"There comes a point in your life where you have to concentrate on what's right about it." What's right about mine, does not include this movie. Cheap slasher, solid cast and an "introduction" for Josh Hartnett. Josh Hartnett's always great. If you want an...

James McAvoy is spectacular (as are Davis and McNairy). Not essential viewing but it does an extremely compelling job of slowly ratcheting up tention until the very end — McAvoy is supremely confident, erratic and charming and really carries the whole th...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/alien-romulus-2024 · 16 Oct 2024
The Alien franchise is among my favorite scifi/horror franchises because it lands firmly in the don't invent the horror vortex camp. It's realistic, not optimistic and its vision of space is all rough edges, green screen monitors and square clicky buttons ...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/things-will-be-different-2024 · 14 Oct 2024
Things won't be different, but you can drive yourself mad trying to change things you can't control instead of accepting them as they are. One Alabama, Two Alabama, Three Alabama, Four Alabama, Five — Maybe Ross' trip to the spray tan place would've gone...

You never know when you'll be trapped in a haunted hotel hoping — desperately — that Yahoo! messenger connects so you can make one last video call for help. "It's not my code! Your computer's haunted!" Movies like this — with a character trapped (alm...

Launching a virus into space and waiting for it to come back down to earth so we could see what happens seems like exactly the kind of thing we'd do without thinking too critically about it. I'm glad they had a truck full of fake snow on hand.

There’s something about the physicality of 80s horror movie effects that make them so much more grotesque. David Cronenberg deserves plenty of credit for just how gnarly this is — he’s very good at making movies that horrify. It’s also an outstandi...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/lovely-dark-and-deep-2023 · 28 Aug 2024
The better of Georgina Campbell’s dual cinematic sojourns into the woods. Lovely, Dark, and Deep relies far more on subtle feeling and slowly drawing you into the woods than The Watchers inclination to show you more and more as the film unravels. I like ...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/longlegs-2024 · 25 Aug 2024
A bleak, sparsely scored horror movie that touches on the occult and lets Maika Monroe shine throughout. It also showcases Nicolas Cage in one of his best late-career performances this side of Mandy . More unnerving than outright terrifying and perfectly p...

A subdued thriller with a few twists, turns and a standout performance by Dakota Fanning. It's not perfect, but it is a solid and entertaining journey. I'm curious to see what Ishana Shyamalan does next.
