This is an incredible documentary that plows right through the entirety of its rough-around-the-edges indie jank to deliver a very inspiring message about art and being an artist. Highly recommend going in blind.

This is an above average teen slasher that tips its hat to some other popular franchises like Saw and Escape Room, using an extreme haunted house as its setting. Grisly practical effects, a gaggle of memorable villains, and characters displaying the most plot-induced stupidity I've seen in recent memory. Worth a watch!

After seeing this on a Blockbuster shelf a million times when I was a kid, I finally got around to watching it. Campy 80's horror with a couple of cool creatures and all of the effects were great. Not a big fan of torture porn but it's pretty tame compared to some of today's franchises.

I've seen so many found footage films at this point that the format doesn't really work on me anymore. This is probably the most important one, but the Micah character is a very annoying and their liberal use of him while the tension is building makes this a slog at times.

Loved how it looked, loved the Alex G music, and loved the needle drop. If you're looking for horror, you will be disappointed. It's very a disjointed, dreamlike surrealist dark comedy, and I was lost in the haze. Luckily I was watching it with a queer friend who could explain the message that Jane Schoenbrun was trying to convey during the credits. I had the same problem with I Saw The T.V. Glow and I loved that one a lot more after a Reddit deep dive and a rewatch. I probably need a second viewing now that I understand the subtext.

Great animation, great music, very weird, and I couldn't really follow the story but it about dreaming so that's to be expected. Also, a degree of fat shaming that I haven't seen since kid movies from the 80's.
