Blasphemy, Debauchery, Manipulation, Oppression, Obsession, and Depravity.

A ★★★★½ review of Resident Evil (2026)
My take on why there’s so much discourse on why there’s never been a “good” resident evil adaptation is that it feels like directors have to walk a tightrope on being a direct play-by-play, or having absolutely nothing to do with the source material. Fans will never be satisfied, and …

A ★★★★★ review of The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
The Killing of a Sacred Deer is horror stripped down to its basic elements. The purpose of the disjointed dialogue, nonchalant and blank acting, even down to the set design being cold and lifeless. The film’s horror is not due to its external factors, it’s shown to be solely related …

All the President’s Men opens with perhaps the most aggressive use of a typewriter in cinematic history, an extreme close-up of ink being stamped onto flecked carbon paper to establish the date: “June 1, 1972.” Watergate, the soon-to-become-infamous incident in which five men were arrested after attempting to wiretap the …

Gojira嘆きの怪物 Recently rewatched this one night due to an unshakable sense of restlessness and found myself weeping in solitude upon hearing Serizawa’s parting words as well as witnessing the voiceless climax.
