Wow, a horror movie that’s actually good! Really knows how to build up tension, keeping you on the edge of your seat for most of it.
Story is good enough to keep you interested, and it doesn’t feel like it needs to explain everything, which to me is really important to make horror work.
Warcraft
Reviewed on Aug 11, 2024
As a longtime Warcraft fan, I watched this back when it came out, and finally rewatched it now. I remember being fascinated by seeing the Azeroth I knew so well on the big screen, but once that feeling goes away, it’s just an okay film.
It feels rushed and gives the feeling that whoever was involved in making it wasn’t a fan of the games.

Everything about this movie is great. Atmosphere, acting, sounds, and how it plays with historical context. It’s meant to make you uncomfortable, and it succeeds in doing so.
Too bad it just didn’t hit me the way I think it should have. I get why it should have been great, it just wasn’t for me.

The conclusion to the trilogy that started with ‘X’, this one now takes place in the 80s and has a lot of the tropes of the movies of that era.
The ambiance, references and (again) Mia Goth’s acting really bring you into the movie. It’s a shame the climax is unable to match the same level of quality, leading to a quite confusing ending.
Pearl

Amazing movie from start to finish. Pearl is an incredible character and even though you already have an idea of what’s going to happen (because this is a prequel to ‘X’), the way the story is told just keeps your eyes glued to the screen.
Mia Goth’s acting is nothing short of amazing, too. It might actually be the best part of the movie!

I think this movie might be much more enjoyable for people who love cinema history, based on the amount of references in it and how much it goes for the 1970s slasher horror movie vibes.
For me, it was entertaining enough to keep me watching, but nothing really memorable.
Bacurau
Reviewed on Jul 06, 2024
It took me way too long to watch this movie, but I’m so glad I was finally able to watch it.
Absolutely incredible, raw, weird and full of symbolisms that will keep me thinking about the movie for days. Another masterpiece in Brazilian cinema. Have you watched Bacurau?

You can feel all sorts of emotions on this one (hah!), but the main one is joy. Amazing movie, funny, relatable, touches on very important topics with good humor and a lot of sensibility.
Props to the Brazilian dubbing and localization which was amazing and probably made the movie even better than it originally was! 😉

Mesmerizing movie that hooked me from start to finish. Might not be for everyone, but I just love when movies don’t give you all the answers and make you think about what happened. It makes you part of the story in away.
