 A Spanish horror film. I am watching on Netflix. Interesting filming location. There was the civil war in the beginning. Eight years later. A poor village. Through the forest is a Blacksmith. He is an outcast. Rumours are about him having made a pact with the Devil. Other villagers are featured. One being a little girl. Lost her mother years ago. She spends time playing alone. These trailers do reveal too much. A government official has come to investigate. I saw one review on IMDb and it almost tainted my view of the movie. Good cast of actors, dialogue and special effects. Special mention to the actor playing the demon.

I have watched a scifi action film called The Old Guard. Stars Charlize Theron amongst others. A great cast of actors. Saw the trailer as I browsed Netflix. I likes the concept and I have to say that some of the soundtrack is weird. Andy and a small group of mercenaries are sent on various missions. The interesting thing is that they are immortal. Along the way they cross paths with a CIA agent, a billionaire scientist and a marine that has only just learnt of her gift. You can imagine Zero Dark Thirty meets Highlander. Many characters wanted different things. I could see it from their point of view. Good special effects and fight scenes. Only released this month. Based on a book. I will look at trivia and discussions. There may be more films.
  Cast: Charlize Theron- Andy, KiKi Layne- Nile, Matthias Schoenaerts- Booker,  Marwan Kenzari- Joe,  Luca Marinelli- Nicky, Chiwetel Ejiofor- Copley, Harry Melling- Merrick Van Veronica Ngo- Quynh.

Before I Wake is a horror drama. I am watching it on Netflix. Thomas Jane, Kate Bosworth, Jacob Tremblay. Kate looks hot. The Hobsons had lost their son to an accident. They have adopted a child named Cody. He has special gifts. Good special effects. Jacob is cute. Things happen when he is sleeping. He is a great actor, you need to see his other films.

I have watched Cold Skin on Netflix. It is an indie horror drama. Set on a remote island. A young handsome man has been appointed the job of weather official. There is lighthouse keeper not too far away. He seems rather grumpy and antisocial. Meanwhile out in the water there are these creatures that only come out at night. Good acting and soundtrack. You might have seen these other films advertised. The previous Weather Official had gone missing. I recommend that you see this film. Aura Garrido, Ray Stevenson, David Oakes.



 I have watched The Monster. A horror indie film.  A mother and daughter are the protagonists. The relationship between them is fractured. She would be labelled a bad mother. The daughter will going to stay with her father. They're in for a long road trip. There are flashbacks which are unnecessary. They do come off as annoying and useless in some parts. There is an accident and a monster is lurking in the woods. Zoe Kazan, Ella Ballentine, Scott Speedman, Meeko Gattuso.


Cast Joey King- Wren 
 Julia Goldani Telles- Hallie
 Jaz Sinclair- Chloe
 Annalise Basso- Katie
 Alex Fitzalan- Tom
 Taylor Richardson- Lizzie
 Javier Botet- Slender Man
 A horror film that I watched on Netflix. Released by Sony. Legend has it that there is a supernatural being called the Slenderman. It can be summoned. However people will go missing. A group of young friends have heard about this lore and decide to take part. A week later things start to go wrong. A friend goes missing and they want to delve deeper into the mystery. Good special effects. Nice soundtrack. I will look at trivia and discussion.

I have just watched 2036 Origin Unknown on Netflix. It is a scifi film. A space mission to Mars is almost complete however there is a problem. A few years later. On a space station is a crew. You have the protagonist Mack. She is working alongside an A.I called Arti. Her sister Lena is on Earth. A cube has been discovered on the surface of Mars. It is a discovery that could help or hinder the human race. Great cast and special effects. I was not expecting the film to go how it did. I will look at discussions and trivia. It is worth checking out. There are other films that you might also like.

 The Endless is a scifi drama. I feel that I may have seen this before. An independent film. Two brothers had managed to escape a cult. They lived their lives. Both have conflicting ideas about what they had left behind. They receive a package from the cult. They decide to visit the camp. As a form of closure. Not everything is as it seems in this place. Really good effects, story telling, acting and cinematography. Subtle clues and other visuals are shown. Worth taking a look. You might like the soundtrack.
House Of The Rising Sun The camera was shaky at one point with the park scene.

I have just watched a horror film called Polaroid. Some scenes I found too dark. It is not the fault of the film but this TV. There is an old camera from the 70s. The protagonist is a keen photographer. There are clichés. The camera is cursed. If your photo is taken then you are doomed. Pretty good horror. If you liked The Grudge, One Missed Call, The Ring then you might like this. I was thinking of the Sun Dog by Stephen King which you should check out.
