HALLOWEEK DAY 5: Host (2020) Halloween is incomplete without a good seance, and that too in times of corona virus. Six friends decide to contact the supernatural via zoom (that's as contemporary as it can get). One of the friends has also invited a medium to help them through this process. While in the middle of their 'thing', one of their friend Jemma decides to be oversmart and pretends that she is sensing a presence in her house. There is always that one friend in the group, let's be real. While doing that, she imagines up an entire new person and plays this tiny practical joke. It's all fun for her until it starts to get a little too real. Things escalate and of course everyone participating in the call gets in deep shit. The seance held on zoom was nice, as it is always the familiar 'friends meeting at night'. That and the fact that they added in the current pendamic made it interesting because there were a lot of things that I could personally relate to. Friends trying to stay connected while they are stuck in quarantine and then there is the agony of being disconnected every other minute if your internet connection is poor. That doesn't help at all if you are collectively being haunted by something and suddenly your friend dissappears from your screen. Is it the glitchy network or has she been possessed/killed by the devil? Only one way to find it out is wait! 7/10 . . . . . . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #halloweek #spookyseason #horrormoviereviews #host #zoomcall #seance #femalecinephile #happyhalloween #instamovies
Halloweek Day 4: Southbound (2015) Southbound is an anthology film with 4 storylines connected by one thing; the people involved are traveling on the same road on the same night. On this road not only do they face their nightmares but they are also forced to confront their dark secrets in this very personal hell. While all these sequences strike fear in your heart, my personal favourite is the second one as it takes some time in character development. The trick with this movie is that you will only enjoy it if you're into the genre. With anthologies, you never know if you're going to like every story. One good thing about such movies is that the story progesses quickly, so whether it is good or bad, you're done with it in no time lol. Southbound does do a decent job at creating this purgatory with some gruesome and scary details. I'd recommend it because of the setting. People traveling alone at night in the desert with all of nature's worst element against them is scary (at least I used to think about it when I travelled through such roads at night as a young kid). If you decide to watch it, do not expect a cute bow to tie up the stories. I think it's a mistake to expect that from any horror movie in general. For me, a horror movie needs to have some mystery left so you keep thinking about it. Southbound provides just enough explanation to keep the stories moving so they make sense, but there is also a lot left on interpretation. 6/10 . . . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #southbound #halloweek #halloweenmovies #instafilms #moviereviews #movierecommendations #femalecinephiles #whattowatchthishalloween #spookyseason #spookycinema
Halloweek Day 3: As above, So Below (2014) Recently I became obsessed with cave explorations mixed with the horror genre. While this movie doesn't come close to The Descent (that's like my standard now), it does do a decent job at what it sets out to do. Filmed as a found footage, 'As Above, So Below' explores some similar territories with a group of 5 explorers going deep in the catacombs of Paris in quest of the Philosopher's stone. Their adventure is spearheaded by the passionate, and a little obsessive, Scarlett who is an archaeologist. She will go to lengths that any other person would think twice before commiting to. The movie takes an interesting turn when not only are they lost in these twisted sinister tunnels, they also come to the conclusion that they must keep going deeper in order to find a way out. That seems stupid, not to mention claustrophobic as hell. These people are willingly getting burried under a city, and just thinking about that makes you nauseous. In order to have any chance at survival, these explorers must go to hell and back. It is the horror genre mixed with scientific and historical realism that makes it a worthy watch. 7/10 . . . . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #asabovesobelow #cityoflove #french #tunnels #philosophersstone #dantesinferno #hell #halloween #halloweek #instamovies #filmrecommendations #femalecinephile
HALLOWEEK DAY 2!! Since I’ve been living under a rock, I had no idea there was a Fear Street trilogy until I saw it while browsing Netflix. I grew up reading R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps, and then Fear Street when I got older. The formulaic plot was quite fun. What I love about these movies is that it has that same vibe, but with slightly more complex storylines that span across the trilogy. Fear Street: 1994 is chronologically the last film; the other two movies act as prequels. The opening scene pulled me in completely with its multiple slasher film references and the 90s neon mall lighting. It made me SO nostalgic that it was hard to evaluate the movie from an objective standpoint. After that, the movie gets into the main plot, which revolves around Deena, her ex-girlfriend Sam, and her friends and her brother. Their town of Shadyside is “cursed”; awful murders take place, and the myth goes that the ghost of a witch Sarah Fier is behind it all. Deena and her friends attempt to resolve this mystery before they become Sarah’s next victims I loved this movie. It's so perfect; the acting, the soundtrack, the 90s throwback. There is a dark sense of humor to it all, and lots of gratuitous violence. But always, the film foregrounds the importance of love and camaraderie. It should at the very least get an Oscar nod. Are the other two movies as good as this one? We'll find out over the course of our Halloween Week! 8/10 . . . . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #terrified #horrormoviemania #spanish #halloweek #halloween #tistheseason #october #femalecinephile #moviereviews #whatyoushouldwatch #cinema #moviegoers #instamovies #fearstreet #90s
If you've been following us for some time you will know each year we celebrate halloweek in the last week of October. We'll review 7 horror movies during this week, hopefully you'll find something good to watch this spooky season! 🤪 Halloweek day 1: Terrified (2017) The residents of a neighbourhood in Buenos Aires are experiencing something they cannot explain. But these are not just not some harmless occurrences as people are beginning to pay a heavy price. It almsot seems like the people living there are hanuted. Finally, three paranormal investigators decide to investigate the cases by individually living in the houses. Terrified is one of those rare films that have the bone chilling environment without relying on jumpscares. My favorite thing about the movie is that it was not too cliché, and there were some innovative twists and turns. I'm not sure if this is a pro or a con, but the movie was too short. Perhaps because the story was so engrossing that I didn't feel the 1 and a half hour pass by. But it was with a cost; the plot was not adequately explained. We saw the what and the how, but the why was left largely on our interpretation. This slight flaw kept the movie from garnering a cult following imo. Luckily one can overlook this small shortcoming in a horror movie because at the end, we do love a good scare. I would recommend Terrified as it is one of those horror movies you can see because some moments will make your skin crawl. 7/10 P.s. I heard that Guillermo del Toro is making a remake of this movie. If that happens (it was paused due to COVID), I'll be looking forward to it! . . . . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #terrified #horrormoviemania #spanish #halloweek #halloween #tistheseason #october #femalecinephile #moviereviews #whatyoushouldwatch #cinema #moviegoers #instamovies
Breaking the social media hiatus with this French thriller I saw recently. Oxygen (2021) A woman is stranded in a cryogenic pod with no recollection of who she is or how she got there. Her companion is the computer MILO who is also her only hope in figuring out what is going on while she is running out of time. As she tries to unravel her past and come out of this ordeal alive, there is a roller coaster of emotions and revelations that she goes through. I was a little skeptical of watching it because for me a movie with a single setting can get boring. But Mélanie Laurent made me give it a chance and I did enjoy it! It was not only Laurent's amazing performance but also the visuals, the direction and score that make this a solid thriller. The direction elevates the claustrophobia and panic our protagonist is going through. Perhaps the biggest element that makes the movie stand out among similar films is the various twists and turns it takes. It starts out as something else and takes a very unexpected direction from there, something a lot of thrillers lack these days. 7.5/10! . . . . . . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #oxygen #netflixandchill #frenchmovie #melanielaurent #moviereview #whatyoushouldwatch #instamovies #femalecinephile #moviebuff #2021movies

