639) LAST NIGHT IN SOHO
(2021 dir. Edgar Wright) Date Seen: November 24 2021

Edgar Wright doesn't have the formal wit of a De Palma or Raimi to pull off this type of genre throwback.. Hats off though for at least trying to switch it up & attempt an aesthetic experiment like that.

Hopefully his next will be a return to more straight-forward comedy. Where he excels.

630) ANTLERS
(2021 dir. Scott Cooper) Date Seen: November 20 2021

pretty decent attempt at bringing Wendigo folklore to mainstream cinema. Props especially to Guy Davis for the superb creature design.. But didn't Fessenden explore this same thematic territory 4 different times already?? (& a bit more thoughtfully).
