Pearce’s Film Reviews

220 Films have been rated or reviewed by Pearce.

Fall (2022): Very by–the–numbers but the most vertiginous movie I've seen. I HATE heights.
In Fabric (2018): When it comes to horror movies about a red dress there's this and I'm Dangerous Tonight. That one's bad. This one is great.
Suspiria (2018): I thought that a remake of my favourite horror movie was guaranteed to be rubbish because the original was purely about style and not story but you know, this was aight
Seance (2000): If you expect this to turn out the same as the eariler movie, you're in for a rough ride.
Paprika (2006): You can't convince me that Christoper Nolan didn't see this before making Inception.
Paranoia Agent (TV Series) (Mousou dairinin) (2004): Some episodes play like deleted scenes from director Satoshi Kon's earlier work, but there's a dazzling array of ideas in here.
Videodrome (1983): How does a movie about videotapes and cable TV remain so relevant in 2024? Extraordinary, genuinely visionary, featuring a career–best performance by James Woods. The New Flesh still seems new, even after many imitations (some by Cronenberg himself).
Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989): I think this was the first movie I ever rented from Aro, back in probably 1991. I've rewatched it every couple of years ever since.
A Snake of June (2002): Maybe the best film from one of Japan's noisiest filmmakers, this one actually makes room for real human emotion amidst the chaos.
Femme Fatale (2002): The big twist in this movie either makes or breaks it. I'm in favour. Antonio Banderas' character might be the stupidest guy in a neo noir since Peter Berg in The Last Seduction, though.
