Netflix recs?

Switching back to true crime doc for a bit.

Starting this new docu series on Hulu called “Never Let him Go”.

It’s set in late 1980s about an American Phd student who travelled to Australia to be with his Aussie gay partner and ended up dead at the bottom of a Sydney cliffs edge. (The suburb he died at is aptly named “Manly”, coincidence?)

At the time police called it a suicide and quickly closed the case, leaving his American family trying to find answers by themselves.

And of course the Aussie police did everything possible to cover it up and not take action.

Don’t let a loved one move to Australia guys, it’s just not worth it.

Just finished this.

Man, I don’t know who’s worse, the Aussie piece of **** who killed the young American, or the local constable that closed the case after a week’s worth of investigation, or the female Aussie detective that did everything in her power to ensure the family doesn’t get justice, or the Australian justice system that took 3 official enquiries to lead to justice after 30 years.

The level of discrimination, incompetence and hatred towards the victim’s family is astounding.

Personally there is no way I would ever set foot in Australia after seeing what goes on there.

No way.
 
Watched a horror movie called Bring Her Back. Its a must see if you are a horror movie fan. It is quite insane. Starts off with a bang. First 3 minutes or so are crazy and it just gets crazier and crazier.

Is it like psychological horror or blood and gore or monster?

Trailers weren’t an art form 40 years ago. It’s a fairly acclaimed film.

Roger Ebert gave it 3.5 stars.

I just have a hard time watching most movies that are that old. But man was it a bad trailer.

Both. Its about bringing someone back from the dead and the ritual used to do it. Very original way to bring someone back and very very disgusting and gory and creepy and insane.
Watch it at your own risk. There were scenes that were hard to watch. My wife literally couldn't watch some of the scenes.
 
I know some people hate rotten tomatoes but Weapons comes out today and is currently at a 95% with 98 critic reviews in. Many of them are quite glowing reviews. Im excited for this one.

I'll check it out without the wife. She does not go in for gratuitous gore. She likes horror movies more like The Conjuring.