The Suicide Squad (2021) A group of convicted supervillains are recruited to go to an island and carry out a secret mission. This reboot/remake is definitely better than the 2016 version and had its moments. A few of the cast members from the original have returned this time but the bulk of the movie is made up of fresh characters. I got really excited when Michael Rooker came on screen and wish we'd seen more of him. Idris Elba managed to bring charisma to his character. I also enjoyed Pete Davidson's appearance even though it was very brief. The bit about Polka-Dot Man's mom was both hilarious and terrifying. Harley also had some growth as she decided to say bye bye to toxic relationships. We could all learn a few things from Harley (not murdering people ofc). I think the best part of the movie was the starting sequence before credits. It was hilarious and promising but after that it was just okay. Overall, I had fun watching the film minus the cringe, which is something I can't say about the original SS. The movie doesn't take itself seriously so you shouldn't either and you'll be able to enjoy it! 6/10 . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #thesuicidesquad #harleyquinn #tdk #idriselba #petedavidson #dc #comics #filmreviews #femalecinephile #whatiwatched #supervillains #peacemaker
Victor Frankenstein (2015) I will attempt to review this movie in a fashion that suits its tone which felt very chaotic to me, for reason we may never know. If you hate this review, don't forget to drop a 🖤. Will help our algorithm and it will be a win win for all of us. Another year, another rendition of the very popular classic that is known to mankind as Frankenstein. Watched this purely because of James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe, a very interesting combination. A scientist's ambitions get out of hand in his obsession over life and death. Determined to create life, Frankenstein crosses boundaries no mortal has crossed. In this nonsense ride, he takes along with him his assistant, Igor, who he claims to be his creation as he saved him from the circus, where Igor hung out as a clown, and straightened his back (yes). Also, why I initially thought Igor was Frankenstein's monster, am I that stupid? By now you will have an idea that Frankenstein here is a little full of himself, but his character is a byproduct of his childhood trauma, hence do save some of your sympathies for him. If you have read the novel or know the story, you will also be aware of the interpretations that have stemmed since the 19th century. Who was the villain? Well it certainly was not dear Franky in this particular adaptation. Our boy Frankenstein needs to prove himself because he has daddy issues. And once he realizes that he has screwed up, he juggles here and there to kill what he has made. Despite this intense learning curve, and the fact that his scientific child was a murderous lunatic, at the end Frankenstein is found in a field writing about his future prospects of giving it 'another go' and calling dibs on his loyal assistant's time and energy, because he didn't get the hint the first two times. I guess Igor still ended up as a clown, metaphorically. Once I knew there won't be any accountability on the part of Frankenstein, I found a little humor here and there and I also wanted to punch him for his over-confidence, which I secretly wish I had. Of course this means that James McAvoy was wonderful and took the job very VERY seriously. (CONTINUED IN COMMENTS)

