I hadn't seen WOTW for a long time and it was a favourite of mine growing up along with Invaders from Mars. It mostly holds up although I'm not sure about the ending.

TLADILA was a first-time watch and I loved it. I always assumed it was a Michael Mann film but it is very much William Friedkin!

This week's #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday.

Working through Indicator's Universal Noir #2 box set, although many of the films seem closer to melodrama than noir to me.

Finally caught up with Silent Night, Deadly Night 3-5. These are completely bonkers!

I can always rewatch Poltergeist!

This week's #LetterboxdFriday ends #JanuaryGiallo with two of Argento's most stylish films. Completing my #LastFourWatched are a chilly modern fairy tale and a brutal atomic age noir.

Battleship Potemkin was a first-time watch and lived up to its reputation. I've seen Godland and 20th Century Women multiple times. Both films are superb and continue to resonate. Also, trying to watch at least one film for #JanuaryGiallo!

The in-camera effects are amazing. I saw La Belle et la BΓͺte years ago and remember it being just as visually striking. Probably due for a rewatch soon!

Last four watched: Rope, The Hitch-Hiker, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad and The Breaking Point.

Four fantastic films for this week's #LetterboxdFriday. Rope gets better with every rewatch and I think Golden Voyage might be my favourite Sinbad movie. The Hitch-Hiker and The Breaking Point were first time watches and didn't disappoint.

Thanks! Most of these were first-time watches for me. This year, I've mostly been watching older movies. There are so many great films that I want to see. However, I should really catch up on some more recent releases!

Three noirs and a kaleidoscopic B-movie VHS mixtape for this week's #LetterboxdFriday. Detour is one of my all-time favourites and the quintessential film noir.

Last four watched: Inferno, Kill, Baby ... Kill!, Black Sunday and Island of Doomed Men.

The last film in Indicator's Columbia Horror collection and rewatching three spooky classics for #LetterboxdFriday. Inferno might be my favourite Argento film. A phantasmagorical fever dream where every frame is perfectly composed. Plus special effects created by Mario Bava!

This week's #LetterboxdFriday includes a #FulciFriday bonus!

Direct-to-video zombies, a sequel to an 80s horror classic and two gialli. The dark, surreal vision of "swinging" London is top-tier Fulci.

The Video Dead

The Video Dead

#NowWatching a real blast from the past! Brings back fond memories of browsing the horror section of the video store as a teenager with my friends. Over 30 years later, it's still a lot of fun, but not as creepy as I remember.
