The Witch was really good. The Lighthouse was fantastic. Now here completes the debut trilogy with yet again a different genre. Most challenging is making a film over 2hrs in length engaging, and it kind of trips up a bit here where the pacing runs of puff. Starts off brilliant with ritual and murder before settling into become a brooding revenge thriller. It does offer some great scenes later on, this is my favourite Nicole Kidman movie, and others delivery a strong performance too. Shorter would've been better.

Lol, I'm just here to see Donald Cerrone's acting skills. He was better than expected, as was the whole film. Not quite the level of drama of a HBO series or the dialogue of a Tarantino film but an enjoyable story with good pacing and a fair bit blood spraying around. Nick Searcy's performance was the most enjoyable. Being set not long after the civil war, I'm not sure if it's technically a western. So there's my bias review, probably be 5/10 without Cerrone, it's better than real low budget garbage I watched during lockdown.

Season 1 was 10/10. Recommendable to anyone, not just sci-fi nerds. Season 2 I'd say 6/10. It was just too weird. I like weird, but it was a constant "where are they going with this" weird. It went from a show everyone could enjoy to avantgarde sci-fi. Huge shame as we need another season to explain what went on in season 2. Probably too ambitious in its depth of what was occurring.
