Don't Go in the House

1979

★★★ Watched

Pretty interesting and fairly watchable serial killer character study. Everyone in the reviews calls this out as a Psycho riff but it’s just as much if not more indebted to the stories of a bunch of real life psychotic scumbags like Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, and even H.H. Holmes. Definitely a decent watch for sickos.

If this had an even somewhat capable actor in the lead roll it’d get a full extra star.

The Terminator

1984

★★★★★ Rewatched

35mm at the New Beverly Cinema

Nice night for a walk.

I want to live inside Tech Noir.

Salem's Lot

Beyond Fest - Aero Theatre

This really should have been a theatrical release, it kills with a crowd and that experience really elevates the film. The movie doesn’t always work, but when it does it’s a lot of fun. Lots of great shots and visual ideas throughout. A very earnest, classic vampire tale that won’t be for everyone but I’m all in. Mark Petrie is one of the year’s best characters.

Saw X

2023

★★★★½ Watched

Fantastic Fest Diaries

Crazy that it took until the tenth Saw to make John Kramer the protagonist of one of these films, but it leads to one of the very best in the series. Incredibly fun and satisfying.
