    His House
    As a young couple from war-torn South Sudan seeks asylum and a fresh start in England, they're tormented by a sinister force living in their new home.

    This is actually reviewing pretty well, and seems like a different approach to haunted house type movies.

    Apologies, that was a typo, got my ~400 minutes and ~7 hours mixed up and ended up with 700 minutes.

    Will leave it at that as I seem to be in the minority in trying get an idea of whether the story warrants the full mini series treatment or not.

    I watched the first two episodes last night and they certainly warrant it so far.

    Got to agree. Sad really, the billions Netflix is throwing at content and we have to wait til October to get their best of the year. Mind you, The Crown is coming next month.......

    I watched the first episode of La Révolution. It seems to be a historic drama about the French revolution, but with zombies.... I think. Interesting enough first episode, will definitely watch the rest of it.

    I loved the opening visual of the bloody horse trotting across the snow in front of the house. It looks like it won't be lacking in gore anyway.

    Yes. Extra Ordinary was like Ghostbusters mixed with Father Ted and was as lots of fun as that premise suggests

    I see a new season of Somebody feed Phil is up. If you’re ever stuck for something light and easy going it’s a good watch. Bit of a Bourdain-lite show. I like Phil but I do think he’s a bit of a marmite character.

    Started Subarra: blood on Rome just there this morning. Halfway through 2nd episode but very good so far with lot of crime and corruption between hardened criminals politicians vatican and prostitutes. Set up for lit of interesting storylines. Reminded me of love/hate in ways with it's gruesomeness and ruthlessness of the hardened criminals in parts.

    Has anyone watched okja? It's one of Bong Joon Hos.

    There was a lot of discussing about Korean shows and films a while back. Is there anything you'd recommend? Something like Annihilation or Arrival would be ideal.

    Watched two films on Netflix recently, Freaks which after a slow start I really enjoyed and Sinister, Ethan Hawke at his worst in an awful paint by numbers horror.

    The current selection of Korean movies on Netflix isn’t great, tbh.

    Okja is a lot of fun - quite a bit messier than Bong’s other movies and not as satisfying as Parasite or the likes. But it’s still full of ideas, smart filmmaking and cool moments.

    The Handmaiden is excellent all-around. Park Chan-wook’s best film since Oldboy, and an extremely smart mix of thriller and romance.

    For the night that’s in it. #Alive is a decent watch if you’re in the mood for a zombie movie. Nothing spectacular, I hasten to add, but it’s good fun.

    Zombie show Kingdom is fantastic, however. One of Netflix’s best original productions - escalates the scale and stakes to remarkable effect. Hits a bit of a lull mid-way through season two IMO but really rallies for a spectacular finale.

    I watched the film and both series, and didn't even realise that the series was supposed to be a prequel to the film. :o

    Just watched this, perfect Halloween night viewing if you're not in the mood for a straight up horror. It was actually much better than I expected, laugh out loud funny in a few places.

    Really enjoyed His House, a pretty striking horror from a debut director. Tells of two refugees who arrive in the UK, and are given their own home. But suffice to say it’s a wee bit on haunted side. Naturally, this is as much about the various traumas they’ve experienced on their path to a new life. A good solid horror movie with some meat on its bones.
