Rolling Stone's 162nd greatest album of all time
Quite simply one of the best albums of all time. Right from the off it is a collection of fantastic intelligent 90s indie anthems. What few lower moments there are provide a welcome moment to recover from what had just been experienced. Paranoid Android, No Surprises and Airbag are some of the best British rock songs ever.

Rolling Stone's 395th greatest album of all time (433rd in the 2020 list)
Absolutely phenomenal album, featuring the truly epic All My Friends (or Dancing with Dave as fans of Elis James and John Robins might refer to it). Top notch anthemic dance/indie, at times being reminiscent of Radio 4 and The Rapture. Oh, and apparently they aren't British, they are North American.

William Sadler is AMAZING as usual
Pretty good story line
Indie Horror that kicks Mainstreams Ass
Going in to an indie film. I kinda hold my breath for the possibility that it could suck big time.
But, with this movie I was shockingly surprised with what transpired here.
Knowing a head of time the outcome of this film, because I have big mouthed friends, i was able to breathe comfortably and enjoy this movie.
It got right in to the death and disturbing story. It got all gross and disturbing just how I like them.
The only thing that truly bothered me about this movie is the incestual storyline that, while it made sense to the overall outcome of the film, it kind of put a damper on the last 30 minutes of the movie.
Incestual characters have been a staple in horror. From the Sawyers to the Wrong Turn mountain men. All of which provided amazing franchise horror movies.
The fact that this movie almost beats to death that Dollface is the product of incest is kind of annoying.
But all in all, this movie is fun, gross, disturbing and ultra cool.
All praise indie films folks, without them there would be almost no good horror films to view for sickening individuals such as myself.

Bourne meets Kick Ass
Well I didn't know what to expect with this. It's kind of a mix of Bourne meets Kick Ass. It has some crazy action scenes to match the bonkers plot whilst being quite violent. Felt like a low budget indie film rather than a big studio film. Definitely leans more towards the violent action side than a comedy.

Dark realistic Irish prison drama
Michael inside has won a lot of awards but is it as good as the hype? Well yes and no. If you don't like those slow bleak indie films you won't like this, if you do then this will be a classic. Dafhyd Flynn who plays Michael does it in a convincing understated way. This is prison life with the glamour removed. A cracking film.

Good effects for the budget
Full throttle action
A decent indie film experienced entirely in first person view point of the main character. It does feel a bit like a call of duty video game but cranked up to maximum action and speed. The action scenes are crazy as is plot. Along with the thumping sound track this film feels like a roller coaster for the eyes and ears. Definitely worth checking out!

Mixed genre
Catchy tunes
Weird but addictive
I didn't realise this was the group that did "stressed out" which i like a lot. The words don't always seem to make sense but that's party of the weirdly addictive effect it has. The "melody" is catchy and the mixture of different styles of music, from hip hop, rock and pop, to reggae, rap and indie music. It just makes it more interesting.

Jul 21, 2018
A fairly decent low budget indie thriller. I didn't expect much having not heard of it, but it was ok and I did find the ending quite different. As with most films of this type there are countless occasions in the film that leave you thinking no one would do that, what you would do different in that situation. This film loses a bit of credibility because of that. Otherwise it's a decent modern thriller.
