watched jagged mind (2023) tonight

ltbxd: Hooptober 10/31- 3 films starring a Black woman

There are a few editing choices early on (just like a ton of little musical montages) that irritated me but I was definitely enjoying it by the middle! Time loops and interpersonal abuse can pair for really intense stories and I think this utilized the combination well, there wasn't really a point for me of Not being really on edge about Billy's romances

addition: it's honestly a little rocky but that's ok. 100 more mid lesbian psychological thrillers that don't go into some of the more interesting conflicts now!!!

Hooptober X

For those of you who use Letterboxd (or who just want something semi-structured to distract you for at least 31 days), Hooptober is on again--31 Horror movies in 31 days, initiated originally by Cinemonster. It is a challenge sort of deal, and I have transferred-over the list criteria from their updated post below. Click-into the link to Cinemonster's list description on Letterboxd to retrieve the Screambox link for a complimentary channel trial. I am starting early, as well, since I have a lot on my plate. Plus I get to start my Halloween celebration early. Again.

Here's the list:

"There must be 31 films 6 countries 8 decades 2 post apocalyptic or natural disaster related films

1 film with Robert Englund 1 something is underground film 3 Satan/Devil centered films 1 Amicus film. The worst Dracula film (by Letterboxd rating) that you haven't seen and can access. 1 LGBTQ+ connected film 5 Films from De Palma, Wes Craven, Ken Russell, Hitchcock and/or Moorehead & Benson. 2 Peter Cushing films 1 film based on a work of or invoking the name Bram Stoker 1 film based on a Clive Barker story 1 film that was released the year that you turned 10 1 Mario Bava film. 1 film with an 'x' in the title 

And 1 Tobe Hooper Film (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)

***FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO DO EXTRA WORK: WATCH The Zodiac Killer and 10 Rillington Place. Like last year, there is a third film: Shaky Shivers."
