Film Review: The Rental
There are genre movies out there that play on humanity’s fear of supernatural horrors like ghosts, goblins, and unknown presences. Then some play to fears we have about the everyday world around us instead. Think home intruders, killers, modern technology, and human betrayal. Directed by first-timer Dave Franco, The Rental is the latter. It stars Dan Stevens (from Apostle), Alison Brie (from Born), Sheila Vand (from A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night), Toby Huss (from The Invitation) and Jeremy Allen White.

Vampyr (1932)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.

‘Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight’: Much More Than an Intriguing Title
I’ll admit it: I chose to review this movie merely because of its title. Now, I have done this before, and afterward regretted my choice (The Binding, for example). But this time, I was a lot luckier! Many are dubbing Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight Poland’s first slasher movie; I even think this is the first Polish horror movie I have ever seen. And if the Polish want to make more movies such as this one, I am all for it. Although not a masterpiece, Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight is certainly fun to watch.
