Color Me Blood Red [1965]

Color Me Blood Red
Herschell Gordon Lewis
4/6

Unexpectedly funny. And bonus point for great music.

Two Thousand Maniacs! [1964]

Two Thousand Maniacs!
Herschell Gordon Lewis
4/6

Amazing. Now I know from whence The Wicker Man sprout.

Blood Feast [2016]

Blood Feast
Marcel Walz
1/6

Make it 50% longer, strip the charm to make it gritty and Real™, let sit until stale.

Blood Feast [1963]

Blood Feast
Herschell Gordon Lewis
1/2

I totally forgot about horrtober! Luckily it’s only the third. Apparently Herschell Gordon Lewis is the American Fulci, and still someone I’ve never really encountered.

I can sorta see the charm, but it hasn’t aged well, if I’m brutally honest.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse [2018]

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Bob Persichetti / Peter Ramsey / Rodney Rothman
6/6

Best super-hero movie ever.

The Sisters Brothers [2018]

The Sisters Brothers
Jacques Audiard
4/5

Thought it would be a comedy. It isn’t. Likes.

Desperate Living [1977]

Desperate Living
John Waters
6/6

The most beautiful movie ever made marks the start of this rewatch of all things Waters, in semi-random order.

Sound of Noise [2010]

Sound of Noise
Ola Simonsson / Johannes Stjärne Nilsson
6/6

Mr. & Mrs. Smith [1941]

MR. & Mrs. Smith
Alfred Hitchcock
nine out of six me-toos

Nineteen-forties’ romantic comedy by Alfred Hitchcock, ladies’ man. Probably best not to let too many people see this.

Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment [1966]

Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment
Karel Reisz
3/6

An ancient tale of marxism, love and gorillas.
