Kieran.boo!

I've decided to start watching movies with my eyes closed to avoid spoilers 📽️

Expectant mothers everywhere like "WHO'S WEIRD NOW, KIERON? WHO'S WEIRD FOR LIKING GHERKIN-AND-MARMALADE SANDWICHES NOW?"

🎃 Spooktober '26 📽️ 90/ Train to Busan I've been scared to watch the sequel because of poor reviews. boxd.it/gYTpWR

“Of all the books I have ever reviewed that purported to offer a serious thesis, this is without question the most deranged. If you are seeking a Christmas present for someone you really don’t like, give them a copy.” Its critics, on the other hand, were less kind…..

🎃 Spooktober '26 📽️ 88/ Sinners I resisted giving this 5 stars on release because I wanted to make sure I wasn't getting swept up in the hype of it. Rewatching it easily justifies the perfect score. boxd.it/gXBS8r

🎃 Spooktober '26 📽️ 86/ Buddy The director of Too Many Cooks was bound to make something gloriously fucked up. boxd.it/gWQC2X

🎃 Spooktober '26 📽️ 85/ The Omen It's been decades since I watched this and I had forgotten how good the OG was. Many have imitated it but few have succeeded in matching it. boxd.it/gWFn9R

🎃 Spooktober '26 📽️ 83/ Pet Sematary (2019) "Sometimes dead is better" should have been the response in the meeting pitching this remake. I finally got around to confirming that the bad reviews were justified. boxd.it/gVSwFf

🎃 Spooktober '26 📽️ 80/ Underworld Holds up surprisingly well despite the early 2000s camera work and editing. Bill Nighy scoffing dismissively is peak cinema. boxd.it/gVqHBd

🎃 Spooktober '26 📽️ 79/ Shin Godzilla So much media is zoomed in to focus on the small human scale experience of huge events, here we are distanced and being shown the bigger picture. I wish someone would give the same treatment to a zombie outbreak film. boxd.it/gUuJmt

Keep Calm and...

🎃 Spooktober '26 📽️ 76/ Godzilla -1.0/C The black and white version works so well. Watching this again I am now adamant that I need to see the new one on the highest screen I can. boxd.it/gTNHgx

The ambassador is upping their game...

Fun fact: my first pitch for Someone You Can Build A Nest In was "John Carpenter's The Thing invades Beauty and the Beast."

🎃 Spooktober '26 📽️ 74/ Leviticus Would have liked a little more from this one. boxd.it/gT8iTx

🎃 Spooktober '26 📽️ 73/ Get Out This Jordan Peele guy just might have what it takes to be a movie maker. boxd.it/gSQTXv

Fun fact about being a writer: every moment someone isn't telling you your writing is good, you assume your writing is bad. So this was a nice way to start the day.

🎃 Spooktober '26 📽️ 72/ Cure Despite falling asleep watching this last night I went back to finish it tonight and it was well worth it even if I can't tell exactly what happened. boxd.it/gSbLIb

It's cinnamon season! I'm finding myself drawn to anything with extra cinnamon in it. Chocolate, drinks, candles... if it's got cinnamon in I'm having it!

I'm terrible at following people on here. I find myself interacting with people for ages and then realise I've never followed them. I think it's because I made the mistake of following everyone in the early days of Twitter and then always regretting how cluttered it became. Now I'm more choosy.

I can't believe it's already the 18th

🎃 Spooktober '26 📽️ 71/ Succubus Much better than I expected both technically and thematically. boxd.it/gRSk3R
