Possession (1981)

Jesus christ what a movie. I watched it a couple of days ago & it's not left my thoughts since. Isabelle Adjani's performance is sensational. I'm not sure I understood everything I saw but it didn't feel like it mattered too much as everything was so memorable & visually stunning. Can't wait to see it again, first of all to try and make more sense of it and second to see if it has the same effect on me second time around.
9/10

My Bloody Valentine (2009)

I'd heard a few people say that this isn't a bad remake. I love the original, probably one of my favourite slashers. It was nice to see Tom Atkins back on screen & I was kind of on board with the film for the first half hour or so, nothing great but it was mildly entertaining. Unfortunately it went really downhill after this & become dull, which for a slasher film is a sin. The whole 'who's the killer' plot of the final 20'odd minutes was so overblown. I really couldn't care less & was more than glad when the film ended.
4/10
