Hoodman (2021)
Watch it
This film contains all the right ingredients. It's tense, sparingly gory, has the jumps, humour, looks great, good acting and enjoyable plot. Long story short - this was a solid movie, it's not the most original plot but the insane ending was great and worthy of watching again. Taking the technical side of this movie, the perfect blending of sound design and beautiful photography. Definitely a fun movie and so much better than about 95% of horror movies these days. I enjoyed it very much! I would certainly recommend this one for anyone looking for a good thriller. Way better than most I've seen recently that's for sure!
Ash and Bone (2022)
Almost missed it
This movie kept coming up on my feed on Vudu and I almost watched it a couple of times but always found something else. Well it started showing up on Tubi too and I finally gave in and I'm glad I did.. this movie has a great recipe of acting, camera work, music and effects and story with some effects somehow it's a really good movie. It's definitely a worthwhile movie especially if you're into good stories and acting. If thriller movies is your thing this is one you weren't want to miss. I recommend it, ignore the haters and watch it. I'm rating this a 8 to help out the score. Support Ash and Bone!
The Secret of Sinchanee (2021)
Original Storytelling
I saw this film on the silver screen at the Raindance Film Festival last year in the UK and was chuffed to find it online to rent this holiday season (it has proper Christmas themes so it works great for those holiday thrills). This film had won several awards before it arrived at Raindance on the festival circuit, so there was a lot of anticipation for it to come to the Genesis Theater in London. Attending the Q&A after the screening also provided a lot of insight into filmmaker Steven Grayhm's challenging, yet rewarding process of bringing this film to the screen. To be fair, this special little (big) film is nothing short of ambitious. Scary at times and thoughtful at others - but at its very best - this film is original! As most have stated, the third act tends to tie up nicely - giving the audience a satisfying ending - and an unexpected horror fan shoutout in the form of a CODA at the end credits. The cinematography is gorgeous, with many unique camera angles and shots. The musical score is beautiful, and at one point at the UK screening, it made some of us in the audience incredibly emotional. A second watch at home and it was just as intense. The score at times sounds like something from the late, great Jóhann Jóhannsson. This is simply a brilliant little independent film that I would recommend to most anyone looking for something unique and different.
