Amazing film. Intense soundtrack that really adds another dimension to the film's atmosphere. Excellent cast and brilliant performances. Beautifully shot.

First time seeing this in many years. Still holds up well. A brilliant directorial debut. Great characters, great dialogue and great music, hallmarks of Tarantino's later films. Watched this in the run up to the release of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Tarantino season in full swing.

Seeing this years later is a hugely different experience. Also the Uncut is much more 'coherent'. In this sense it completely loses any ambiguity and it is fairly straight-forward. Donnie is an extremely intelligent teenager who has special abilities. One of them being that he can see into the future. This ability forces him to make a sacrifice. He commits a selfless act for the sake of his family and a girl that he falls in love with.
A well written film who interesting subtexts of depression, adolescence and paedophilia.

An incredibly dull and unimaginative remake. Pointless and watered-down. Has none of the original's atmosphere. An attempt to cash in on the success of Stephen King's current wave of film adaptations, such as It and Gerald's Game. Hugely disappointing.

I was expecting a bit more from this one but it was still pretty good. It was a very interesting take on the apocalypse. The scene where Elisabeth Moss is crawling in her own blood is priceless. She calls out to Alexa to call the cops, only to result in "Fuck the Police" by N.W.A. blaring throughout the house sound-system. A very clever moment indeed. Peele delivers another interesting film.
