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).

Speak No Evil G
A Danish family of three (father, mother, daughter) meet a
Dutch couple of three (father, mother, son) while vacationing in Italy (yes,
there are subtitles, even when the occasional English is spoken). The Dutch family invites them to come visit
their house in Holland to which they eventually do. Something is clearly off about this family as
we gradually get to know them. For one,
their son is revealed to be missing part of his tongue which the parents
explain is a condition he has. Uh-huh. The title is only Speak No Evil. I will say
that I didn’t figure out the reveal and I was trying to devise several possible
conclusions. Generally engaging and
quite dark when all is said and done. Recommended. 11/3/2022
Bonus reviews:
Allegoria EH
Remember Powerman 5000?
That industrial/nu-metal band from the Nineties fronted by Spider One
a.k.a. Rob Zombie’s little brother? He
directed this anthology film of sorts (available on Shudder) wherein a bunch of
different artists (such as a painter, actor, screenwriter, and musician) encounter
something horrific. The segments are all
connected á la Trick ‘r Treat. At barely even 70-minutes, it all largely
feels pointless, barely giving me enough time to warm up to most of the
characters. Spider, much like his big
bro, definitely has style, but if he wants to be known as a musician and filmmaker like his big bro, his next
feature needs to be better than this. 11/2/2022