Till Death (2021) I decided to watch Till Death recently because it reminded me of Gerald's Game, which is one of my favorites. So I went in with mild expectations. The first 10 minutes build up the plot and then we get to the part where things began to move forward. Emma is stuck in an unhappy marriage with affairs by both parties. She goes to a lake house with her husband to save her marriage and instead she gets her dose of some trauma. Stuck with the carcass of her husband, she runs around the entire house (with her dead sweet husband by her side) to find a way to get the shackles off. I think it held my attention for 15 more minutes and then I was lost. In the beginning they hinted at a horror element but then turned completely to a chase of cat and mouse. I don't have a problem with it being just a thriller, it's just that things started out interesting and then got so basic and predictable. When you watch such movies you can't help but draw parallels and obsess over how it was possible for the movie to do better with the right direction. There is some lazy attempt at action and thrill. Another thing that took me out was Megan Fox's flawless makeup. Why? Okay you woke up with perfect makeup, I'll ignore that. But you just had blood on your face and you washed it, and you still look like your stylist touched you up. You got knocked over the stairs multiple times, have been dragging a corpse around, but your makeup stays perfect. Well I for one would like to purchase that good shit right now please. With Fox, I just felt she was too rigid. She couldn't really convey her emotions through her face or maybe it was due to the direction. I know she can do better, I loved her in Jennifer's Body. Anyway, that being said, I know for some people it was a good entertainment so I'll let you decide it for yourself. I'll say this, if you have seen thrillers, it will feel like something you have already watched multiple times. Except this time, you get to see Megan Fox's cute attempts to survive.

Run (2020) Run is a thriller starring Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen. A mother duaghter duo live in a secluded estate. The teenage daughter Chloe suffers from disabilities and illnesses caused due to her premature birth. Diane is a model mother who takes care of Chloe and is proud of the woman she is growing into. Chloe is smart, strong, and resilient according to Diane, and we do not really appreciate how true that actually is until later in the movie. It's time for Chloe to apply in colleges and begin her new life but as she gets ready for this possible transition, there are some things that begin to feel off to her. In the attempt to protect her daughter, Diane is not being completely honest with Chloe but she cannot not know what it is. The greatest thing about Run is the performance of both Paulson and Allen. We have seen Sarah Paulson act so it wasn't a surprise that she was too good. But I assume it's Kiera Allen's first major project and she did not disappoint at all. I was stunned by some of the scenes she was in and how convincing she was. It was only after I finished the movie that I found out that she had also suffered from paralysis in real life and I'm so glad that it was her who played this role because her performance made certain scenes so much better and even enjoyable. Just like any other thriller there were loopholes but they were not big enough to ruin the movie for me. I think the ending here might be my favorite part because of how satisfactory it was. That's all I can say about it without spoiling it!

