Yeah probably the dumbest movie poster I've ever seen.

Also the laziness of just using some AI generated nonsense. The burning note has typical AI garbled text.

Strange Darling - 7.5/10. Non linear Pulp Fictionesqe shocker with a 70's palette courtesy of Giovanni Ribisi's incredible photography and a tour de force performance from Willa Fitzgerald.

Azrael - 6.5/10. Interesting film that contains practically no dialogue. Does become a bit far fetched.

Speak No Evil - 6/10. Watered down remake.

Deadpool 3 - 6.5/10. Apart from some of the occasionally clever and funny one liners (lol at Smashturbate) - this just feels like a pointless cash grab with a nonsensical plot.
 
The Killers Game (2024) 6 / 10. Good old skop, skiet en donder fun.

Speak No Evil (2024). 6 / 10. Decent thriller. I'd rather take this ending over that messed up Danish one.

The Radleys (2024) 5 / 10. I battled to sit through this.

Hold Your Breath (2024) 5 / 10. Sarah Paulson's performance is the only thing going for this otherwise tedious horror.

Salem's Lot (2024) 4.5 / 10. There have been far better vampire movies since Stephen King created this.

The Curse of the Necklace (2024) 4 / 10. Terrible horror.

Yeah, the same rating from me, the book was written in 1975, lots of better Vampire stories out there.

The book is a classic and brilliant, old school SK. The movie totally sucks.

I don't understand why someone with SK's money, cannot consistently produce a good movie/TV series? Like 11.22.63

TV production is very different to writing, though and they're made by different people. And I don't think he's even involved in most of it. His exec. producer credit is basically just because his books are the source material. Having money isn't a guarantee of anything, either, of course.

He also has a lot of crap books, so the quality of his work fluctuates just like TV/movie productions of his books.
