It (2017)

Watched this film this week, the cost was just £4.99 so I bought a massive bucket of Coke Zero to drink while watching the film. I've never read the book so wasn't aware of the story beforehand but that didn't hamper me. I liked the cast of characters although they were all children for the most part. Each character had something likeable about them. I'm not referring to the bullies, they were awful. While not being very scary, it was still a good film. I'm not particularly entertained by clowns and I do find them to be a little bit sinister but I can see why some people may be terrified by the idea behind this tale. The effects were good.

Antiviral (2012)

It's been a few weeks since I've posted an update here. I was away on holiday for most of August and since coming back I've not been focused on watching many films. Hoping to resolve this though and get back into a routine.
I have watched the film Antiviral though. It's a body horror film from the son of David Cronenberg, Brandon Cronenberg. He seems to be a chip off the old block. This was an engaging film, if not one I could say I enjoyed very much. I didn't empathise with the main character enough. The idea is an interesting one, stars are so elevated that even their viral conditions are harvested and rich clients pay to get their infections injected into them. You could buy the same cold as Jennifer Aniston for a price! No appeal in that for me but maybe there are some sickos out there who would go for that? I can recommend to fans of the father, not sure anyone else would enjoy this all that much.
