What I've been watching Jan 22 and a bit before (38 movies items)

"For some reason I had put off watching this well known body horror film. I think its because I had expectations it was going to be a dull dry period thing bouyed up by a grotesque ending but I was pleasantly surprised that most of the film was interesting or enjoyable in some way"

"First viewing - Oct. 12th If you can hang with Society you'll be rewarded with excellent effects work that rewards your efforts. The cast is a mixed bag and I thought it was fairly obvious where it was eventually headed. There's social commentary here which I anticipated before they revealed it, but at least they tried. Ah, and the wardrobe and hair choices are painfully '80s. But Screaming Mad George delivers in the effects department by going all out for the finale, and I deeply appreciated w"

"25.5. Hauskahko satiiri, josta olisin halunnut tykätä enemmän. Lopussa palautui mieleen joitakin internetin ihmeellisessä maailmassa ammoin näkemiäni juttuja. Kestänee överiydessään uusintakatselunkin."

"The ending was weird in a sense that it was good and it also kinda ruined this film, mostly with the attempts of humor. But the body horror practical stuff was good. "
