Image
Title: Call The Nurse and No Country for Squared Heads Year: 2025 Starring: Emma Rosie, Aria Sloane, Hailey Rose, Kylie Rocket Director: Romero Synopsis: Unbeknownst to Emma, a cataclysmic event is taking place. In her attempt to leave the hospital, Emma encounters the very monsters that have tried to claw their way into her room. A group of mutated nurses chase after Emma, dragging the injured woman into an empty room and subjecting her to their sadistic idea of nursing. Hailey and Kylie are trapped within a hospital, running from a dangerous slasher (Aria). In an effort to hide Hailey, Kylie convinces her to submerge herself in a tank of liquid nitrogen whilst she causes a distraction. However, the enraged slasher closes the tank, trapping Hailey inside as she succumbs to the liquid.

Irreversible - Lilith Likes to Watch

Image
Title: Irreversible Year: 2002 Starring: Vincent Cassel, Albert Dupontel, Monica Bellucci Director: Gaspar Noé Synopsis: A woman’s lover and her ex-boyfriend take justice into their own hands after she becomes the victim of a rapist. Because some acts can’t be undone. Because man is an animal. Because the desire for vengeance is a natural impulse. Because most crimes remain unpunished. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: I was having a nice week until this happened. Watch Now: Amazon "There are no bad deeds, only deeds." This week, I was afforded a little staycation, which I welcomed with open arms. I was reckless, staying up until 4am playing video games and watching Youtube, subsisting on sugary snacks and prepackaged food. In this moment of hedonistic, damn-the-consequences existence, Kage and I decided to destroy our souls a little. For a treat. We watched Irreversible . You know what this movie is. We all know what it is. It’s Gaspar Noé at his Gaspar Noé-...

Title: The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed Year: 2023 Starring: Joanna Arnow, Scott Cohen, Babak Tafti Director: Joanna Arnow Synopsis: A mosaic-style comedy following the life of a woman as time passes in her long-term casual BDSM relationship, low-level corporate job, and quarrelsome Jewish family. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: I thought this would be much funnier and enlightening. Watch Now: Amazon "In theory I like it, but in practice I might need aftercare." Welcome back to a fresh new year of Lilith Likes to Watch. Looking around, it seems that so far, 2026 is just second verse, same as the first. Probably even more dire. Great. Maybe we should try and start this year of reviews with something fun, snarky and perhaps uplifting? Too bad that isn’t what we have on the docket for tonight. Instead of fun we have something else… We have twee. My goodness how I hate twee. Now, I suppose twee can be defined in many different ways....

Dream Story aka Traumnovelle - Lilith Likes to Watch

Image
Title: Dream Story aka Traumnovelle Year: 2024 Starring: Nikolai Kinski, Nora Islei Director: Florian Frerichs Synopsis: After his wife confesses to having sexual fantasies about another man, a revered doctor becomes intrigued by a secret sex ‘ball’ attended by some of the city’s most prominent. Disguising himself in a cloak and mask, he sneaks in, despite warnings that attending could destroy his life. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: It takes guts to touch Kubrick's final work, I'll give it that. Watch Now: Youtube | Apple | Google "Because if it's nothing more than desire, it's not real." Imagine being a film maker. Imagine being confident and daring enough to decide you want to remake a classic film that, while not everyone has seen, everyone has most definitely heard of. The film is notorious, and brought to screen over 25 years ago by one of the most well known and visionary directors who have ever lived. And what if it was his final pie...

Rush of the Forbidden - Lilith Likes to Watch

Title: Rush of the Forbidden Year: 2014 Starring: Clarke Kent, Samia Duarte Director: Erika Lust Synopsis: A man and a woman have a secret rendezvous in a forest near the camping site where they both spend their holidays with their partners. Time is short, they don't even speak the same language, but desire is overwhelming... - via XConfessions.com Lilith's Notes: I expected something different than what I got. I guess that's on me. Buy: XConfessions.com | PinkLabel.tv This is going to be a very quick review because I have very little to say. Maybe I set myself up for disappointment early because with that title and that box art, Kage and I thought we were in for some public water sports fun. But no, the rush we’re talking about is a quickie before the two forbidden fuckers get caught. This is nothing special. It’s sex, in the woods. We’ve seen it plenty of times because it’s cheap to film in a forest and you don’t need as many permits. This wasn’t for me. It wa...

The Breeding - Lilith Likes to Watch Monster Lover May

Image
Title: The Breeding Year: 2017 Starring: Dolly Leigh, Ingrid Mouth, Lumpy The Monster Director: Ingrid Mouth Synopsis: Best friends Ingrid and Dolly take a detour into an abandoned building on their way home, never expecting the gut wrenching terror that waits for them inside. Although seemingly just a make out spot for disenfranchised troublemakers, the building has been inhabited by something dark, drooling, and sinister. Something covered in tentacles, and dripping strange, pungent aphrodisiac fluids from the walls and ceilings, which lure it's sapphic prey to their ultimate pleasure, before their eventual doom. - via PinkLabel.tv Lilith's Notes: It's time once again for Monster Lover May! Buy: PinkLabel.tv "I think we should leave right now." Like a porn parody Doctor Frankenstein I throw my head back and I scream yes, YES! Because it’s once again time for Monster Lover May where we explore the crevices of every dirty monster movie we can find. Aren’t...

Title: Underneath Their Nylon Leotards Year: 2018 Starring: Kaya Lin, Viktor Belmont Director: Maximus Skaff Synopsis: Kaya is a professional ballerina from the upper east side and she is on the edge of her career. But lately something has been throwing her off balance, it is hard to stay focused on your pirouettes when you can't keep your eyes off your colleague in his nylon leotard... - via XConfessions Lilith's Notes: Let's do one final Confession before the end of the month. Buy: XConfession | PinkLable.tv "What if I lose my balance?" Sorry, sorry, last night was the Canadian election and I had to go vote, then I was glued to the TV watching the results. Given the situation we’re all in, this election was very important. As a consequence, this review is a little late and a little short. We end April with one final XConfession offering: Underneath Their Nylon Leotards. A lady ballerina (played by Kaya Lin) internally monologues about her own self-d...

Title: Eyes Wide Shut Year: 1999 Starring: Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise Director: Stanley Kubrick Synopsis:  After Dr. Bill Harford’s wife, Alice, admits to having sexual fantasies about a man she met, Bill becomes obsessed with having a sexual encounter. He discovers an underground sexual group and attends one of their meetings – and quickly discovers that he is in over his head. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: I've tried to watch this movie four times. I was successful only twice. Buy: Amazon   "Fidelio" Many things came together to make this review a reality. A few months back I got into a discussion on Bluesky about whether or not Eyes Wide Shut is a good movie. It’s going to be on Criterion Channel, so of course it’s good, right? It’s not like I haven’t previously established that we here at Lilith Likes to Watch don’t think the Big CC is necessarily a mark of entertainment, just art and beauty. Art is subjective, and just because you or I do not like so...
