Movies watched, loved, feared and argued about.
PLACEHOLDER TEXT — replace in includes/wards.php
Movie night at the asylum is mandatory, and the projector has never once been switched off. Here are reviews, rankings, rewatch confessions and the films that keep me up.
The picks below are placeholders to show the layout. Real reviews will replace them.
Screening Schedule (placeholder picks)
PLACEHOLDER Made-up filler to show the layout.
-
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
Rating: 5 straitjackets
The grandfather of the genre, and the original asylum twist. Crooked sets, perfect nightmare.
-
Nosferatu (1922)
Rating: 5 shadows on the stairs
Still the best long, creeping walk toward a bedroom door in cinema.
-
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
Rating: 5 tranquilizers
The ward as a society. Funny until it very much is not.
-
Session 9 (2001)
Rating: 4 dust clouds
A real abandoned asylum doing most of the acting. It is very good at it.
Case Notes

Rewatch Confession: Movies I Pretend I Have Not Seen Fifteen Times
Admitted. Several. The list is long and my cat has seen me cry at at least two of them.
