The Haunting of Bly Manor
An old manor house is under the control of the lady of the manor who died many years ago, but spirits live on.
It's a couple of years since release, but we only watched it last week.
It's thoroughly gripping. A well written somewhat confusing, but not to the point you become lost in the plot and with excellent narration in parts... we really enjoyed it.
9.5 dead spirits out of 10 living people.
Loved this, did you watch The Haunting of Hill House as well? I liked that slightly more just for the overall plot arch which I found more coherent and rewarding.
No, but it's come up on our suggestion list.

I preferred Hill House.

Me too, the 'splendidly splendid' Pepper Pig girl in Bly was fecking irritating.

1944: Hitler's Secret Weapon

Previously released as this

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11478458/

This is a powerful film (Russian language)

The Irony is off the scale with what's happening today.

That aside I thought it was one of the best films I've seen in ages!

Hopefully will, as we have tickets for Guitar Heroes at Dorking Halls.

Back on the subject. So Allelujah yesterday afternoon.

Typically just what you expect of an Alan Bennett based film. Enjoyable but nothing particularly new until the twist at the end. What surprised us was the hard-hitting message at the very end. I don’t particularly like Jennifer Saunders and her Botoxed face but she really nailed the part. Definitely worth seeing on a weekend afternoon..

Luther - dark story, good action scenes, nice pace, but spoiled by ridiculous continuity. The whole getting to and from Norway thing was silly.
I'm keen to book a spot on the Dover to Norway ferry.
