Easily one of the creepiest movies. Unforgettable use of music, evocative camera work combining long dollies with pov shots, ominous lighting and low angles. The steadicam shots cutting through crowds and dollying into faces makes the movie so claustrophobic and unsettling! Invasion of the Body Snatchers is undeniably stylish, capturing a level of paranoia familiar to any city weirdo like myself- always surrounded by people, distrusting everyone to an almost pathological degree. The movie even seems to suggest everyone is…

Intruder 1989
If you've ever worked retail, you're predisposed to like Intruder. The first 40 minutes, while a bit slow set up the many locations within the supermarket and even foreshadows a few kills (no two kills are alike here). The supermarket is vast. The slowness actually reminded me of how mundane jobs like this are. Everyone has their role and they simply go about their jobs. Repetition for hours and hours under dim overhead lighting. While our final girl is harassed…

Cassandro 2023
There's no way I wasn't going to love this. As a queer wrestling fan and Gael Garcia Bernal stan, Cassandro was always going to play with my heart strings. I've been a fan of Cassandro for more than a decade and always loved him, his personal magic and style he brought to the ring always inspired me. In a business so plagued with toxic masculinity, and a history of bigotry and abuse, queer and women wrestlers have often stood as…

No One Will Save You 2023
Fucked up shit happens to this quirked up white girl just trying to live her cottage-core fantasy. Kaitlyn Dever is fine throughout and there's extremely little dialogue. The imagery could have been stronger to make up for that. I didn't really feel connected to her character at all, partially because the movie waits too long to reveal the context of her trauma. But the little dialogue made Brynn's backstory feel less rote though. Regardless, the movie amused me.

Killer Sally 2022
Sally killed her abuser, it is very clear. But she was failed by the media, who saw her as a freak show and the justice system that fails to take domestic violence seriously, thus protecting the abuser. Battered women deserve so much better. Such a lack of empathy for her and her children by the court, the media and the prosecuting attorney. Absolutely heinous.
