Fangs, fiends and family in Let The Wrong One In

7th April 2022 by Sarah

Would you bloody believe it! Dublin is awash with the undead. Very spoilery on family, the ending and who dies when (if you’re after my review, it’s here) Family The vampire story is an allegory for, and runs parallel to, the exclusion Deco and Shelia feel. Both Deco and Sheila feel neglected and abandoned by… Fangs, fiends and family in Let The Wrong One In Read More

Let The Wrong One In 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

7th April 2022 by Sarah

A young man tries to help his sibling who has been turned into a vampire in modern-day Dublin. Trainspotter-turned-staker Henry might not be John Wick but he did once kill three vampires in a taxi with a sharpened stick, and if that isn’t nearly a pencil I don’t know what is. He’s on a mission… Let The Wrong One In Read More

The ending to Jakob’s Wife: is it the end though?

16th April 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Very spoilery, so read on to find out about the film’s meaning, the ending, what I like to think happens next, and also what the Deirdre / Mike / Ken love triangle from Coronation Street has to do with all this. (You can read my 3.5/5 review here.) “Thirty years of been dutiful, obedient, supportive… The ending to Jakob’s Wife: is it the end though? Read More

Jakob’s Wife 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

15th April 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A chance encounter with the vampiric Master leads to browbeaten minister’s wife Anne discovering a new sense of power and an appetite to live bigger and bolder than before. “Are blonde ladies normally considered vampires?” asked my 9 year old, eyeing Barbara Crampton and then me after wandering in while I watched Jakob’s Wife. After… Jakob’s Wife Read More

Hotel Transylvania 2 (2D) 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

13th August 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

“He’s a late fanger, just like you!” declares terrifying vampire Vlad cheerfully, of his little ginger great grandson Dennis – after various adventures with Drac still haven’t resulted in the boy’s sharp teeth appearing. In fact Dennis has shown no signs of momsterliness at all – and he’s nearly five! The is he/isn’t he a vampire conundrum,… Hotel Transylvania 2 (2D) Read More

What We Do In The Shadows 5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

20th April 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Immortality can’t all be glamorous cloak-swishing nights out or chases pursued by 15th century pitchfork-waving villagers. At some point someone has to sort out the recycling and wash up the blood-spattered plates. Mockumentaries rarely get it completely right. Balancing out the laughs with situations that could actually be real, and which also propel the story forward,… What We Do In The Shadows Read More

From Dusk Till Dawn 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

3rd October 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Ok so first off, grammar pedant alert, it should really be called “From Dusk Til-not-TILL Dawn”. Not as irritating as John-Wick-should-be-called-Jon-Wick-as-his-name-is-Jonathan, but mildly irritating nonetheless. But I’ll forgive that (waits for people even more pedantic than me – hi Mum! – to tell me not to start a sentence with But) as this is such… From Dusk Till Dawn Read More

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

26th September 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

How refreshing to find a film about a girl walking home alone at night that doesn’t turn out to be (a) a rape revenge porno-for-nice-people flick, or (b) a rape revenge porno-for-creepy-people flick (the difference between these two sub-genres being usually determined in minor film festival award wins). Even if this girl bites necks (and… A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night Read More
