Pearce’s Film Reviews
224 Films have been rated or reviewed by Pearce.
Giant Behemoth, The (Behemoth the Sea Monster) (1959)
As opposed to a small behemoth?
Perfect Blue (1997)
Don't watch it after dropping acid.
Godzilla (Gojira) (1954)
Despite endless much more whimiscal sequels, this still works as an ellegory for nuclear destruction. The fact that the filmmakers witnessed the devastation first hand no doubt helped. The FX are actually better than in many of the subsequent films.
Halloween H20 (1998)
Not a great movie, but it compares well to the 2018 reboot which for some reason got raves despite just being a retread of this one.
Halloween (2018)- What on Earth happened to David Gordon Green? He used to be such an interesting filmmaker but now he seems content to tread water with dumb comedies and horror retreads. This is just the 7th Halloween movie repeated.
Z (1968)- This movie made me angry in the best way, and it's sadly still relevant to the modern world.
Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship & Videotape (2010)- If you're not squeamish, this is a must–see documentary about so much more than the titular subject that packs an incredible amount into a short running time.
One Cut of the Dead (Kamera wo tomeruna!) (2017)- Don't read anything about this movie before watching it, and don't turn it off if you think it's bad – keep giving it a chance.
I'm Your Man (2021)- Maybe my favourite movie of 2021, this was funnier and more charming than I expected while actually mining new material from the well–worn premise of "what's the difference between human and machine?"
- DVD $29.95
Raw (Grave) (2016)- A compelling central performance, masterful command of style & pacing and superb horror setpieces mark this as one of the best takes on the vampire story in years.
