Last Movie You Watched 2026

Tonight I made the mistake of watching Lee Cronin’s The Mummy on HBOMAX. This movie has little in common with previous Mummy films, in fact it is actually more like The Exorcist with an Egyptian backstory. You do get the backstory eventually in pedantic detail, but the point of this movie is really to present the viewer with a body horror gore fest. It is gross and absolutely disgusting and there really isn’t any redeeming value I could find in it. Cannot recommend unless you like pointless splatter.

Prairie_Dog , I'm an old horror fan and found it very tough to watch .

Kraken (2026) . A good enough Norwegian monster flick.

 

[Hobbit]

Disclosure Day: surprisingly dull! The last 10 minutes were good, but the rest could have been done in half the time.

Kraken (2025) . Another Kraken film, this time Russian. More action than the Norwegian one and also more suspension of disbelief required.

BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE ( Henry Cass )

On Nucleus Films UK blu .

A Hammer Horror in all but name . Absolutely saturated with gothic exploitation . Loved it .

Supergirl. It has its issues, but I enjoyed this much more than Disclosure Day. Think Milly Alcock is wonderful, although I'm not sure the new direction for DC entirely works. It is very much Guardians of the Galaxy meets Superman/Supergirl in tone. The clever thing is basing it mainly off Earth, which takes the focus off Supergirl whilst it finds its feet. Jason Mamoa plays the part Jason Mamoa always seems to play these days (Dune excepted.)

Usual moans - I hate the 'kiddie in peril' trope, although the actress is good; and

nearly killing a dog is not a favourite for me

But worth watching.
