    ★★★

    Despite The Monkey being pretty uneven tonally, I had a good enough time with this one. Osgood Perkins definitely knows what he’s doing behind the camera, even if this and Longlegs underwhelmed me a bit. Honestly growing up in the 80s, we were pretty lucky to get 3 to 3 1/2 star horror films back then, so the rise of elevated horror over the past decade or so certainly hurt these mid level movies a bit. Still there lots of good…

Now I don’t want to remotely compare anything I’ve gone through to living a…

    ★★★★★

    I will keep this vague as many haven’t seen this yet, but this was probably my most anticipated film of the year, and it was everything I hoped it would be. It’s dark, gothic, tragic, terrifying, romantic, thrilling, and just about every other adjective I can think of. It looked absolutely beautiful. Robert Eggers continues his streak of amazing work. He’s truly a visionary filmmaker, and I hope I don’t have to wait as long for his next film (though…
