Midsommar (2019)
A Shocking and Disturbing Masterpiece
When I first saw the promotional material for the film, I thought it was going to be heavily inspired by "The Wicker Man" (1973). I wasn't disappointed, the film took the concept and fuzed drugs and graphic violence; to create an incredibly disturbing and shocking piece of art. The film is an experience, unlike your standard horror film. It's is worth watching for its beautiful cinematography alone. My only negative, is the film is rather slow in areas with sub plots that are often blown away in the drug fueled wind.
However I encourage anyone to watch it, purely due to the experience you'll receive.
Dark Tourist (2018)
A discount Louis Theroux, but entertaining whilst it lasts
An enjoyable time, giving a little bit of knowledge into the world of Dark Tourism. I will say, the presenter often felt he was forcing stories into the show instead of it coming naturally. It has this staged feel to it that feels very one sided most of the time. I also come from Paddock Wood, the location of the War and Peace show, shown in the episode "Europe". And it's obvious that he is drawing at straws as the show itself is about remembering the past, however it's presented in a way that makes the majority of the person's attending nazi sympathisers. Which couldn't be further from the truth. Anyway, good show, just very over dramatic.
The Death of Stalin (2017)
A slow burner, however delightfully entertaining.
"The Death of Stalin" is a fantastic satirical comedy, the beautifully British dry humour booms and creates an incredibly engaging two hours. The cast was fantastic, not one badly acted part in the film and everyone fit the role perfectly, Steve Buscemi was a highlight of mine, bringing his own strange way to the character. It flew under my radar on release, however I believe the film to now be one of my favourite comedies of all time.
