It’s a great example of taking a cool idea and really running with it. I watched another episode or 2 last night, man its sooo freaky. Obvious hints of Kubrick in there but a really original type of horror.

Who’d have thought a dark room with 3 giant chairs in it could instill such dread

I think even if I was trapped in liminal hell I’d still stop and go, ooh a Juno 106 (last episode)

Was the guy who made it really 16?! Crazy

Watched The Matrix in the cinema last night. Haven’t seen it in a couple of years and can confirm that film is still really fucking cool.

It was the original 35mm print that they showed, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before and it looked completely different to the later releases. It’s mad how green it got over time.

Yeah PCC, it’s the best. It’s the only reason why I’d even consider spending time in the hell that is Leicester Square

Such a great cinema and film.

Watched Crime 101 last week on Prime, a good cast and decent watch. Didn’t absolutely love it but a good use of a couple of hours and made me wish I was goin’ goin’, back back to Cali Cali, soon.

My favourite there was Texas Chainsaw massacre on a scratchy old 35mm print on Halloween. Mate brought a fat neat spliff of high anxiety grade, front row seats. He’d never seen it before, the look in his face after the first really bad bit was worth the ticket price alone.

Apols if I’ve told that one before but it was a funny one

Skate prems are banned there now after I think Propeller… or maybe something else around that time

More by the Backrooms guy. The Oldest View. Putting it here as its quite film like. Love it

Very much enjoyed this. It played like the precursor to a yet to be made zombie film. Not quite horror, but definitely triggering if, like me, you were a teenage boy with terrible eczema

Watched The Long Walk last night as it’s Stephen King.

Save yourself 1 hour 40.

Yeah. It felt like it would have made a solid 60 minute Netflix one-off

I’m so hyped for the Backrooms movie. They actually fuckin built a huge area of it apparently

Don’t know how they predict this but its expected to do well

Anyone who hasn’t watched the web series, get on it. I also watched People Used To Live Here which is like the creepiest game walk through ever

Edit, its called People Still Live Here

Went to see backrooms last night. Horror not really my genre. Didn’t translate very well and disappointed with ending

Office Space last night. I’ve only half watched it before in bits but I’ve been meaning to sit down and watch it in full for years. Brought up a few fun memories of working in an office back in the day.
