Us has a really interesting and unusual plot, with lots of twists and turns. It was nice to see the men being dumb and the women being smart and strong and as a horror it did its thing and kept you on the edge of your seat. There was a healthy amount of symbolism and plenty to keep you guessing. It certainly created a lot of discussion between us on the journey home. The effects were great and you had no clue where it was going to take you. In fact, a lot of it seems to be up to the viewer to interpret as there was no real explanation as to what it all meant. We will give each film we see a score out of 10 for overall enjoyment.

I'm wandering if my age makes me long to avoid remakes because I hanker after the original. There were parts of Pet Sematary that I liked but there were more parts that I didn't. We disagreed slightly on the quality of this film but did agree that there were changes made that weren't necessary and didn't enhance the film in any way. It did however create lots of atmosphere, with a good amount of jump scares and some pretty good effects. If you've seen the film you already know the story and if you haven't we don't want to spoil it for you. None of the acting was believable and there was no chemistry between the characters, with the exception of course of John Lithgow, heaven knows how he got caught up in it. I will forever question the logic of a family with young children moving to such a location and not making their first priority the building of a bloody great wall!

Escape Room was alright. We have a slight difference of opinion as we perhaps both expected different things from this film. One of us feels that in 2019 standards should be higher and that Escape Room was barely a thriller, never mind a full on horror. The other of us felt that as a horror film it was all the better for being a bit naff. It gathered six seemingly random, but obviously connected people together, on the promise of a cash prize if they complete the puzzles necessary to escape from a series of rooms. So.... the acting wasn't Oscar worthy, the plot was barely there, and the characters were so stereotypical that it was embarrassing, however, a couple of the rooms were interesting, as were a couple of the shots, some of the ideas were well thought out, just poorly executed, and it certainly wasn't the worst movie we have seen this year. It didn't really offer anything new, in fact it felt like the concept was taken from several other movies. It was ...
