The Tunnel

HOLY SNOT THIS WAS SCARY!!!! I get creeped out a lot, disturbed by some things, and grossed out only now and again, but I'm rarely actually scared watching a film. I'm such a avid watcher of thrillers and horror that there isn't much that actually affects me in that way. But, after watching this, I don't think I'm going to sleep well tonight. I really felt that this was the true inheritor of "The Blair Witch Project", which, as regular readers know, I feel is the scariest film I've ever seen. "The Tunnel" took all the lessons of "Blair Witch" and made a solid documentary style film that isn't just found-footage, but something far more, and reminiscent of the TV documentaries that preceded the release of "Blair Witch". If you are a fan of that type of horror, you have to see this. Loved it.  5/5

No Men Beyond This Point

This mockumentary is so good and so funny and rings so scarily true that it's a little frightening. The acting and script were excellent. I don't want to say much about the plot as the world of this film is really interesting, but it kept me completely glued to my screen. I highly recommend this, especially if you love mockumentaries like I do. 4.5/5

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

Straight up, this is laugh-out-loud for real material. I really loved this - the acting was spot on and the script was tight and really witty. I am usually very hit or miss with this type of film, but this was all hit for me. Loved it. 5/5

Death of a President

This. Is. BRILLIANT. This historical fiction film discusses what happens in the wake of the assassination of George W. Bush in 2007. It seamlessly and beautiful weds newsreel and film footage together into a completely convincing whole. Perhaps the most amazing thing though is the film's plot, which presents as a suspense thriller and it executed to perfection. There wasn't a thing wrong in this film, I loved it and was totally captivated throughout. Highly recommended. 5/5

It's All Gone Pete Tong

Paul Kaye is astounding in this mockmentary of the fall, rise, & demise of DJ Frankie Wilde. FWIW, I totally believed this while I was watching it - even Wiki has it wrong. Amazing & truly brilliantly acted. 4.5/5
