In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Titane OK
When I first heard of this French film (yes, that means
subtitles), it said it involved a girl that has sex with cars. I got curious, not only because it got good
reviews, but also because it was directed by the same person behind the
coming-of-age cannibal film, Raw,
which I was a fan of (you can read my review for that here---https://vampireclown82.blogspot.com/2017/06/mooby-reviews-61117.html). Well, the female protagonist here does have
sex with automobiles at least twice (possibly stemming from a titanium plate
she received in her head after a car accident when she was younger), but it’s
not as explicit as you’d think (might even be humorous if the film had a
different tone; this sexual fetish does have consequences too). That’s only a small fraction of the entire
film anyway. Said female protagonist murders
a bunch of people before passing herself off as an aged boy that went missing
years ago. The father of the missing boy
is convinced it is his son and welcomes her back into his life. I’m pretty sure the father (and mother at one
time) had to know she wasn’t their grown son, even before specific scenes that
would prove she wasn’t, but, then again, I’m not so sure. This film is truly bizarre, but not in the
mindfuck sense. It’s still bizarre
though; definitely unique. Bizarre
doesn’t always mean compelling though (I was bored more than once). I liked Julia Ducournau’s first film better,
but I am curious as to what she’ll give us next. 1/6/2022
Bonus review:
Slasher: Flesh & Blood OK
(haiku review)
Season 4. Shudder.
8 eps. It’s gory as
hell.
Fine, but felt drawn out.
