Giving the quiet place a watch anyone any thoughts?

 

Just finished. Effectivly a silent film with monsters. Not sure what to make of it is defo one of those marmite films. Tense with a few jumpy bits. Wait for the dvd release.

The Survivalist - another post apocalyptic, cannibals and what have you film set in N Ire

 

A fella living in a cabin with a very small farm is confronted by a mother and daughter who trade 'things' for food and shelter.

 

Grim, obvs but in cinematic terms brilliant.  Hardly a word spoken yet the tension and threat of violence (in many ways) is constant.  Shows our fragility which explains our brutality (ooh i've gone all Kemode)

 

Keep asking myself would we really resort to such brutality if the 'grid' went down?  Bug out bag getting prepped ;)

alien covenant were on ont sky..

 

dunno why the david robot didnt get infected .. little tiny bacteria thing turning into a massive monster in five minutes is plausible , but robot marooned on planet for years while pissing about with the black death on steroids for fun doesn't even get space lurgy from it.

 

Hmm

 . . . he was a robot! 

 

 The film has some holes but it explains clear as day how the virus/goo works.  It effects 'the meat'.

the robot will no doubt have silicones in its build.

it wouldve been better to play up the pseudo religious worship angle from the sacrifice in the previous one (the alternate take has a load of monks watching him eat the soup) than to handwave away Diatoms , Stem Cells and similar things.

 

the robot didnt even get a cough..

 

that jake gyllenhall film from about 6 months before kind of worked it better. and that got some stick for being a copy of alien.

Whiplash. Absolutely brilliant. All about an aspiring drummer and his fucking bastard of a teacher. Really enjoyed it

 

Netflix 8/10

 

Welcome to Leith. Netflix again. Doc about a small town of 30 odd who have a battle on their hands when a white supremacist moves in with his racist bastard mates. Interesting enough.

 

6/10
