The Colony, Kill Command and Shinjuku Triad Society

The Colony, Kill Command and Shinjuku Triad Society

This has been a bizarre week for movie watching. As you probably are aware, movie theatres have been shut down across much of the globe and scores of people are stuck indoors right now to wait out what has caused this. This is the first week I’ve been home in an exceptionally long time and while I plan on watching more, shall we say, interesting/important/higher-profile films, I’ve been on kind of a binge of random films. So while I get myself together I’d love to talk about three of these near unknown films I’ve seen this week in preparation of me writing about something people would actually be interested in. It’s not like I have anything else to do right now.

Isolation (2005)

Isolation (2005)
Directed by Billy O’Brien

It may seem tacky, but I always try to watch an Irish horror movie or two around St. Patrick’s Day. Preferably, one I haven’t seen before, because even though Leprechaun Back To Tha Hood is an underappreciated gem, I sometimes want to try and broaden my horizons, and whether the end result is a success or failure, I’m happy to try something new. Today’s movie, from the Irish-est ever director Billy O’Brien, was the best Irish horror I’ve seen since Grabbers (which is a really fun movie and you should watch it) and a great way to get in the St. Patrick’s Day spirit! Time to get into what makes the film Isolation so good!

Directed by Steven Soderbergh

Well, isn’t this topical? With nothing new getting released into theatres last week I wasn’t quite sure what to write about, but once everyone started talking about Contagion, things became pretty clear. Given the various states of emergency that many places are putting up, I think I’ll be streaming more movies than seeing them in theater, and this is just the first! Let’s cover this and then get back to the wholesome fantastical kinds of horror we all know and love, and leave the topical stuff for the next crisis.

The Invisible Man (2020)

The Invisible Man (2020)

Directed by Leigh Whannell

I was intrigued by The Invisible Man from the moment I saw the first trailer. Sure, that intrigue wasn’t always because I thought the movie would be great, a good part of it came from discussions about what different strategies you could use to fight someone invisible and those were all great fun! Now that the film is finally out I am glad to report that there’s more to this movie than a one-note joke about how you would ‘Home Alone’ your house against an invisible menace. There’s an actual good movie in here, which I am happy to talk about. Please note this review is spoiler free but the comments section is not. Venture down there at your own risk.
