IT



IT (2017) - in which a New England town gets fucked up by a dancing clown, and kids save the day. Billie loses his favorite brother to a creepy clown in a sewer, and his parents are not helping him mourn about it. To be fair, the clown was very convincing, and looked like he knew how to juggle, if that's important to you. Okay, so, Pennywise the Dancing Clown starts terrorizing all the outcast and weak children he can find, and honestly, he is doing a decent job, because he has eaten a bunch of kids by the time our story picks up almost a year later. But, turns out, the kids he's targeting have each other, so they are less vulnerable than the Bettys and Georgies that he's already got.
  The crew of kids acquires a girl to the group, Bev gets her period, becomes a woman, and gets the courage to stand up to her pedophile father and fight back the next time he tries to rape her. You go, girl! It seems likely that her ability to stand up to a real monster renders her able to stand up to the monster Pennywise, and when he corners her, she stands up to his grinning face! The boys go all out to try to save Bev, and I cannot describe how awesome the final fight scene is. I'm just gonna go watch it again! Pennywise is so big and scary and his voice is bananas! Four nights of nightmares!

Death Wish

Death Wish (1974) - in which the justice system fails a man who lost his family, and he goes off the rails in finding personal justice. I mean vengeance. Charles Bronson plays Paul Kersey, a husband and father and architect, who has a nice NYC life. One day, near the beginning of the movie, Paul's wife is murdered and his daughter is raped into a catatonic state, from which she will not likely recover. Sexist. Anyways, Paul is destroyed, so his boss sends him out to New Mexico, or another lawless state, for a 3 month long project. Paul does some recovering while he is out there, and is befriended by his big money client, with a big hat and big guns. Upon arriving back in NYC, Paul is disheartened to find his daughter in terrible condition, and his son-in-law coping poorly. There have also been no arrests in his wife's murder, as the police are very busy with a crime spree related to gang violence. Paul is a really sympathetic guy, and his pain is visible, and very real. So,...

Raw

Raw - in which France has the grossest veterinary school imaginable, and vegetarianism is the thinking woman's solution to the broken Greek system. Some skinny girl goes to the same veterinary school her older sister is currently attending, and her bitch sister doesn't even help her move in to the dorm she is sharing with a guy. Albeit a gay guy, but I'm assuming not all of the men in this coed dorm are gay. The first night the hazing begins, the freshmen are herded out of their rooms by threat of violence, and all of their mattresses are thrown onto the front lawn. It takes a surreal turn into gross-cinema discomfort at the rave they are all taken to and our tiny protagonist runs into her mean sister and is peer pressured into taking some club drugs. Things are just starting to get weird. Some kind of creepy things are happening, but it mostly just reminds me of the lonely horror of my college experience, except I wasn't peer pressured into eating a rabbit kidney, ...