Jake Gyllenhaal is a gift to this world. Here are some of my favorite performances of his in no particular order, although I do believe that Nightcrawler might be his best movie. I love how his obsession slowly consumes him in Zodiac, how vulnerable he gets in Nocturnal Animals, how he becomes into Lou Bloom the psychopath, and how passionate and commited he is in Prisoners. In Enemy, he shows two sides of a coin. He is a simpleton as well as the cunning Anthony. In Brokeback Mountain we see the inner and outer conflict Jack is going through and it breaks us. And in Love and Other Drugs, he shows us his tender side.

Shadow and Bone on Netflix The last fantasy series I liked was The Witcher, and I missed watching YA fiction after that. Luckily, this came out on Netflix. In this fictional world, Alina Starkov is an ordinary girl, except she isn't (of course). When she finds that she's a Grisha (has magical powers) her life, as she knew it, changes. In a world with mythical creatures and magic, our star girl is none other than the '"chosen one", the one who can make everything right. She has to come to terms with this new reality where suddenly from a no one, she has become everything to the people around her. There's a lot of pressure on her to fulfill people's expectations. I don't have a problem with this overused storyline if it's done the right way. I mean there is nothing very unique about it but somehow in this case, I really liked it. I remember what a disaster the Divergent series was. Despite it seeming very generic, the creators pulled through here. I liked the world that has been built here. I liked the variety of characters and how diverse they were. The actors and actresses were mostly fresh faces I hadn't seen before, and they were pretty great too (Also, how pretty is Amita Suman 😍😍). There is dark history, a range of complex characters, magic, and one of my favorite things is that almost every character is explored so it's not a one (wo)man show. Multiple storylines are progressing at the same time, which means there is always some action going on that keeps you hooked. The characters' story arcs are developed simultaneously, and slowly they all come together. The first season is also short, so very easy to binge in a day or two. I think this series can very well become a guilty pleasure for many and I'm excited for the second season. 8/10 . . . . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #shadowandbone #yafiction #netflix #bingewatch #tvshowstowatch #tvshowrecommendation #instamovies #alinastarkov #grisha #magic #chosenone #netflixandchill

The Woman in the Window (2021) The title and even the premise reminded me of The Woman in the Train. So of course we have a woman who is an unreliable narrator because of her anxiety and substance abuse. She is agorabhic and cannot leave the house. Being stuck inside, and scared of the outside, what can an alone woman really do except become more aware and sensitive of her surrounding. She becomes witness to an awful crime, but it's her perspective and we can't fully trust what is what. I personally think that it can be hard to pull off a movie with an unreliable protagonist because everything becomes really convenient and it also feels repetitive because we've seen a lot of movies like this. From the beginning I knew that this trope was there, it was obvious because Anna was shown as not mentally stable. So it didn't really surprise me when they blow it up. The only thing I can say is that the main revelation at the end was unexpected for me. I do wonder if I'm stupid for that because everyone else had figured it out. But even with the shock factor, the entire idea was kind of meh. The cast was amazing except the guy playing Ethan. He was a little annoying and with people like Julianna, Gary Oldman, Amy, Anthony Mackie, Wyatt Russell (who did a great job I was pleased to see him here), he kind of stuck out like a sore thumb. Amy Adams was great obviously and that was the biggest pro. She deserves the appreciation as she went all in and showed the hysteria and claustrophobia her character was experiencing. Unfortunately, making a movie all dim and dark doesn't guarantee its success.

