RIO Speedwagon (Matt #2), Thursday, 3 October 2024 21:42 (one month ago) link

Here (2023) 4/5. VERY low-key and quiet movie on Criterion Channel. Making soup and studying moss are important plot points.
Lifeforce (1985) 3.5/5. Wild stuff.
The Strangler (1970) 4/5. One of those movies that's so much stranger than what a basic plot description promises.

Mr. McMahon (2024) 3/5
The Substance (2024) 3.5/5
Bend of the River (1952) 4/5
Red Rocket (2021) 4/5

“Curse Of The Werewolf” is such a bizarre Hammer: Spanish setting, rape, cursed offspring of that crime as main protagonist, Ollie Reed as one of the coolest looking werewolves in cinema but onscreen for - iirc - a small fraction of the film. Still - prob my fave werewolf flick.
