Wow
What a surprisingly fantastic movie. The cast performed great and the cinematography was beautifully done. The story was unique and twisted and captivating. The "backtracking " sequences were masterful. So many twists and turns(some expected, most not) that kept my attention throughout the entire film. While it had some disturbing visuals and somewhat grotesque scenes this horror film was definitely more psychological than anything. Quite the revenge story! Be warned, this one isn't for kids! REALLY worth a watch!!

Book Rating
This novel is reminiscent of Gone Girl in its style and plot. The dual points of view with at least one, maybe two, unreliable narrators propulses the story making it a page turner. The twists are well executed and some of the characters are well fleshed out. However, there are many questions left unanswered, some loose ends that could have been tied up nicely and a few eye-rolling moments. All in all, an excellent psychological thriller with a twist.

"It was hard to choose one Antonioni film, but Red Desert feels like the perfect summation of Antonioni’s work. Antonioni used color for the first time in order to show psychological imbalance and subjectivity. He depicted the modern alienation surrounding the industrial fog that’s imposed upon our lives in urban environments, and he shows how these forces can threaten our sanity. The film also has the most freakishly uncomfortable sex scene, which turns an entire room pink. Only Monica Vitti has that power"

"Few films have ever satiated my appetite for an experience of pure cinema the way Cul-de-sac did the first night I watched it. It’s a film that doesn’t strictly belong to any one genre but dances between thriller, psychological horror, and comedy. One of my favorite actors, the hugely undervalued Donald Pleasence, turns in a career-best performance as a highly pedantic, sexually frustrated, oddball English husband, while his fiery young French wife is played with dangerous irresistibility by Françoise Dorléac."

The tagline for Liv Constantine's psychological thriller "The Last Mrs. Parrish" is, "Some women get everything. Some women get everything they deserve." This is the story of Amber, who comes from poverty, and her decision to change all that by stealing the handsome Jackson Parrish away from Daphne, the gorgeous woman who seems to have it all. You can read more about this debut collaborative novel in my review here.

Fantastic Movie with a Psychological Twist
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is a fantastic movie that at first seems like an anarchist story about the anti-capitalism of American society. While it is very much that it is equally a story about someone who is slowly losing their mind. While the twist is certainly a surprise the first time watching it is still fantastic to see it all again on a rewatch. Rewatching this movie brings a new perspective on the Narrator's slow descent into madness.
