My best friend and I listened to Work Song by Hozier on the drive home after this film, and I think that has fundamentally changed me as a person.

Sinners begins in 1932, where a young man named Samuel comes stumbling into a church. His father, the preacher at the head of the congregation, beacons his bruised and bloodied son forward. Sammie is clearly shaken, gripping the neck of a broken guitar like it’s a lifeline. As Sammie’s father speaks…

How anyone could look at that freaky ass monkey and think that was a normal thing to buy for their child, I will never know.

The Monkey starts off with a bang, as we see a very disheveled looking pilot making a mad dash for a pawn shop. He’s covered in blood, and desperately trying to convince the man working there to let him return an object that he had bought from the store. It’s a toy monkey, the kind…

I wasn’t sure how this movie could get any better, and then they had that shot of the cat smoking a cigarette. That was the real cherry on top of this entire film.

Wicked Stepmother begins in a house in the suburbs, where the police have been called after a local family hadn’t been seen leaving their house in sometime. Their old maid Mandy is worried about them, as she hadn’t heard from them since an older woman moved into…

This is bright, interesting, well done and felt very fresh in a subgenre that has started to feel a little over saturated. This…

Maybe I’m just a total sucker for Dracula related stuff, but both Dracula related films that were released this year fucking ruled.

The Last Voyage Of The Demeter follows the events that took place on the voyage from Romania to England in Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula. What goes on onboard the Demeter is barely discussed in the book and is mostly forgotten by the films, but this movie aims to show every gorey detail of Dracula’s trip to England. We…

Starting off May the right way, with my favourite film of all time.

I’ve said this countless times, but no film truly compares to the love I feel towards Re-Animator. I’ve been viciously hyperfixated on the Trainspotting films recently, but I knew that I’d need to watch something else eventually. There was only one other film that could rip me from the depths of that insanity, and that, of course, was Re-Animator.

This is just genuinely the best film I’ve…
