Voyagers 6-7/10
Lord of the Flies in space. It was good up until the 50 minutes mark, then it turned a bit implausible. But an entertaining watch nevertheless.

I wasn't expecting much and that's kind of what I felt like I got. Nothing really new to add to the genre. I called everything in the storyline before it happened. It didn't feel like a total waste of time but I wasn't entertained the entire film either so maybe a 5/10 or simply put, it was "Ok".

Suspiria (2018)
Finally got around to watching this one. I have been hesitant just because of my love of the original but I finally talked myself into watching it. I predicted the ending after the first time Susie started dancing for the leading role in front of Mother Blanc which was fine. Makeup effects were enjoyable and kudos to Tilda Swinton for playing 2 main parts, as well as a minor 3rd part in the reveal of Mother Markos during the ending. I didn't know she was playing the extra parts until looking up the film on Wikipedia. I feel I know what the director was going for but I think he ultimately fell short of creating a masterwork. I understand the setting and the events of 1977 in Germany but ultimately it seemed to confuse and slow down the plot in a way that didn't feel necessary. I enjoyed that there was more focus on the actual dancing in the school than the original film and how it worked into some of the other scenes. It was really a slow pot boiler which was fine with me. It in some ways reminded me of "The Witch (2015)" that I watched a few months ago as far as the tempo aspect but not as well complete as a whole vision. In the end I guess I would probably give it a 6/10. Maybe a 7/10 if I was feeling generous as some of the performances were really strong but I can't overlook what I feel were some of the other flaws that could have been done differently to make the film just a touch more cohesive and enjoyable in my book.
