Watched Edge of Tomorrow (2014) by an author from letterboxd.com
Major Bill Cage is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously demoted and dropped into combat. Cage is killed within minutes, managing to take an alpha alien down with him. He awakens back at the beginning of the same day and is forced to fight and die again... and again - as physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop.

Maybe there is a limit to how many times you can watch this and enjoy it at its best.

If there is, this was one time too many for me.

★★★★

Watched Friday the 13th Part III (1982) by an author from letterboxd.com
An idyllic summer turns into a nightmare of unspeakable terror for yet another group of naive counselors. Ignoring Camp Crystal Lake's bloody legacy, one by one they fall victim to the maniacal Jason who stalks them at every turn.

While slashers, especially of this era, are not FAMED for their character development they do actually have characters. I’m surprised many of the “kids” in this even have names. They could just as easily be credited as Stoner , Stoner , Annoying kid. I feel like the only two people we get to know anything about are the couple that own the store.

There were two stand outs for me, though:

1) The death, and body reveal, of the guy that walks on his hands is definitely in my top 10 favourite horror deaths

2) Once the final girl earns that title she is absolutely ace (though possibly I might have gone for the decapitation “just to make sure”)

★★

Remembrance by Paradise Lost

Watched Dead Heat (1988) by an author from letterboxd.com
Detective Roger Mortis is killed in action while investigating a string of mysterious robberies: until he's brought back from the dead with a chemical company's secret re-animation technology. Now he has 12 hours to solve the case of his own death before he dies: And stays dead.

I think it was worth the ninety minutes but only just.
