Does sound really good this (reviews are positive too).
Too late for me the other evening (I’d just watched that Mark Gatiss doc) so will catch up.

If you’ve not seen the American horror story series it’s pretty good, different story each season

some pretty fucked up stuff at times

 

[dublinblue12]

Might rewatch the CL final

 

[everythingchangesbutblue]

Thought The Babadook was absolute shite tbh. For people who watch 1 horror film a year so don't realise it's been done countless times before but less po faced. Been making my way through my Friday the 13th and Elm Street blu ray boxsets. Pure 80s cheesy class.
