Watched a few recently....
Obsession - I think it does live up to some of the hype. Really unsettling, original and fucked up. You think about it a lot after, and the main actress is really good. The lighting and music are worth celebrating. However many of the scenes are forced and unnatural. Characters and plots do stupid or obvious things to allow the drama to happen, but It's not too egregious. 81/100
Backrooms - Cool to learn how this came to life, and that its a 20yr old director. It's a cool liminal spaces concept, with creative set design alongside atmos, music and creepiness that works well together. It's interesting but the characters and plot is underdeveloped. You can feel the youtube origins and inexperience coming through, but I'd watch Backrooms 2 (which is in dev). 73/100
Attack The Block - Low budget British comedy-horror from 2011. Sort of Sean of the Dead type humor, and very South London focused, so probably funnier for people familiar with those sort of council estate settings and characters. It did have me chuckling, and the action is decent. Not scared to kill off characters. Solid easy watch, with pinch of cult classic dna to it. 70/100
Lord of the Rings made with Peter Jackson and Stephen Colbert has been cancelled.
Looks like it's still going ahead.
