#LetterboxdFriday supplemental:

2025 is on course to be the first year *ever* for me that new watches outnumber rewatches.

Maximum Overdrive (1986) Review

Coke: the real thing.

Cat's Eye (1985) Review

King's feline-themed threesome is worth a watch.

Cat’s Eye barely gets a mention when it comes to discussions of cinematic Stephen King adaptations.

Children Of The Corn (1984) Review

There's a kernel of a good horror movie here.

Children Of The Corn (1984) Review

There's a kernel of a good horror movie here. A cornfield should be a place of abundance; of life and growth, and it’s by subverting that idea that

The Dr Doofenshmirtz nickel meme remarking on Karen Gillan being in two seperate movies/ shows where a major plot point is the stars are going out.

Tron: Legacy (2010) Review

Joseph Kosinski's directorial debut overclocks the graphics card.

The Dead Zone (1984) Review

Make America Not This Again.

The uncanny chill of The Dead Zone doesn’t come from its budget or any overt horror imagery.

Cujo (1983) Review

Barking Bad.

Dogs rarely die in cinema and when they do, it’s usually to make you loathe the villain, not fear the animal....

The Shining (1980) Review

Kubrick's The Shining haunts King and horror cinema in equal measure.

It’s always quiet at Kubrick’s Overlook Hotel, even when it’s loud....

Carrie (1977) Review

De Palma turns King's coming of rage story into a lurid period drama.
