Fresh - Mimi Cave - 2022

★★★★★ - Comedy/horror night for the Nightmare on Film Street movie challenge. From some time back.

Probably the longest start of the movie to opening credits I’ve ever seen. Follows the girl from Where the Crawdads Sing, Daisy Edgar-Jones, who meets handsome and seemingly sweet Sebastian Stan. They go on a few dates and decide to take a trip together. Shit really hits the fan then. 

This is a trigger of a movie. According to my partner, this is what everyone woman is warned about and fears. Really made me empathize with her and everything women go through. Not really what I was expecting from a random horror movie. 

Totally loved it. It is crazy intense and disturbing. It’s gonna make you think about stuff you don’t really want to think about. But, again, great.

Where the Crawdads Sing - Olivia Newman - 2022

★★★. I liked it pretty well for what it was. The whole wild mountain woman raising her self in the wilderness was pretty interesting. Pretty cool chick this Kiya. Everyone treats her like a fucking hillbilly who doesn’t know shit, meanwhile she’s a published author who is able to live off the land and live authentically. Fuck those people. 

The trial shit that is the focus of the movie  is the most absurd waste of time for everyone I’ve ever seen. There’s basically no evidence and the prosecutor has this crazy story about how she could have killed some guy. If true, this level of planning that went into this murder would pretty much mean she was a real danger to society, just saying.

Also, I thought I was going to see basically like a Gillian Flynn story with sinister murder happening in the bayou. Ended up being way more like The Notebook
