Superb thriller that surprisingly nails its ending. Maika Monroe is doing the 'woman in peril' role better than anyone around right now. Bucharest looks lovely, too!

I really fancy this, but just wondering how much of the dialogue is in Romanian? I think it's showing at a (reasonably) local cinema here, but it will be an original language version with Czech subtitles, meaning anything in Romanian won't be translated into English.

This thread says 75% of the film is in Romanian but is intentionally not subtitled, so you should be fine.

None of the Romanian dialogue in the film is translated or subtitled, it's quite an important part of the whole thing.

Of course, if they *do* subtitle the Romanian stuff then they're diluting the point of some of the story. Tell the Czechs to get a refund if that happens!

Lords of Chaos

Rory Culkin was a lot better than I expected him to be. I’ve never seen him in anything before so I don’t know why I had such low expectations of him. The movie was surprisingly graphic with its depictions of violence which threw me a bit. I didn’t mind it overall considering I'm not a big fan of biopics. Although the lad who played Varg was not convincing as a intimidating murderer. I couldn’t take him seriously at all as he just seemed like a wet nana’s kid the whole time, even when he was trying to be menacing.

I know, but in the movie he's supposed to be.

I didn’t get that from the movie to be honest, I thought they were just showing what tragic berks they are. Mind you, the guy playing Varg was the absolute spit of a mate of mine so that took me out of the film every time he was on screen.

Just watched the new All Quiet On The Western Front. I thought it was fantastic. Heart-breaking and stressful but fantastic. 

Saw this a couple of weekends ago and thought it was excellent. I'm glad I watched it on Netflix as I had to pause it a couple of times to gather myself enough to be able to continue watching. Brutal, relentless and very upsetting, but absolutely worth watching.
