Dead of Night (1945) - 7/10
The "main story" is great, with the rest of the film ranging from captivating and eerie to somewhat bland.

The Eyes of My Mother
I think 7/10 is just about right. Wasn't at all scary, but it always kept my interest.

The Babadook- Good movie. It was extremely atmospheric and legitimately scary at times, but it was also a bit inconsistent. Really strong performance by Essie Davis, and while the metaphor was pretty damn obvious, it was still effective and served at the driving force behind the film. Can't decide if I give it a 7 or 8... leaning more toward 7 tho.

1922: In a year of strong Stephen King adaptations (if one overlooks The Dark Tower), 1922 is the best of the lot. Thomas Jane is incredibly unsettling, channeling Tom Hardy's Revenant villain and Tim Blake Nelson in equal measure, in a marvelously polished slow-burner that feels like a down-home Edgar Allan Poe tale.

Beyond the Black Rainbow (2017)- A visually audacious and sonically hypnotic throwback to surrealist sci-fi/horror of the '70s and '80s. Unfortunately, despite its technical merits, it's hollow and boring as fuck. 5/10

Nightmare on Elm Street 2 (1985). This one is a stinker. It has some of the worst performances and dialogue I've seen in a while. 1/10

Madhouse (1974) - re-watch ~ 6-6.5 out of 10 - a couple great scenes elevate it kinda - I'm a sucker for it anyway. I'd like it just for Price's campy monologue on the death instinct, oh it exists alright..........  |

King Kong (1933)- Damn, this was so much better than I remember (then again, I saw it when I was like 10 or 11). I still prefer Jackson's version, but there's so much to respect about this movie. The ambition of it is really incredible- and it was very watchable and just a lot of fun. That being said tho, it's not perfect. The story just isn't suited for a 100 minute run-time. It needed more development in order to be something really special. In the end, it's a really enjoyable film, albeit a bit rushed. The iconic status it has is certainly deserved, but I think a remake was necessary to fully realize what the film set out to do. I give it a 7.5/10.

Watched The Innocents with Deborah Kerr on TCM. Well directed throughout (nice cinematography, good use of sound and lighting ahead of it's time in terms of horror movies) and a good performance from Kerr. It was definitely a slow burn, but that third act is pretty close to a perfect horror climax. 8/10.
I really liked with the lighting how there were so many abrupt cuts between dark and bright environments or sudden cuts to a candle or something like that in a dark scene. It was often somewhat startling and really jolted the audience to attention, which is what you want in a thriller.

Don't Look Now, which I was expecting to be fine, but which I ultimately found to be unbelievably good. Aside from the admittedly unnecessarily elongated sex scene, this is a masterpiece of atmospheric, tension-building horror. The way this steadily ramps up the pace to suffocating levels of jitters is truly remarkable, and the fact that it all ends on such a baffling, startling conclusion is what sells it as a genuine horror masterpiece. Honestly might be my new favorite of the genre.
