This is one of those posts mostly rambling about various things.
We finished Hell Motel! Yay! Overall the series was pretty good, though there were a few times it felt like people died too close together. But I did like the first episode twist and it was a bold choice to finish on an ep so disconnected from the rest of the series.
It has made me curious about Slasher, so I might start it over spooky season and make it a weekly thing (with an ep or two) though we’ll see.
Yesterday was a lazy kinda day. It was mostly spent watching Murder She Wrote, then half watching Strictly while watching Seapeekay compete in twitch rivals. That was ok though early strictly is immensely long, though I did enjoy a few of the dances.
Then I watched Nine Bodies In A Mexican Morgue, which was pretty good. It’s about a plane that’s crashed in the Mexican jungle (or forest?) however among the survivors is a killer. And clearly a successful one as, when the plane is found 8 days later there’s 9 bodies of the 10 people on the plane. Who it is and why is gonna be the central mystery. It is funny though, it has the presenter of pottery throw down only she’s doing an American accent and it throws me off so hard.
I’m curious to see how it plays out and it seems mum is too.
On Friday a new film came to shudder, House On Eden. I didn’t watch it release day but did watch it last night. Thoughts under the cut.

Today I watched the next episode of Wednesday and yesss YESSSS it had Tyler shirtless and collared and chained. Thank you whoever decided to have him like that that was hot. A+ work I hope you get a raise.
The ep is mostly a great one not just cause of that. Christopher Lloyd’s cameo role is nice and it addresses one issue I had with season 1 the lack of other teachers. I really hate the new principle. Like wanting Bianca to use her powers and threatening her if she says no? That’s such dickish behaviour.
I do feel another issue from season 1 is gonna raise its head. It’s clear from this ep that Morticia is gonna be around a lot more this season as she’s moved into a cottage on campus. Already I feel unconvinced this will sell us on Catherine Zeta Jones’ performance of her. (However I do love Pugsley’s vibes)
There is also Wednesday’s stalker which uses Saw Like ‘do you want to play a game’type messages. And her chemistry with Enid is unmatched. If only they weren’t cowards and made them a couple. (And I love Enid’s friendship with Thing)
Finally I watched The Savages, after having the blu ray sitting there since it came out and that was…. *checks* March 27th. Damn.
I think I held off cause of the last season plus this is a first Doctor one . Thankfully it is a four parter which is good, because the longer ones are such a slog. Unfortunately the essence of the ep, two groups of people on a planet one exploiting the other, has been done better. The how is an interesting take though, with the essence of the ‘savages’ being used to enrich the elite.
It is just a bit of a talky one, though the animation does make things look nice. Also it is the last ep for Steven and his ending is such an odd one. He essentially get volunteered to stay and it felt he had no real say in it.
Overall it was better than I expected but I as I wasn’t expecting much…
Though it was funny the doctor had a device and he called it a ‘reacting vibrator’.
Tomorrow I’ve got a call which… ugh. I hate the calls they’re needlessly stressful. Since I’m not going to the mystery film I might watch the Stranger Things season 4 finale, but knowing me I won’t.
Then it’s the start of spooky season, deciding if I’ll try kinktober and a cinema trip I’ve still not settled on.
