it was very sad..

Just finished it. Came expecting to be a bit spooked. Which it did more than any horror film I've seen recently. But also found it very sad and very moving. Its a remarkable piece of TV. I was 100 % invested in the characters from the get go credit to the writers. The child actors were fantastic. The time switching was seamless. Hands up I was crying at the end.

Brilliant/10

Its cancelled now, no season 3! What a shame, looks like disney are slowly oulling marvel content away from Netflix

Yeah both it and iron fist had very "to be continued" endings and now they're gone. I'm hoping they're angling towards just doing heroes for hire or daughters of the dragon but probably not.

I finished it last night and its up there as one of the best series on Netflix i loved it,it has horror but for me i felt it was more about the family and their stories,some really great performances from all the cast including the kids one scene that comes to mind when the guy who looks after the house was talking to the father in the basement it was very moving and brilliantly done.

It was very sad episodes 5/6 being the stand out ones for me,i really felt for Nell and in episode 5

when she was dancing around the empty house on her own

I imagine there will be a season two probably an origins story about the Hill family.

mmmayonaise · 20-10-2018 02:15PM

Hauning of Hillhouse is brilliant.

No cheap scares. Great story.

Not really surprised to see Luke Cage cancelled. I watched season 1. I thought it was poor with a charisma bypassed leading man.

nix · 20-10-2018 03:01PM

Luke Cage is ****ing great, disaster its gone now, WTF!!! :mad:

Agent Coulson · 20-10-2018 03:05PM

Hopefully it's to make a proper Heroes for Hire series.

I'm imagine it's Disney pulling out though. Going to imagine we'll get similar news about Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Punisher.

It’s being reported it’s totally down to Netflix and nothing to do with Disney.

Icyseanfitz · 20-10-2018 06:31PM

cant say i ever loved luke cage or iron fist, thought they where both a bit crap compared to daredevil, jessica jones and punisher

The Sinner season 2

In season 2 of Derek Simonds’ acclaimed The Sinner, Detective Ambrose (Bill Pullman) takes on a completely new case, and looks even darker that the first season.

Who knew that Orson Welles would continue making movies from beyond the grave?

Watching season 2 of hip hop evolution... Highly recommended as is season one.... Even if you are not a hip hop/rap fan, it's very informative and well made

I'm looking forward to this, the guy doing it is a rapper called Shad, he has some brilliant albums

I watched The Night Comes for Us over the weekend. An Indonesian martial-arts/action movie about a Triad hit-man who goes on the run with a child.

Insanely violent, brilliant fight scenes, great characters, quite funny and a really vibrant visual style. Reminded me a lot of The Raid – Iko Uwais from The Raid is also in this. Recommended to any action move or martial arts movie fans but not for the faint of heart.

munster87 · 22-10-2018 03:59PM

Watched Operation Finale, over a few nights as I haven’t much time lately and I enjoyed it. If I watched it in one sitting I’ve a feeling that it might have draggged a bit though.

This could be the film to break Netflix's duck and be a breakout.

Guillermo del Toro Directing ‘Pinocchio’ for Netflix

Fresh off his Oscar win for “The Shape of Water,” Guillermo del Toro is set to make his animated feature film directing debut. Del Toro has received the green light from Netflix to film “Pinocchio,” a stop motion musical version of the classic children’s tale about a puppet who wants to be a real live boy. He will write and produce the film in addition to directing it.

The film will be set in Italy during the 1930s, a particularly fraught historical moment and a time when fascism was on the rise and Benito Mussolini was consolidating control of the country. Production on “Pinocchio” will begin this fall. Del Toro previously set “The Devil’s Backbone” and “Pan’s Labyrinth” against a totalitarian backdrop, although he placed those stories in Franco’s Spain.

“No art form has influenced my life and my work more than animation and no single character in history has had as deep of a personal connection to me as Pinocchio,” said del Toro in a statement. “In our story, Pinocchio is an innocent soul with an uncaring father who gets lost in a world he cannot comprehend. He embarks on an extraordinary journey that leaves him with a deep understanding of his father and the real world. I’ve wanted to make this movie for as long as I can remember.”

An animated version of Pinocchio? About time. :rolleyes:
Though having an uncaring father? I hope that's just from Pinocchio's point of view since wasn't Gepetto wanting a son the whole point?

I enjoyed it myself. Left me with lots of questions about the broader operation and aftermath so spent the evening googling and wiki-ing.

I finally got around to watching "hold the dark" last night, from the very little ive seen of it prior, i was expecting a natural horror movie about Wolves. Sadly it hardly touches off them, but i really enjoyed it regardless. Tis a slow burner but has an impressively explosive mid movie scene that widened my eyes from the sleepy stupor they were drifting into (i was watching it late), and then quickly descends back into the slow burning mystery that it is..

I wonder if netflix will eventually start streaming in 3D suitable for e.g. oculus rift? I have this film in 3D and it is decent, but would be fantastic if you could watch 3d content in VR through netflix. I guess they would have to implement a seperate or updated app with a virtual viewing room and maybe there would be bandwidth issues, but presumably this is coming sooner or later.
