My ★★★★★ review of Scream (1996) #Hooptober #Hooptober13 boxd.it/h10SDB

boxd.itA ★★★★★ review of Scream (1996)Ok, this is the 2nd worst display ever of a human being eating ice cream (take a sigh of relief Sly Stallone, your subhuman ice cream eating moment from Death Race 2000 retains the belt). Like, what is he doing? It is a weird mixture of poor technique and inconsistent approach that is absolutely mindboggling. He starts off by just jabbing his tongue into it. What are you really going to accomplish there? Then he goes right into biting it. Yes, we know that cops don't actually feel anything, we don't need the subtext. And then he finally pivots to

#Hooptober13 8/9 Decades - 1990s I LOVE showing my kids films that were formative for me as I grew up (still growing up TBH 😅) and tonight, that happens in a big way. My son has been asking to watch this for a minute and tonight he gets his wish. #Hooptober #NowWatching 📽️ Scream (1996)

My ★★★★ review of The Devil Rides Out (1968) #Hooptober #Hooptober13 boxd.it/h0KBo3

boxd.itA ★★★★ review of The Devil Rides Out (1968)Shame on me for assuming that Christopher Lee would be the one cavorting with the Devil. I mean, it IS a Hammer flick, so I think I get some leeway. And it doesn't help that the man has the dulcet ton...

#Hooptober13 7/9 Decades - 1960s Somehow this Satanic jaunt from Terence Fisher AND starring Christopher Lee has eluded me. Well, that changes today!! #Hooptober #NowWatching 📽️ The Devil Rides Out (1968)

My ★★★½ review of Alraune AKA A Daughter Of Destiny (1928) #Hooptober #Hooptober13 boxd.it/h022D5

boxd.itA ★★★½ review of A Daughter Of Destiny (1928)One of the earliest "good for her" films that I've seen and a welcome one at that. Brigitte Helm commands the screen with every slight twitch of her pursed lips. And bravo, to the team at Deaf Crocodi...

#Hooptober13 6/9 Decades - 1920s The only thing I really knew about this stunning release from @deafcrocodile.bsky.social was that it stars Brigitte Helm. Well that all changed when I went to update my Letterboxd list and oh my — that is quite a summary 😳 #Hooptober #NowWatching 📽️ Alraune (1928)

#Hooptober13 2/2 Bela Lugosi Films It has been a Bela Legosi packed #Hooptober and I am not complaining one bit. Apparently in this one he is obsessed with the fluid glands of virgins? Not gonna lie, I don't think it is the glands that I'm thinking of... #NowWatching 🎥 The Corpse Vanishes (1942)

#Hooptober13 4/5 Sequels I have tepid expectations that this is just another Jim Wynorski special — poorly shot, a shoddy script, and random softcore scenes, but Orville Ketchum's unhinged credit has peaked my interest. #Hooptober #NowWatching 🎥 Sorority House Massacre II (1990)

Happy Chainsaw Awards Day! I woke up way too early but so far my attempts to go back to sleep have failed. This tends to happen every year, the bolting awake with excitement. So many people work so hard to make this thing exist and I hope you all enjoy this massive labor of love. 💚

Drop some PUNCHES 👊 🖤 🤕 Now, one could argue that it is more of a "clubbing" than a punch but it is Bud Spencer. The man gets a pass on poor technique

Happy #LetterboxdFriday My #LastFourWatched My week has included a "Golden Age" horror comedy, a poor woman being tormented by a stalker, a world only explainable by grapefruit (therefore I don't care), and a door that opens up into the world of '90s pinku cinema. What have you been watching?

#Hooptober13 4/9 Decades - 1940s I'm excited to finally sit down with this adaptation of Poe's tale because even at his most sinister, Basil Rathbone is charming as hell. On top of that, Gale Sondergaard can seemingly steal any scene she chooses to. #Hooptober #NowWatching 🎥 The Black Cat (1941)