This is an old one but it was requested, so I thought it would be interesting to do a kind of “retrospective” review because it’s been FIVE YEARS since Me Before You came out. Let that sink in. Me Before You stars Emilia Clarke as Louisa Clark, a young woman who is so quirky, she could give Zooey Deschanel a run for her money. But this was in the days when we were used to seeing Clarke only as Daenerys, a lean, mean, killing machine with dragons, so it was exciting to have her take on this cutesy, emotional and nurturing role. Louisa is hired as a caregiver for a dashing young man called William, played by Sam Claflin. William’s entire body has become paralyzed after an accident. Traumatized, resentful and bitter, he rebuffs any attempts from his parents (and his backstabbing friends, I might add) to develop a more cheerful attitude towards life – until Louisa enters his life and turns everything upside down. When this movie came out, there were many debates surrounding representations of people with disability in cinema, and rightfully so. Without spoiling anything for you, a question to consider is: are the lives of people with disabilities not worth living? This movie does not make any groundbreaking contribution to cinema in that regard, but it is beautiful and sweet and it will make you cry a little. Even if you’re only crying at Emilia Clarke’s crying face. Also all her outfits are FANTASTIC. . . . . . . . . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #emiliaclarke #mebeforeyou #afteryou #samclaflin #romance #drama #bumblebee #wardrobe #cinema #quirky

Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021) So I have a habit if going over the ratings on imdb for movies that I know nothing about (I always take them with a pinch of salt). They kind of give you a picture of what to expect, and by the looks of it TWWMD wasn't one of the best movies to come out this year. My husband had no idea what to expect, so he was more interested in the film when it started and was excited to continue and get some answers (which never came?!). I, on the other hand, had a very 'meh' approach, which is why when it ended he looked furious while I just sat there indifferently 😂 This is another movie with no payback. It's when you know the end, but you're interested in execution and sometimes the why of it. But there needs to be a plot twist or some extraordinary revelation to bring it to life, which in current case didn't happen. There is an attempt to create action though, so you can watch it for that I guess. They created Hannah's (Angelina Jolie) tragic past so we can connect and empathise with her as she has severe PTSD and is possibly depressed. What I gathered in those 100 minutes or so was that the point here was more about giving Hannah closure and some peace. Fin Little manages to shine through whatever he is given. At this point I want to watch a good movie so bad. Please if you know of any amazing movies, drop your recommendations in the comments.

I was excited about the Friends reunion episode but wasn't going crazy even though I'm a huge fan of the show. Maybe because in my head I just kept wondering how they could make this episode wholesome but I really did enjoy it. The reunion episode shows the cast reuniting and reliving their time with each other on the set. We got some never-seen-before bts which were awsome. The costume segment didn't make any sense and could have easily written off but anyway. I also immediately realised that I was okay with this being just a reunion rather than some episode because I can't see how it could go. At one point Lisa Kudrow talks about the characters having happy endings and in order to make a show or a movie about them, they'll have to unravel all those good things that happened to them and amen to that! The point of this epsiode was to bring back nostalgia and emotions that all us fans have associated with the show. Watching people from around the world talk about how Friends helped them was touching because that's also how I feel about this show. I've made my friends watch Friends and when we meet up, every now and then someone would crack a joke relating our own lives with some moment from THAT epsiode of Friends and everyone gets it. In that moment it's just one of those many things that we share and can laugh over. There is something about this show that never gets old. The jokes make me laugh everytime I watch an episode or a clip and then I'm surprised that it still holds up even though I've seen it a gazillion times. How is that possible?! I can't compare this show to any other because it's one of a kind. I think a great part of it is the chemistry between the actual people (we got a proof of that with Jen and David 😲) and the fact that they were perfectly cast. You see them in their personal lives and there is always a hint of Monica in Courtney or Phoebe in Lisa and I think that's beautiful. To this day I watch friends over and over again and I don't think there will be a time when I will stop. To me, Friends is like a comfort bubble that I can crawl into whenever I want 🤗 Feel free to comment how you felt about the show and reunion 🤍

