At various points, I felt like this movie might ride a more surreal, illusionary wave. But that never happened. And this is why I felt there are some shortcomings in the plot and characters. But otherwise this does a really effective job portraying the terror he faces. It's a bit like Funny Games. Not as drastic, though. I liked how this all played out in the same place throughout the movie. I'm still not quite sure what the movie wants to say. But that's ok, and might be intentional anyway.
Solid horror movie. I liked the obviously Carpenter-esque soundtrack. And also how the "creatures" looked like and how the movie looked and felt in general - more like an 70s/80s horror film. But I found those "creatures" not menacing enough and the story was a bit so-so in the end.
This was really entertaining. I think it all looked great, the Creepers are well done - and are really likeable - and the acting is fantastic, too. Sure, it's over the top, but that fits the movie well. Robert Pattinson's performance it's just perfect IMO. But also Mark Ruffalo's and Naomi Ackie's. I like the whole idea of the film, and its whole vibe. It's funny, too. Would watch again!
Like these kind of absurdist trip kind of movies. Leo is fantastic, and so is everyone else to be honest. Although I found Sean Penn's character Lockjaw a little too over the top. Two scenes that I will certainly remember: First, how the car chase at the end is filmed. Haven't really seen anything like this. Second: that stunt and whole sequence where he falls down between two buildings trying to jump the gap, then still gets up, only to get tasered around the next corner. As impressive as it is hilarious.

What a week, huh? 😅
Yesterday was the last HWC of 2025. It’s been good discussions - as always - but we also collectively worked on each others websites. Mainly in regards to CSS.
The first HWC DUS in 2026 will be on Jan. 22nd.
What a nerd. 😍🎻

I just love linear() 😍 #CSS #animation
Wrote about it here, in case you’re interested:
Believe it or not, I have not seen this previously. It's relentless. It's uncomfortable. It's horrifying. That was quite the trip, seeing it at the cinema.
Well, this was just the right desert after TCM that evening. Bad Taste was one of my earliest splatter/underground movies I've seen. It was great seeing this again after all these years. Splendid splattertainment!
