Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltIcW2xMuzs My Review: Wanting to see a horror film in which I hadn't seen before and something that wasn't from America as a lot of horror movies I see are I couldn't resist but to see The Lodgers . The film is about a girl who is trapped into her house with her brother after the house keeps talking to them and their parents die. Not wanting to be there anymore the girl decides she wants to leave but the house has other ideas. I thought that this film seemed familiar to me as in I had seen something similar before however this didn't take away from the movie for me. I liked how the girl reached out and really tri...

Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-80SGWfEjM My Review: Having wanted to see this for years I was glad that Netflix added it as a title and couldn't resist giving it a watch and I was really glad that I did. The Secret Life of Pets is about a dog named Max who ends up with a new dog living with him called Duke. As the two don't get along they plan to get rid of each other however this leads to them going on an adventure together to get back home and creating a friendship. I thought that this was really relateable for pet owners to see how the different pets reacted to when the owner left and how they came home from work. I also thought that it was good in showing how sometimes you...

Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQE7NGkJZHs My Review: Letting my mum choose the movie for tonight she chose the film The Beyond which made me go into the film blind knowing nothing more than it was a sci-fi movie. I am glad I did go into this blind however as I am not sure I would have seen it otherwise. The Beyond is about a black hole which appears just outside of Earth and how astronauts are going to try and find out what is on the other side and what would happen if this did happen in the next y...

Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbZJ487oJlY My Review: Having been asked to watch Mulholland Drive I decided to go into this movie completely blind and not know anything about this film before giving it a watch. I do wish however that I did check it out before I watched it and found out that this film personally just wasn't for me. Mulholland Drive is about a girl who ends up coming to Los Angeles and finds another woman in her aunt's apartment who has no memory of who she is. As a result both woman try to find out who the woman is coming across loads of clues but not all is as it seems. Personally...
