Movies (15/15)
Went to see Barbarian for my birthday date. Well - I said it was for my birthday, but I'm hoping to get at least two more dates out of my birthday. Especially since Barbarian was... 2022's Malignant. I am not, as you might guess from my tone, not really a fan of either - though it was better to see such a film in the theater on opening night with a big crowd. YMMV clearly -- if you enjoyed Malignant, I'm almost positive you'll have a blast with Barbarian. I did thoroughly enjoy one sequence, but the rest was "decent" (the first 30 minutes) to "....sigh" (the last 15). There's a movie I really love buried somewhere inside, but I'm not sure it would have been discoverable -- or that the director even would have WANTED to discover it. 


Now: Time to watch some Call the Midwife before I succumb to my momentary urge to file all of the household paperwork for the last three years.

I just went to read the summary. I see why you compared both movies. Also, meep.

It seems to be a counter-shift away from the so-called prestige horror years into the filthy (like physically dirty) gonzo horror that rose in the 70s and 80s. I'm less of a fan, though it certainly has its place.

I just read the Wikipedia summary of the movie. And that sounds like A Lot. Lol

Yes. Yes it is.
