Wildling (2018)
An intelligent new take on a familiar genre. English actress Bel Powley is excellent as the mysterious teenager Anna, even if she was 26 when filming took place, and is well supported by Liv Tyler and Brad Dourif.
Some of the cinematography is excellent particularly in the final third culminating in a gorgeous final shot.
Wildling is a slow burning horror film that gains momentum as it gains impact with it's ideas of both a girl coming of age and folklore too. I really liked it.
Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot! (1967)
Overlong spaghetti western that relies on the usual tropes of bad acting, shit dubbing and idiots laughing maniacally. Only star Tomas Milian comes out of it with any credibility.
For a film infamous for it's violence the effects were terrible, spots of paint dripped onto clothes, the sort of effects Hollywood came out with in the early fifties. There's a scalping scene which is a hoot - a bald fella with his head painted pink.
Many seem to rate this film but i don't.
