Ross (3282 KP) is asking for a recommendation

Recommend Me
My wife and kids are away for the next 2 nights. It took me almost an hour to choose a film to watch last night and it was pretty dreadful, please help me avoid this again tonight! Recommend anything on in the UK (Sky, Amazon Prime, Netflix) - preferably horror or sci-fi. Thanks!

I was tempted to watch the Evil Dead "trilogy" again but opted instead for Split (thanks Sarah!). It was quite good, McAvoy was pretty impressive.

"This was a mythic, elusive film because it was banned from the UK. It took me a long time to track it down, but I heard many a story about it — helicopter decapitation and the guy with the screwdriver in his ear. That stuff was just so fascinating to me as I grew up, and when I finally saw it, it did not disappoint. It obviously eventually led to me making a film with a similar title"

Julia stiles
Watched last night on paramount plus as I've never seen the first orphan film which intend to when I get back to the UK this weekend. Anyway the film its not that bad a film for a prequel without a doubt isabelle fuhrmann is the star of the films the fact that the film makers can somehow get her again to play a ten year old now she's in her 20s is remarkable and then there's Julia stiles as the unsuspecting mother who doesn't that Esther isn't her Esther is also good . Plus there's a twist halfway thru the movie didn't see coming anyway got to find the orignal orphan and watch it

Bad neighbors indeed
It seems the title has been changed, in the uk it was called bad neighbors? That title is more fitting. It's generally more the same as the first but a bit cruder. The jokes mainly seem for a younger audience this time out. It's not as good as the first film.

Movie Favorite

"Steven Soderbergh’s film inspired by the UK miniseries. One of my favorite filmmakers, and this is one of many of his that I just love. From his big-budget studio films to the smaller art films, he always finds such a unique way to tell a story. And he knows how to hold a camera!"

Set after the first film. Newt is back in the UK and the Mom is adamant that the whole episode in the US was at the bidding of Dumbledore.

Credence is alive and is searching for his family which is revealed in a twist at the end of the film. The scene is set similar to Deathly Hallows pt 1 with FB3 and 4 looking to blow away the viewer.

I’m chilled by the sensational dystopian sci-fi thriller Snowpiercer (2013), now streaming (finally) on Netflix UK
While it works well as a dystopian action thriller, it’s a much more complex and layered film than it may appear at first glance. There are moments of comedy (both light and pitch black), subversion, searing social commentary and shocking violence and although the film isn’t afraid to wear its bleak, nihilistic heart on its sleeve, it does so without alienating or disengaging the viewer....

Not as much choice as US version (0 more)
Great streaming service and original content. One of the new homes for indie film. It is exciting to see films that would never get a theatrical release get more exposure. Any real complaint is that the UK version doesn't offer access to enough movies and old tv shows. But still well worth the price.
