The Wailing (2016)
The Wailing (2016)

Babe, are you okay? You haven't even touched your rotting deer carcass. Better than 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘝𝘝𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩 - A weird, absolute gonzo ripper of a ghost movie bursting at the seams with occult gibberish that shrieks with the agonizing intensity of a dying animal and wraps up with one of the most genius conclusions of the 2010s decade. On top of all that it's also chock full of exposed-nerve performances, amazing cinematography, and all these dazzlingly staged setpieces (highlights include the multiple rituals that are thrilling as *hell* and the literally dizzying chase sequence in the cliffside woods). Can't really say this wastes a minute of its 156 minute runtime - starting by very engagingly stringing along a deceitfully simple mystery which gradually morphs into a messy blast of at least three different genres all handled with originality and a wicked sense of inertia - with one of the best child performances ever translated to film. One of the few "begs for a rewatch" movies that actually warrants one.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Blindspot - Season 3 in TV

Blindspot - Season 3
2017 | Action
This season should have been titled "really do we still have to bother with those tattoos?!". The series once again follows the FBI team, and Jane Doe in trying to solve mysterious tattoos on Jane's body, averting terrorist attacks as they go. Only this time, it is a whole new series of tattoos which have been ridiculously put on her in UV or something so were not obvious.
The tattoos are no longer solved in interesting manners, now there is 30 seconds devoted to that, the rest being rushing around with guns.
Some of the puzzles appear to have been solved by something like "so I took these numbers, rearranged them at random, converted each one to the letter of the alphabet, translated that into Dutch, then back into numbers and tried this as an IP address and found that a ship has just docked with the same name as your mother-in-law's maiden name, get over there pronto".
The overarching plot was fine and reasonably exciting, but there was so much deus ex machina that I just got really annoyed.
