Undertone, Vladimir, Gaslit by My Husband

Movie 1: Undertone

This independent supernatural horror film generally gets good reviews from national critics.  The horror is based much more on sounds and the viewers imagination than anything visual.  Two podcasters talk about eerie sounds they supposedly hear.  I assume we’d have liked it, and understood it, more if we both hadn’t enjoyed an afternoon nap.  Fortunately we woke up before it ended.  In theaters now and will stream on Max (formerly HBO Max) in a couple months.

Movie 2: Vladimir

This comedy/drama is an eight episode limited series on Netflix.  An intense relationship develops between two college professors with a large age gap between them.  Add in their spouses and you quickly realize none of them are in a traditional marriage.  We found the acting and situations interesting and kept our attention for each episode.  We watched it all in two days.  Rachel Weisz as the older professor is a hoot.

Movie 3: Gaslit by My Husband

This Netflix drama is based on true events and the life of Morgan Metzer who marries her high school sweetheart.  She is harassed, abused and manipulated by her psychotic husband.  A couple of twists and turns we didn’t see coming.
