Last Film You Watched

I have an OLED and I love it. However I'm not sure Cloverfield is the best thing to test it out as it is obviously all "found footage" from a video camcorder so purposefully doesn't look that good. I do love the film though so would never discourage someone from watching it again!

I might watch Pitch Black on mine soon as I imagine that would make great use of the screen and I haven't seen it for years.
Yeah I know it night not be the best movie to watch but I saw it in the theater and my first tv and it looked really nice. Last 2 other tvs didn't really look right. Just want to see how it looks with all the black scenes

So good. Great to see Brandon Cronenberg carrying on from his dad.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, even on a superficial level I found it full of the tension, surprises and scares any decent horror type thriller should have before considering deeper meanings. The most obvious being allegorical. A tale mirroring the difference in society between 'the normal' better off leading a 'happy' existence full of possibilities and the oppressed, depressed 'others'- the tethered - leading a miserable limited existence with no prospects and no real life. A deliberate pointer imo towards US society in general, and the great divide between the middle class and oppressed, the haves and have nots as it is between the oppression of races, a problem America especially has been torn apart by for generations upon generations and is right front and centre of the news right now.

(There are nods to other past horror films notably The Shining and others which may have influenced the writer)

**** Warning minor spoiler below *****"

Again there's a neat twist right at the end which recalls the very start of the film and the hall of mirrors, who actually is the now grown up wife after all?

Sputnik is a good movie over on Netflix. Russian film with subtitles that has slight shades of Alien to it. Set in 1983 2 cosmonauts come back from a space exhibition where one of them is now the host for an alien thingy that turns out not to be very friendly (surprise, surprise). Good build up of tension throughout the film & quite a bit of gore.

Certainly worth a watch if you like your scary science fiction stuff.

I watched it the other night,afraid I disagree,thought it was a poor film,the acting was average,the script poor,the alien would have looked more at home on Ceebeebies
