Fantastic film, brilliantly done and seriously creepy in all the right places. Quite funny at times as well.
Yep. About 2/3's the way through I thought it was going to have a pretty run of the mill ending.
It pulls the rug from under your feet.
The horror dawns on you
That was me mate. Think you said you bought it for your son if I remember right. Same director Denis Villeneuve as 'The Arrival' mentioned above, which I can't say I enjoyed though it was thought provoking. A few other films really great films he made which I like are French Canadian film "Maelstrom", "Enemy" and "Prisoners". Think the last one is on Netflix.
Seeing as you like Incendies, I would recommend an Iranian film called "About Elly" / "Darbareye Elly". But go in blind and don't read up on the story if you can.
Amazing / nasty film.
Watched it before but it was on again last night. Genuinely the most horrible film I have ever seen. No happiness, at all.
Quality!.Watch it if you get a chance.
Thanks for the recommendations. I shall look out for Prisoners and Lord K's The Wailing next as I am on hols next week.
About Elly also noted. If its as good as Incendies it will be defintely worth watching.
Get Out - saw it in the cinema a last week. Great film! Comedy horror - but don't let the comedy side of it put you off. It's not really slapstick and although a couple of 'funny' moments, it builds the tension quite nicely.
Judt finished watching The Wailing. After half an hour I thought Lord K had gone soft. The film seemed really stilted. It then starts getting darker and darker and more foreboding. It really keeps you guessing and is very entertaining. It ends up being a cracking chiller/horror.
Great recommendation Lord K. Well worth watching.
Yep that is how I was as well.
"This is pretty run of the mill stuff" I thought. The main bad guy isn't even scary.
Then it takes a turn!. And afterwards I don't think I've thought about a film more. It all falls into place.
Spoilers
Alien Covenant
I don't mind deep films that make you think but this went too far. It begins with a discussion on humans finding their creator and the fact humans are the gods of machines. I was looking for closure on the big question involved and of course that isn't possible.
I thought before going to watch this it'd be back to just entertainment, guns and aliens. "Aliens" covenant - Got to be like the old Aliens surely?. Turns out this is Prometheus no.2. Some are going to be massively unimpressed with this.
It ambles along, I looked at my watch at it was close to finishing. A few shocks but no real scares. Then they cram in some Alien action near the end. It felt forced.
I think Mark Kermode sums it up perfectly:

It is worth watching but just don't get your hopes up.
Surely in the next one it'll be back to being after Alien 1. Because in Covenant you discover how the first Alien is created.
Hopefully...

Watched Birdman on Netflix last night. I thought it overly American to start with and didn't want to like it but the film won me over. It was funny, a bit daft but heartwarming. I really enjoyed it
Copenhagen on Netflix. A gem of a film. I really liked both leads and Copenhagen offers a great backdrop. Some nice funny moments within the unease of a relationship between a 28 year old American tourist and 14 local girl. Surprisingly uplifting.
Watched Raw today - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4954522/
Well worth a look if you like Cronenberg's body horror stuff and don't mind subtitles.
Looking forward to this myself, big fan of early Cronenberg.
Saw Get Out over the weekend which I really enjoyed, also saw The Void http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4255304/ which I was a bit disappointed with.
Based on recommendations from here I finally got round to watching The Big Short. Thoroughly enjoyable and educational regarding the financial crisis, some great performances in there as well
I also watched another Christian Bale film recently in American Hustle, another good film which somehow made me feel sympathy for a corrupt politician
I also saw War Dogs which was really good but the ending felt a bit rushed, it also showcased Jonah Hill's expanding acting range
Went to see it comes at night last night. Really good psychological thriller/horror - well worth watching.
Watched Jawbone, British film about a boxer. Ray Winstone has a small part. Soundtrack by Paul Weller. Solid 7.5/10.
Available on the usual internet sources
Just seen "Churchill", starring Brian Cox and Miranda Richardson.
GIVE THIS A MISS!
It is boring, and little more than a character assassination on the great man, making him out to be a senile, bumbling oaf, who tried to STOP the Normandy landings!! (He had pressed for this operation for two years)
Awful.
The new planet of the apes is pretty good as well. A few cheesy moments but then it is a blockbuster I suppose. I have to say I am quite enjoying this new series of it.
I loved American Honey on Sky Cinema.
But it won't be everyones cup of tea.
Follows a girl who runs away with some wild magazine sellers.
Good but a hell of a slog. 143 minutes.
Don't believe the adverts, it really isn't as action packed as it makes out.
More along the lines of Selma only Selma is superior.
Exploitation cinema at its finest. A few scenes so you like the main characters, then put them in all sorts of bother shortly after. Pulling at your heartstrings.
Really good. Not that scary really. Mark Kermode (like him or hate him) described it as an adventure horror.
People were still jumping all over the place in the cinema.
If you like Netflix's Stranger Things you will like this 100%.
"Hellllloooo georgiieeeee"
Saw The Limehouse Golem, really enjoyed it.
The trailer makes it out to be more of a horror than it actually is, really its a Victorian set whodunit set around the music halls.
Excellent cast with Bill Nighy excellent as always and a really interesting structure.
Had me guessing right till the end.
now that's one I want to check out the original one was I enjoyed

Finally saw this. Totally loved it. A nice departure from Hollywood formula films in that it was moraly ambiguous. Like a great Peckenpah or Freidkin film from the seventies. Had a touch of 'Two Lane Blacktop' about it. Lovely stuff.
