What I Watched in August 2022

An excellent film that you should see with as little foreknowledge as possible. Seriously. See it now. It is easily one of the best films of the year. 

THE LIST

CAVALIER IN DEVIL’S CASTLE (1959) – 6 (interesting castle-set adventure in need of restoration)

THE BIG BOODLE (1957) – 5 (Cuban set Errol Flynn crime tale)

THE BEAST MUST DIE (1974) – 8 (rewatch on Blu) (somehow better with the passing years)

THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD (1982) - 4 (low budget slasher)

THE BLACK WINDMILL (1974) – 8 (solid spy/crime tale with Michael Caine)

DOGS (1976) – 6 (David McCallum in an oddly apocalyptic animal attack story)

NOPE (2022) – 9

THE APE (1940) – 6 (rewatch on Blu)
