I like how they highlighted the "compelling performances" in Oddity. Otherwise this list is complete shit!

"The Moor" (2024) - this started off SO well and has all the cosy English folk horror vibes (iykyk) you could want, but at over two hours it was just far too long, and I was fighting sleep by the end
"Immaculate" (2024) - I spent far too long not being very interested in this, and when I eventually got to it, found it actually quite emotional and harrowing (albeit with too many campy jump scares); "The First Omen" is pretty much the same story and technically probably a better film, but this one got under my skin more for some reason
"Azrael" (2024) - I liked the concept and am all for a movie that's low on plot and high on vibes, with lots of ambiguity, I just found it ultimately kind of bland and too repetitive; didn't finish
"Door" (1988) - a little dated in some spots and obviously low budget, this is still very well constructed, shot and acted -- it's J-horror, of course it is -- worth a watch if you want to see what an 80's home invasion horror made in Japan looks like
"MadS" (2024) - just watched, and greatly enjoyed: quick, emotional, beautiful and intense; this is how to do a slice of life vibey horror well

I finished "Kwaidan" (1964) last night, a J-horror classic anthology film if you have 3 hours to spare; really excellent, and it was nice to think about what it must have influenced later (Ringu, Ju-On, I even saw a bit of Demon Slayer in it)

Kwaidan is great, all that era of 1960 japanese folk horror is amazing really. Kuroneko, Onibaba, Jigoku, 100 Yokai, etc.

spent kind of a ridiculous amount of money buying the OOP special edition of Blood Rage a little while back, but this month is when it pays off. Love that weird ass movie.

Didn’t realize that had gone OOP. Wonder if maybe there’s a 4K in the works.

At least the 3 disc limited edition is, anyway. Crazy that this movie has a 3 disc Blu-ray release, used to be you had to either find an old vhs or dl it…
