What was the last movie you watched? Part 2

Saving Private Ryan

 

[Lobo]

About to go see Kraven

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

This is one of the smartest horror films I've seen in awhile. It is very much the film I thought it was going to be and at the same time, so much smarter than that. Its hard to put into words without giving a lot away. Regardless of where you sit on the topic of belief, I think everyone can get something from it.

If Saw is what happens when two guys watch Se7en and don't really get what they're looking at, Heretic is what happens when two guys watch Se7en and completely get it.

9/10

(The majority of the film is dialogue so if three people talking isn't your thing, skip it.)

Kraven the Hunter (2024)

 

[Ash J. Williams]

 

[Dave McFly]

Red One it was on Prime, I really liked it, Rock and Evans were good together had a lot of great LOL moments like the snow men fight and Rock V Krampus etc.

 

[Hunter Rider]

A messy waste of Blunt, Gosling and a cool concept.

5/10

[Hunter Rider]

The jokes just don't land anywhere near as well as the previous 3 movies and the comedic spark seems dulled. The story feels forced and awkward with a silly ending, and while the action has moments of creativity, it's not enough to prevent this being the weakest entry in the series.

6/10

Joker 2 Folie a deux

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

The Doll of Satan (1969)

Italian gothic horror/suspense, written and directed by Ferruccio Casapinta (his sole directing credit). Elizabeth (Emma Costantino, here as 'Erna Schürer') inherits a castle in the Italian countryside following the unexpected death of her uncle. When she arrives she meets the house administrator/former assistant to her uncle, Miss Carol (bespectacled hottie Lucie Bomez), who informs her that shortly before his death her uncle had decided to sell the castle, and that Paul Renaud - the owner of a neighbouring villa - had expressed an interest. Miss Carol also tells Elizabeth that the castle is said to be haunted by an ancestor, who can sometimes be heard in the night calling for his lost love - who was also called Elizabeth. Although initially reluctant to sell, a series of seemingly supernatural events - including the ghostly calling of her own name at night - begin to change Elizabeth's mind, as well as cause her to start doubting her own sanity.

Although promoted as a horror, an anonymous, black-gloved killer also hints at the giallo wave to come. The location (actually two real castles near Rome) and sets are fantastically atmospheric, and the supernatural happenings and visions are pretty effective. Some of the dialogue is a bit clumsy, although that may be down to the English subtitles. And the fight choreography is weirdly inconsistent, with one character who's 'ordinary bloke' one minute, suddenly able to fight like a cross between Douglas Fairbanks and Jason Bourne (I was expecting some reveal to explain this, but no). But the cast are pretty good, one death towards the end involving a dog and an implement of ancient warfare is pretty damn awesome, and saying Emma Costantino and Lucie Bomez are easy on the eye is a criminal understatement.

This would make a fun double-bill with The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave. Some topless nudity. 7/10
