Contracted is a nasty, disturbing horrifying movie that I regret watching. So now I’m left with the question: Is it a fair to criticize a horror film over the fact that it did indeed horrify me? 6/10
WLW Film Reviews Posts
This review is a lot of words but really, that’s all you need to know. Ultimately, Brides to Be a horror movie that isn’t remotely horrifying. 3.1/10
I hope streaming service Shudder keeps snapping up these gay A24 cast-off horror films. The Last Thing Mary Saw might not be as good as say, The Witch, but few things are. 7/10
Being an above average Jess Franco film still means this is still a bad film by any other metric. 3.1/10
Carmilla is the rare film I wish were longer. I did not want to leave the story and world this film created. 7.6/10
I love a slow-burn horror movie. Dead Earth is slow, but there’s no burn. 2.5/10
Gunpowder Heart is a heavy, depressing sit. As it should be. Camila Urrutia successfully channelled her rage, sadness and desire for change into her art. 7.5/10
While slow and subtle until the third act, Clementine holds itself together with beautiful visuals. 5.7/10
Despite some very dated attitudes towards gender and sexuality, I’m happy to welcome Invincible Asia to the canon of queer cinematic badasses. I love queer villains and I love powerful queer characters. Asia is both. 6.7/10
Beauty is not entirely a failure. There’s ambition and passion here. And some of it works. But ultimately, the film has more misses than hits. 4.6/10
