You’ve only got to scroll through their filmography to see that “plenty of great stuff” is patently an over exaggeration.

I’m happy with “a few decent films.”

Thank you very much, I'm here all spring, summer and maybe autumn too.

Are Blumhouse Productions making all the sodding films these days? I turn on The Invisible Man and they’ve got their dirty intro all over it.

So let me eat some humble pie when I say The Invisible Man is a pretty great horror film.

Almost as if what I said about them was bang on the money!

Sam Rockwell is fantastic in it too.

Is Jim Carey Mask/Ace/Riddler/Grinch Jim Carey or Eternal Sunshine/Truman Show/Man on the Moon/Mr Popper Jim Carey?

He's playing the baddy in an adaption of Sonic the Hedgehog. Why would you need to ask this?

I think Iron Man 2 has actually aged quite well. All the stuff they did to build out the universe felt a little forced first time around, but it kinda makes sense now we know where it ended up.

Sam Rockwell is fantastic in it too.

Main villain kinda sucks though.

I think Iron Man 2 is better than one.

And now Sat can retire.

Suspiria is a fever dream of ballerinas dancing maddeningly in a death metal album cover. Tilda Swinton is so goddamn freaky I swear she’s probably in a cult in real life.

I rate it WTF/10

Long version: it’s a story about a woman who goes to Berlin in the 1970‘s to join a ballerina “club”(? Troupe? House? Whatever the right word is) run by a group of elderly “Mothers” who may or may not be up to something. A week earlier one of the ballerinas, Patricia, left in suspicious circumstances. As Patricia’s friend is lead to investigate the circumstances of her departure, the new arrival finds herself the focus of the main Mother’s affections and is catapulted to the main role of the latest show. Stuff happens.

The film looks great and captures the 1970’s look. It has a sort of washed out colour palette that was pretty ace. It also has some freaky camera movements that add to the insanity that’s going on beneath the surface. It’s a horror film first and foremost so it might not appeal to everyone but if you’re after something that’s a bit unusual and freaky but artistically excellent then this has got you covered.

I watched Now you see us last night. Its about magicians. I don't like magicians. I didn't enjoy this film.

I can see how disliking magicians would be a disadvantage, but I loved this film. Good fun.

Also, who doesn't like magicians?!

I'm now picturing an origin story about a birthday party, a favourite pet, and a trick going horribly wrong.

(is she Downton Abbey?)

Thor - Everyone puts in a decent to good shift. Hemsworth does gormless brilliantly and hiddleston is great.

(Yes, we have skipped Hulk, mainly because it was £3.49 on Amazon, and. It on Disney Plus)

(Oh, yeah, does anyone else have really quiet audio on Disney Plus films? The TV stuff is fine, but the films we have to increase the volume by a factor of four or so)

It’s a great superhero movie but it’s nowhere near a cinematic “masterpiece”. It’s a story about people dressing up in tights for fucks sake.

1 min - 80 mins is just brilliant. I don’t want to even hint what happens because going in blind is always best but these 80 mins were pretty perfect. It’s fairly low rent of course for a Blumhouse film but it’s clearly got a decent budget and has some really interesting camera work. There’s a steady escalation of tension and terror that just worked for me. It uses static cameras for some frames that just uses the audience imagination to convey what’s happening. It’s no Ari Aster production but it’s trying hard with what it’s got. And the main antagonist is really good too. They put on a really great performance. And the makeup as the minutes pass is great to convey what they’re going through.

80 mins to finish is less good as the film goes through it’s typical action set pieces but the effects are good and the twists and turns to the epilogue is really enjoyable (but a little clichè. I mean, it’s perfectly fine, good even, but it loses the terror of the first two acts.) The ending is a bit obvious but it was probably the right conclusion to this film. Didn’t like the last shot of the film though.

Conclusion: The Invisible Man is really good. Worth your time.