Chaos walking (2021) Set in a dystopian future, we see that mankind has moved on to inhabit another planet where men have their thoughts blaring loud like the beetles. Of course Mads Mikkelsen was the villain, I knew that when I looked at the cast alone lol. The problem with Chaos Walking is very simple; it's forgettable. There is nothing exciting about it. The plot is fine and I thought the concept of 'loud thoughts' was a little finny but the revelations didn't even feel like a big deal, and the climax felt more like a pre climax from where we jumped to resolution. It wasn't bad bad, but it had no distinguishing characteristics either so I felt a little underwhelmed. I don't have much to say about it because nothing really happens. What kept me watching was Tom Holland and the fact that I had to review it for you guys 😃. I love seeing Tom in movies other than the mcu. Also he has been doing great so far with his recent projects, so I'm hoping that he gets something groundbreaking soon because he has the potential for it ✌ . . . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #tomholland #daisyridley #chaoswalking #dystopia #anotherearth #aliens #madsmikkelsen #filmreview #femalecinephile #filmblog #instafilms #spaceship

I love how every moment in In the Mood for Love makes you feel like you've walked in on something intimate. At the same time, the movie has a stiff sense of formality and distance. All of this heightens the mood and makes you feel implicated in the protagonists' masochistic anti-love affair. It's serious and deep but never too serious. Could watch this one over and over again. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #inthemoodforlove #wongkarwai #floweryyears #hongkong #classic #whattowatch #movierecommendation

Cherry (2021) A young guy falls in love with a girl in his class, but then that girl decides to dump him and go to Canada, and in the heat of this heart break, Cherry decides to join the army. From there onwards his life takes a turn for the worse and he becomes involved with drugs. Cherry being an addict is not the focal point here, for me anyway, even though it leads to the climax. For me it was his PTSD. I say that because we see Cherry's journey to that point and his incentive. We can see how he suffers and how the people around him suffer with or without the drugs he takes. How he is brought to a point where he can see living his life in one way only, and copes with his trauma; that is what it was about. I've heard a lot of people criticize this movie and I feel like I'm missing something out. I agree that this wasn't peak cinema. Maybe that's the reason why people are pissed off, they expected something groundbreaking from the Russo brothers, who did everything right. I mean the cinematography is amazing. I liked their stylistic choices, albiet a little inconsistent. The cast is perfect. Tom Holland has range, he has shown us that in his latest two projects. I've never seen Ciara Bravo in any other project and here she shows her potential as well. So we have a great cast, two amazing directors, a plot with potential, yet it misses the mark with the audience? I can't put my finger on it, and tbh, I don't mind. Was it the convenient ending..? Which btw was not THAT convenient imo. Or maybe it was the predictable plot? In any case, I liked Cherry. I enjoyed it. It did seem to drag unnecessarily at some points, but it didn't bother me. I appreciated its sense of humour, which got darker with Cherry's life. I laughed and felt bad for the people in it. I think that was sufficient for me at that particular moment. I used a lot of "in my opinion"s in this post because no one else on the internet seems to share it 😂. So please tell me what you thought of Cherry! . . . . . . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #russobrothers #tomholland #ciarabravo #cherry #ptsd #mentalhealth #drugaddiction #war #moviestowatch #filmblog #moviereview #femalecinephile

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) The much anticipated Snyder Cut was released and it delivered what the theatrical release lacked. The most prominent difference was the mood which was more somber and brooding, more appropriate for a global threat. What I loved, and I assume most of the fans did too, was how every character had screen time. Yes because of that, it was also a tediously long movie for some, but it didn't go to waste. There was more character development for Flash and Cyborg, who had a much bigger role. It seemed like teamwork this time, and not Superman saving the day with Wonder Woman and Batman, with some extras to fill out the screen. We got to know about Cyborg's origin, the mother boxes, and why Steppenwolf was on earth in the first place. The battle scenes were also more elaborate and I even enjoyed the flashback scenes. When JL came out in 2017 I remember not being impressed, so much that I don't even remember what happened in it. It could not hold my attention and there were just too many holes. This felt like a real action pack movie where other plot elements were not sacrificed. I feel sad that this was not the first Justice League that we saw, because the end hinted on something exciting but now we'll never know what that was, as Snyder doesn't seem to have any future plans. But I'm glad that at least we are watching it now! . . . . . . . . . #deadpeasantssociety #zacksnydersjusticeleague #snydercut #dc #cyborg #flash #dccomics #zacksnyder #aliens #moviereview #filmstagram
