Skateboarding.
I've been a skateboarder for 35 years.
Slowed down a bunch in the past 3 years, but I still get out every once in a while.

Agreed
That whole Aliens cast as a gang of vampires works so well.

Yeah, maybe without all the hype it would be different?

But I'm not sure,
since I still have the 2 awful scenes from Irreversible burned into the bad part of my brain,
I guess I was expecting more since this one came out 16 years later.

But nope.
Style over substance

What an artsy waste of time.
The upside down camera and red lights showcasing the descent into hell is pretty on the nose.
I've seen Irreversible and was expecting this to go a little harder.

Oh well.
Can't win them any (with this director)

at least some of the dancing is fun

Uncle Peckerhead (2020)

billed as a Horror/Comedy, unfortunately it's neither.
Awful acting, pacing and writing make this hard to watch
