Bluebeard (2017)

-

As of this writing, this blog has officially crossed over 10k blog views! Lit as fuck. Thank you to all who stop by. I have been noticing a rapid increase in views lately and I know it wasn't my dank ass who did that so thank you guys for reading my blog. Love ya all <3

To celebrate, I am doing a spontaneous post for Black Mirror for season 6 episode 1. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT! It is live on my blog! Will eventually get the rest of the episodes in the coming weeks.

Bluebeard is a South Korean psychological thriller film that came out in 2017 in the language of Korean.

How I watched: Amazon Prime Video

For the short of it: A doctor overhears his sedated patient's murder confessions.

The long of it? 

So this movie starts off with a very broken man named Seung-Hoon who has a clinic of his own. Despite this, he has financial troubles as a lot of money had to get shelled out from the fallout of his marriage and to top if off, his son whom he seldom gets to spend time with, is way too much into his phone. This generation, man amirite?

As if his life couldn't get any more daunting, his elderly landlord is his latest patient and while he s sedated, he starts murmuring some weird ass shit. Not the good shit either. Decapitating heads, burying bodies and cutting off limbs. Like, what is up with that? 

He probably wouldn't have thought anything of it...that is if it weren't for the news literally saying that body parts have recently been found along the ocean. So yeah, Seung-Hoon is starting to take this shit a little bit more seriously. 

Have you met his wife? She's a bitch. They both still have to communicate though but they just do more fighting. A lot of words and insults get thrown around. She is big mad that her son would want to live with his dad and she thinks this place is such a pigsty. Seung-Hoon responds back that maybe her being unstable is why he doesn't want to live with her. Landlord knocks on the door with reports of noise disturbance.

Right.

He uses that to butt in his life and once the ex wife leaves, both of these guys have a sit down and rants about the divorce and all. 

I'm getting ahead of myself aren't I? 

Anyway my point is that due to all the stressors in his life has lead him down to this path where he is convinced that the butcher shop that he lives right above is in fact using human meat. Are they starting to catch on to him??? Well...

Everything just escalates from here and the whole story gets to another level of fuckery I can't really explain here but trust. It is far from such a simple horror(ish) kind of movie. Is that really your thing? Could be and if it is, this movie could totally be up your alley.

I spent a good while trying to wrap my head around why this movie is called Bluebeard considering the protagonist (or anyone for that matter) does not in fact own a beard. Upon a little googling after this movie it appears to have taken liberal inspiration from the french folktale of the same name. Case solved.

You know I really admire how intricate of Bluebeard's storyline in general. I could have easily seen this movie set on focusing way too much on brutal killings and stuff but the way things are presented in this movie gives off such a mature vibe. I mean the ending though? I have mixed feelings. It's good I tell ya what but it was all just a clusterfuck to me in the end. Could that be a good thing in a movie? That is up to you to decide should you watch this fuckery.

So with that being said, what is my verdict?

  Trauma is a Chilean horror movie that came out in 2017 in the language of Spanish. How I watched: Tubi Update: Yo, I will be posting more of the hella disturbing picks when it comes to horror movies starting today, every Tuesday. I'm just tired of browsing r/DisturbingFilms seeing the same titles thrown around with me not knowing a clue about it 75% of the time. My body is ready. And I'm going down the list. It will be known as Terrible Tuesdays . Sound cheesy? COPE. For the short of it: This movie is about 4 women who travel to a small town and become the targets of a grotesque father and son with a very disturbing legacy and inflict horror upon these women. The long of it? Aye dios mio There was a period where I got straight up frustrated with the "horror" selections at my disposal when trying to view my next horror movie. As I've thoroughly stated before that I seek out recommendations from either other blogs and Reddit threads, more often than no...

Felidae is a German animated thriller/horror film that came out in 1994 in the language of German. Based on the book of the same name by Akif Pirinçci that is part of a series. How I Watched:  Youtube   (Remember to click closed captioning)  English Dub  available if you don't want to read subs.  You know how you look back in your life and remember that one kids movie and still get taken aback how dark and scary it was? Oh, I doubt it was only one! A lot of kids movies especially from my time growing up in in the 90s there are PLENTY of dark themes to movies marketed to kids. I will say that Felidae is NOT a kids movie and I would be hella shocked if it ever was one due to the nature of it.  I did catch this movie on Youtube as linked above and reading through the comment section apparently a lot of people watched this as CHILDREN! Uh What?! I absolutely would never allow my kid to watch this movie. As a teen? I mean, sure. Enough blabbering. Fo...
