Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Silent Night is a comedy horror film from 2021. Starring Keira Knightley. It is Christmas. This is England. A family are having a party and they have invited friends. There is this oncoming storm and it will kill everything in it's path. One of those films that leads up to the apocalypse. You have a variety of characters. You see how they interact and what secrets will be shared. As the pandemic was still on. I do wonder if this was influenced by it. There are these films worth seeing, Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World, Don't Look Up, Await Further Instructions, Ready Or Not, The Children. Lily Rose Depp is hot. Nice soundtrack. Good acting especially from the children. You will recognise the actors from their previous work. The trailer can give abit away. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Take a trip through nature

I have just watched British horror film In The Earth. Would have been made during the Covid19 pandemic. During lockdown. A scientist named Martin has arrived at a camp during the pandemic. He has a job to do and wants to speak to an old colleague of his. His tour guide Alma goes with him. You have Zach that is living in the forest. Also a scientist named Olivia that is running an experiment. You could tell which characters could not be trusted. This is a weird film. There are plenty of strobing effects. It looks like something Danny Boyle could have made. The soundtrack isn't bad. Great performance from the actors especially Reece Sheersmith. Nice special effects. That can get a bit much. This is an indie film. Written by Ben Wheatley. I may need to look at reviews and discussions. You might have seen Midsommar, Sunshine, Blair Witch Project, Evil Dead, Misery, The Forest, Annihilation.

I have watched Midsommar written and directed by Ari Aster. Starring Florence Pugh. A slow paced horror movie. One of those psychological cult films. There isn't much of a soundtrack. Quite a bit of silence during dialogue scenes. You have the odd chants, folk singing and people making weird noises. Good cast of actors. The extras had to put in some work. A lot of the time standing around and other scenes just doing some weird shit. It is a little fucked up. Some scenes I just skipped a few seconds as it felt repetitive. Some good tits on show in one scene. Interesting to see where this was filmed. Making use of the local Swedish actors. I didn't quite like the protagonist Dani as she seems controlling. A family tragedy happened at the beginning. Her boyfriend Christian is always there to support her. He had a university project to do. He is joined by friends Mark and Josh. Mark is a no nonsense kind of guy. Josh is knowledgeable. Pelle is laid back. He invited the group to his home where a festival is being held. Things eventually take a dark turn. You might like the special effects, cinematography, soundtrack, audio. Some of it is quite subtle. The sex scene was just a bit much. Also a moment where Mark was taking a piss I don't think he had got to finish or washed his hands. When the villagers would chant or scream, moan in unison you would think that they were a hive mind. A lot of the actors can sing. The dance choreography took some time. It works though. You do kind of guess what might happen to certain characters. Why choose some over the others? I do distinctly hear screaming in the background but it isn't addressed. I was quite sleepy when I started watching and I would have nodded off. I continued it the next day. I think some gave it a negative review because of the pace and how strange it was. I believe that posters and other images in the early part were the foreshadowing. I tend to look at discussions and the trivia for the film. If you like this then I also recommend In The Earth, The Wicker Man, The Wicker Tree, Hereditary, Lost, The Sacrament, The Endless, Stepford Wives, The Burbs, Arlington Road. Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, Vilhelm Blomgren, William Jackson Harper, Will Poulter, Ellora Torchia, Archie Madekwe, Henrik Norlén, Gunnel Fred.
