love a fun campy horror movie, the recurring themes of the Final Destination films feel more sincere when the stakes are higher. 

However for reasons I can’t explain…the third instalment has me in a chokehold and I can’t in good conscience make it number two, So it remains in the top slot along side Bloodlines for now 😂

I think one of the biggest reasons Bloodlines made such an impact on me is after the absolute shit shows that were numbers 4 and 5, this felt like a Final Destination movie and not a shoddy wannabe film. 

Let’s talk about the premonition in Bloodlines. 
My stomach was in my mouth the whole time. Now I HATE heights, so for me…this was edge of the seat, anxiety ridden madness! 

The characters are all insanely likeable. You really care about them and want them to work out a way to beat death, whereas in past instalments I’ve not cared as much and have just anticipated them dying in a gruesome and fun way! 

Quick mention for the legend that is @tonytoddofficial in his last role before his untimely and unfairly too-soon death last year. 
This time his character was given some depth, he’s not just ominously lurking and mentioning how you can’t cheat death…on top of this we finally find out why he’s so involved in the whole timeline of events throughout the series. 
RIP Tony 🖤

Damn if I’d seen this last year it would have been top 10 for sure.
Genuinely funny. Anxiety inducing. Mickey Madison is stunning and a breathe of fresh air. If Demi doesn’t get the Oscar this year, I’ll be fine with it going to Mickey.

I knew about this movie going in than I wish I did.
For that, unfortunately I’ve rated slightly lower than I would have, if I knew nothing about it. 
Amazing performances all round though.

Saw at the cinema for a 30 year anniversary screening. 

Absolute 10/10. Everything about this film, and I mean EVERYTHING is perfect. I don’t think there’s a single moment I think, this isn’t amazing. I just can’t believe it’s 30 years old. You could tell me this film was made in 2010 and I would believe you.

My rating is subject to change. But what a high to start 2025 on! I feel like I can’t even put into words how beautiful this film is. How haunting, how grotesque how perfect everything is. So I’m not even going to try. 
It’s going to be decisive as hell. I’ve seen so many people say how boring they found it. But this is classic gothic horror, for my fellow EAP fans and lovers of the dark and macabre this is right up our alley, so thank you Robert Eggers, from the bottom of my black goth heart! 🖤🖤🖤

Probably the most stressed out I’ve been watching a film since uncut gems. And for totally different reasons. The last 10 mins of this film I was this emoji 😱

Obviously I fucking loved this. 
The inner theatre kid in me has been waiting for this a long time. 
I don’t know anything about Ariana grande; other than the girl can SING! So when her casting as Galinda was announced I wasn’t mad. 
Cynthia Erivo, again knew she can sing incredibly well, (saw her in “bad times at the el royale”) so again was on board with the casting of Elphaba. 
The choice to make Wicked into two movies, has always been massively favoured by myself, however on realising that they called cut in part one, at the spot the intermission falls on act one in the stage show, it’s actually perfect. And I believe It’ll allow for part two to take place “x amount of years” in the future to set up for the perfect telling of act two. 
Rumours surrounding there being new original songs in part two…again scary thought, could be perfect, but could also make the hordes or gatekeeper real mad! So we shall see about that.
Also. If you didn’t cry during the end of defying gravity “so if you care to find meeeee, loook to the western sky” onwards….are you even human. Or are you just a normal human that’s coasted through life without feeling disliked or different so doesn’t get how that shit feels? Oh look my childhood trauma is showing! 😂
But seriously I had snot running down my face. And for that alone, this will be making my top ten of the year.

Bat shit crazy. Honestly everything I was hoping it would be. 
Love the “you’ll never be good enough” narrative. When it comes to youth, fame and general beauty standards. 
Both lead performances were incredible. 
I really want This movie to be acknowledged come awards season. But as we all know, it’s rare for horror to get recognition. But Demi Moore needs to win SOMETHING for this. She got every mark and nail or the head.

I love Rosemarys baby, the book and the movie. 
This was alright. I liked drawing all the links to this and the film which inspired it. Ultimately the main character wasn’t particularly likeable, but I also felt sympathetic towards her? Also I don’t know why, but I thought this was a tv series not a film, so this was a surprise

You know I love my folk horror. 
Again this was ok. For a lower budget thing.

If the other crow hasn’t existed. Or this one was about the crow but not Eric draven I think it would have been recorded better in general. But yeah it was ok.

Awful

This review may contain spoilers.

So. Long legs,I saw the hype starting to gather more and more, I refused to watch any trailers because of this, the only thing I did succumb to was dialling the US phone number on the billboards to listen to long legs being a crappy bastard and pay £4 for the pleasure. 

I don’t know what I was expecting, as I didnt really know much about the film before hand, other than it was being helmed as nightmare fuel, something to do with kids being killed and a female fbi agent. 
I certainly didn’t expect there to be supernatural abilities. That was a weird layer to add but ok. 
There were so many times throughout this I could see the obvious inspiration from other 90s psychological thriller, namely silence of the lambs, and twin peaks: fire walk with me, both films I absolutely adore. 

The first time you see long legs and the soundtrack goes off, was like a punch In The gut and it defiantly made me feel super anxious going into the film, thinking ok, we’re gonna have a fucking wild ride now. 
I was kind of right. Nic Cage is a powerhouse of fucking oddness, as always, he really didn’t disappoint. I could have done with more 1 on 1 interrogation room scene, a definate mirroring of heath ledgers joker and Batman, long legs speaking in riddles and being aloof, and just a fucking creep. 

The scene where he’s screaming “mommy!!!!” “Daddy” fucking iconic. 

I think I’ll give this film another go again, now knowing what sort of film it is. 
The whole time i was watching it, all I could think is, “so many people in this screening is gonna be fuming” coz it was not your run of the mill blockbuster thriller, and it was at times very high brow in the artsy vibes, that some would have considered boring and pointless. 

From a filmmaking standpoint, it looks amazing, it’s sounds fucking incredible.

I’m gonna stop getting so hyped and excited for films. Just setting me up for failure each time. 
I wanted so much to love this, again the trailer was stunning! The vibe hit different, the soundtrack, the neon lights, again love that shit imensely, but I found this a bit……boring? It was so multi layered, I think that’s why I loved Pearl so much more, very simple. Not trying too hard, letting Mia take the lead and run with it, in this she felt so restricted, I dunno, I really really wanted to love this more than it’s two predecessors, but unfortunaly it was lacking something for me, and I can’t quite put my finger on it

Urgh another one that looked promising in the trailers. But I should learnt by M night shamalaladingdongs last few outings, not to hold my breathe. I love a horror drenched in folklore, especially faie folk, but this was too far. Could have been amazing, loved the premise, but the execution fell real flat!

Better than the other two. Because of one name…..Frodo.

Yeah….not much a can say really, shite popcorn horror flick, the type I secretly love to watch at the cinema, even though it’s awful. Guilty pleasure film, easy to watch nonsense. It is what it is

I wanted to love it. I like it, and there was some real gnarly kills, one specifically that was done so incredibly well, massive fan of real effects and again, remarkably done, I just don’t know, something wasn’t there for me.

Camp b- movie fun, mad acting. Random horny man tries to get off with all the intended victims, what a douche. The mask though, nightmare fuel, I love these type of films you randomly find on prime scrolling aimlessly. I want more of them injected into my eyeballs please

So I love a stylised synthey throwback movie, I love drive, I love lost river I eat that’s shit up, and where I went into this film not knowing what to expect I came out the other side not really knowing what I was expected to know what I was expecting. Make of that what you will

Twas alright. Weird. And I like weird so we good
