🎬 Christmas Bloody Christmas

Well, the first half is actually pretty good, where everyone's mostly talking. And the scene with the first kills is fantastic. And visuals and music are great (and one of the trademarks of this film, I'd say). But then it goes downhill. The action is not very inspired. The end drags on forever, and even the music in becomes cheesy. Meh…
🎬 Gremlins

Now that's a good Christmas movie! I'm not sure, if I've even seen this before. The Gremlins are very well done. It's funny and gruesome. I have no regrets and would watch it again.
🎬 Fargo

Jeez! Really super. A little strange maybe – in a general kind of way.
Seriously, this is damn good. I'm sure, I have watched Fargo before, but I really had no recollection. And it surprised me again how good this is. The dialogues, the cast, the plot. Everything's great here. It feels like every five minutes the story escalates. And – oh my – feeding his partner into a wood chipper in the end. Uff…

🎬 Body Double

This is a lot like a Hitchcock movie. But more funny, more absurd with more wacky characters. But still with a lot of suspense and a good story. Is it better than the Hitchcock counterparts? I don’t know. But it was a very enjoyable watch.

Death Interrupted
🎬 The Alpinist

Just incredible. And tragic.
🎬 The Tenant

I thought this looks very good, has good atmosphere, has humor, and throughout quite a few good moment. The end is great, too. But overall, this didn’t entertain me all that much. I found it too long and his co-workers super annoying (without adding much to the plot).
🎬 Repulsion

I think this must be one of those movies that introduced certain scenes and props. Liked it, especially how everything escalates in the end and how the increasing phobia is played by Catherine Deneuve.
