Spent most of the week watching Film 4's Fright-fest horror movie binge. Best one I've seen so far is The Divide, a nuclear attack movie, based around 8 survivors forced underground into a shelter, and their experience dealing with the cramped conditions and slowly worsening food and water situation. Good film, tense and claustrophobic. Some gore/violence.

Also watched Utopia season 2, that show is still freaking awesomesauce. Best series.

I'm a bit behind, just finished season 1 and really enjoyed it. Apart from...

[spoiler]

...the eye torture.  I'm not usually very squeamish, but I just cannot cope with eyes.

 Chillis? Sand? Bleach? Spoon?

NO. Nonononono. Noooooooooooooooo.

That is not ok. NOT OK.

NOT OK.

(furthermore, it is not ok that the dialogue for that particular scene is in the soundtrack  )

Watched Under The Skin. It's a very disturbing movie set in Edinburgh and stars Scarlett Johansson.

[spoiler]It starts off as kind of a horror flick about what seems to be a serial kidnapper. There is a lot of full nudity, not something you'd want to see with the family for sure. Most of the people in the movie are not actors. The first thing I noticed about the movie was its realism. It gives the viewer a glimpse into contemporary life in Scotland. Being from the USA and never having left, it's cool to see how real people are abroad. Trigger warnings: There is a very disturbing scene in the film where a toddler is left to die and the protagonist is also almost raped and is set on fire at the end.[/spoiler]

It's a short sad movie, but I'd still recommend it.

Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist

I presumed it was a b-movie to watch while half awake or intoxicated by... something.  So i watched it while half awake one evening. Doing so created a small problem: it's a bit of an art movie and homage to the game by people who clearly played an awful lot of it as kids back in the 90's. I really should have been awake to follow the plot as it unfolded. Fortunately watching it a second time while wide awake and alert, helped a great deal.

If the film has any flaws, I'd point to the two primary actors and moments in the script where they exclaim things, or make choices only children or teenagers might. Which leads to occasional moments of wincing while viewing a pair of adults behave like teenage boys. Otherwise this is both a faithful video game originated and accurately choreographed martial arts movie, with an engaging, mature story.

That reminds me:
I recently watched Lesbian Vampire Killers.
The movie is actually better than it sounds, but don't let that raise your hopes too high.
The main plus of this movie is the way it deals (or does not deal) with clichés.

Can greatly recommend Horns with Daniel Radcliffe.

Radcliffe is clearly trying to separate himself from the Harry Potter franchise with this one; it is weird and artsy and sometimes very violent. Lots of swearing and sex. Amazing soundtrack coupled with a relatively interesting storyline that mixes romance, crime and supernatural aspects with some skill left me very happy with this movie.

TL:DR - Nothing like Harry Potter, watch it if only to see a group of journalists beat the shit out of each other to the sound of Marilyn Manson.
