Summer of 84 (2018)
Canadian-American coming of age horror mystery film. It's about a group of teenage friends who suspect that their police officer neighbor is a serial killer so they spend their summer spying on him and gathering evidence, but as they get closer to discovering the truth, things get dangerous. It's good, definitely feels like something that could've come out in 1984. But at the same time it wouldn't be one of the big 80s movies everyone still remembers and something more akin to the popularity Silver Bullet (1985) still receives 40 years later. Of course they're nothing alike apart from both being horror movies but just popularity-wise I'd put them on the same step. Of course this one is also probably a result of 80s kids/teen horror having a moment after Stranger Things premiered in 2016. Overall I think this is good but nothing exceptional. Can recommend.

High Anxiety (1977)
American satirical comedy mystery film. It's about a psychiatrist with intense fear of heights who goes to work for a mental institution run by doctors who appear to be crazier than their patients, and have secrets that they are willing to commit murder to keep. Rewatched this yesterday and it's still a lot of fun. While this is probably not among Mel Brooks' better movies it's still very good. Very good cast with lots of Mel Brooks movie regulars (Mel Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, Rudy De Luca and more). In the opening credits it's dedicated to Alfred Hitchcock and there are lots of fun references to several Alfred Hitchcock movies. Overall I enjoyed it a lot and can very much recommend it.

There's a Man in the Woods (2014)
American animated short drama film. It's about a teacher who struggles to control a rumour spreading around his elementary school by one greedy child. Seems like it's based on (or accompanying) a poem and the narration is very powerful, as is the animation style. At less than 4 minutes it's of course very short but it doesn't need to be any longer. I definitely enjoyed this one and can highly recommend it.

The 4:30 Movie (2024)
American semi-autobiographical coming-of-age comedy film. It's about a group of teenagers in the 1980s spend the day theater-hopping. It's very entertaining but under 90 minutes long which for me was definitely too short, because I was very invested in this movie. It's directed by Kevin Smith and based on his own experiences sneaking into movie theaters as a teenager and his earliest romantic endeavors. I don't really know any of the young actors who play the main bunch of characters but there were a lot of recognizable actors playing other characters, like Jason Lee, Justin Long, Ken Jeong, Method Man, Logic, Diedrich Bader, Kate Micucci, Rachel Dratch, Sam Richardson, Adam Pally, Harley Quinn Smith, Brian O'Halloran, Rosario Dawson, Jason Mewes, Jason Biggs and more. Overall it's very entertaining and (too) short, so if you're looking to watch something light-hearted I can very much recommend this.

Pride month movie! I like the director so I was looking forward to it. This movie was weirder than I expected it to be. I remember watching Naked Lunch (1991) as well and felt similarly, which makes sense since both movies are based on William S. Burroughs' works. I'm not very familiar with him but I can see the appeal definitely. I overall enjoyed it, so many good scenes and visuals that stuck with me for a while. Not your average gay movie, just so you know so don't expect something conventional lol.

Here we go, I'll start.
Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (2010) - This movie is a joke. At first it's interesting, then it's boring and then it's just funny/pathetic. And they put it in a "horror" genre. Words are not sufficient. Nosferatu is turning in his grave. 3/10
