OLDER GODS
**** (out of 5)
UK
2023
Dir: David A. Roberts
82 min
Screener
Chris Rivers (Rory Wilson) tries to investigate his friend Billy's (Ieuan Coombs) death. Billy knew this was coming and collated all his research into a mysterious cult. Older Gods begins as Chris arrives at an isolated cabin. The start to many horror films.
Rory Wilson's performance was superb and really made this slow burner entertaining. He doesn't have much time off screen so it was great that he was charming and talented enough to take us on a wild ride.
Whilst the opener is very typical of the horror genre, the rest of the film is brilliant and will leave you on the edge of your seat throughout. You can certainly see the Lovecraftian influence in the madness and curiosity as well as the religious aspect.
The imagery created by the background music and cinematography created the haunting feeling we sense throughout. The mystery unravels at the perfect pace as Rivers learns more about the events leading up to his friend's death.
This certainly won't be for everyone but if cosmic / cult horror is your thing, you can find this on Amazon Prime now.

Set 70 years ago, this drama has a lot of charm. Whilst a little absurd, I put that to the back of my mind and just enjoyed it for what it was.
Charles Sturridge recreates the story by Daphne Du Maurier in an interesting fashion. This was made for TV, so it is nothing over the top and clearly has a smaller budget.
A little slow and flat, but mostly enjoyable. Matthew Rhys has done far better, I feel maybe the writing could have made him a little more interesting.

Got to love a Netflix rom com! No, it isn't original, but what other rom com has Baarbra? This is exactly what it looks like - a nice little feel good film you can watch whilst chilling out.
Full of cliches and romance, what's not to love? Stuart McDonald does a great job with all the little touches of your average rom com, but involves deadly snakes and showing off your crazy (and sometimes slightly drunken) self! These days, no rom com has an original plot. This is no different, but the great cast make it their own and clearly have a good time filming!
It's about chasing your dreams and doing what is right for you, even if it's difficult. It's also about changing things up, taking a risk and just hoping everything works out.
