Bloodride (2020)
Yes...horror cravings satisfied!
If you liked Tales of the Unexpected or the anthology of the Hammer House of Horrors series as I did satisfy your horror thirst with this Norwegian series. I opted for the dubbed version on Neflix into English speaking, fine for myself, can't always be bothered with the subtitles. So there are 6 episodes and so far I've watched four and I wish there was more than just another two to watch as I'm enjoying the twists and turns here and I'm feeling like I'm on some kind of nostalgic bus ride, seeing as the characters are on a bus ride of sorts. I don't want the ride to end please give us more, we don't always get too much of these good old fashioned twist and turn types these days and the other positive reviewers on here are accurate in their thoughts, it's totally worth your time.
Believe Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey (2018)
Harrowing true life crime
The story had to be told, I don't see any other way of relating this tale of abduction any better, Katie Douglas has lead role of Lisa McVey, she's a good kid unfortunately she's surrounded by an abusive immediate family with the exception of her loving sister and Uncle and Aunt. How will she survive, surely nothing could get any worse, she is then abducted when riding her bike, however she has a strong spirit and it's good vs evil. Highly recommend the movie, stick with it even though it is a hard watch at times, I don't often write reviews however the acting is top notch, the movie deserves nothing but praise.
The Patient (2022)
Binge fest
I don't understand the negativety, I've watched the whole series in a few nights, in fact it was better than I thought after the first couple of episodes. If Steve Carell doesn't win some kind of award or Domhnall Gleeson doesn't I'll be surprised. It's psychological to a degree, but that doesn't dominate too much as there are storylines that branch out into several relationships so if your thinking the programme is just one person talking to another that's not entirely how it is. I'm going to watch the series again I don't often do that these days as I don't reckon there are so many thought provoking shows out there. This is something special, give it a try, make your own mind up.
Black Summer (2019)
Doesn't stop moving, make up your own mind up.
Watched several of these so far, was thinking about when I read reviews and people say there's no good horrors like there used to be. I thought yes there is,surely this will be a winner for all the horror fans, so I looked up the Imdb ratings and it gets a fairly decent score. Looking at some of the ratings I did wonder if we'd seen the same programme, I'd say watch it for yourself and decide, I really don't know what some people want in a good TV programme, for me it has the ingredients, I'll say no more only give it a try.
Ojing-eo geim (2021)
So much effort and very emotional
I appreciated the effort put into this programme, the meaning of money, human relationships, good or bad. The options we used were overdubs in English, there are plenty of them and subtitles if you prefer. The acting even with overdubs is superb, all emotions are conveyed perfectly, be warned although the games are childlike they present severe consequences if you lose. Definitely a binge watch, you'll be wanting more and be prepared for those heartfelt moments,there are quite a few. It's the best programme I've watched for awhile I had no hesitation in give this Netflix series full marks.
The Holden Girls: Mandy & Myrtle (2021)
Leigh Francis is spot on
It would seem viewers either love this or really dislike this. I've laughed my head off, so refreshing to see a proper comedy, fed up of all the reality programmes, we do really need to laugh more. I can see that Myrtle (Leigh Francis) is so much like your gran. Amanda Holden is great I don't see what's not to like. Keep up the work and keep us laughing it's what we need in the world right now.
Swallow (2019)
Superb insight
Looking at the movie description before my viewing it's described as a thriller, I'd have to use the description drama, my opinion anyway. It's certainly not a horror although disturbing at times. Pica is a mental disorder I wouldn't have known about without this movie.My feeling is the subject is dealt with an in insightful light, disturbing at times, Hayley Bennett plays Hunter, married and soon to be mother, is she really happy?Maybe not and Hunter is so superbly played by Hayley Bennet, you'll find yourself compelled to pay attention all throughout out the movie, I found myself empathising with the character and the pain expressed in the portrayal. I've watched it twice within a few days, hence my high praise.
Bad Match (2017)
Not a bad way to spend your time
If you like thrillers that are not overly long and drawn out it's a decent movie. It has enough going on to keep your attention, good twist to the ending, the acting is fine.
Chernobyl (2019)
Don't miss it
Probably the best interpretation of an historical event I've ever seen, it blew me away, I was shocked, honestly and completely by man's ignorance and honesty, it's a battle of the two. There's nothing to fault, the account, the acting, for me the actors lived the event. It's quite possible to watch the whole series in one or two nights, one to keep focused on.
The 15:17 to Paris (2018)
Not at all disappointed
Can't understand the negative reviews, the film relays the American mens lives to when they were kids and best friends with the incident shown at different times, though the majority of the incident is at the back end of the movie.The acting is really quite good, makes everything all the more interesting in that these people were actually involved in the real thing. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Christine (1983)
Well worth a watch
If you are a horror fan like myself you will not want to miss at least one viewing of this film.On the other hand if you are not a fan but cars are your thing and you like to be scared once in awhile you may still enjoy this version of Stephen Kings novel,Keith Gordon is excellent and very believable as Arnie,obsessed with his Plymouth car,love the rock n roll soundtrack,which is a perfect compliment to the makeup of the movie.The book is one of my favourite King novels having spent many a late night reading it unable to put it down,Christine the movie has all the same elements to keep your eyes glued to the screen.Well worth a watch.
