🇿🇦 I am a South African. And I think we’re kinda fucking great. Sorry, but this is factual. I live in an underrated country. Here’s a thread of why I feel this way.
Spoiler: you’re gonna hate some of these. 🇿🇦
Day 1 bonus: Maximum Overdrive (1986).
Fuck me 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it’s so bad it’s good. I actually love it. It’s someone screaming “Yo mamma” at a pinball machine for me 😂😂😂😂 The machines are gonna kill us all ❤️ Also, AC/DC did the soundtrack so 🤷♀️
Took Raph to the hairdresser earlier. Francois is our person. One of the other hairdressers proudly announced that Raph is François’s favourite client that he talks about all the time.
Proud parenting moment.
Also, my kid is funny AF so I don’t blame him.
Day 1: The Shining (1980).
A classic is a classic for a reason. There’s something for everyone. Axes. Alcoholism. Twins. Carpet patterns. A feeling of sadness for Shelley Duvall. Frozen people. Tony fingers Danny. An elevator coughs on the second day of its period.
Perfection.
Yeah, fuck it. I had such a good month of horror films, I’ve decided to just do @StephenKing adaptations this month.
Let the fun continue ❤️ (until The Green Mile and then it’s not fun, it’s just tears and snot)

Have we spoken about the newly released Derry episode about a child’s turtle fever dream yet?
10/10.
Would recommend ❤️
Day 31: Paranormal Activity (2007).
I did it. I completed the list. I’m still sleeping fine. I still love horrors.
PA was great for its time. The franchise has ruined it for me. But isolated, it was a super fun film.
But also, Micah, she said NO to ouija boards. Red flag. 🚩
Tis my last day of horror movie watching 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Nah I’m just fucking with you. I’m totally carrying on with this shit. Horror movies are the best. I’m gonna make a new list.
Happy Halloween, you filthy animals ❤️
Day 30: V/H/S/ Halloween (2025).
It’s an anthology. Some good bits. Some bad. But I have never been less interested in the survival of characters 😂 I dunno, maybe because I’m coming off some compelling storylines? I want to watch something else.
Suggestions welcomed!
Forever my King Richard 💔💔💔💔 like the fact that this talented, serious man was like, “yes please, I’ll cameo for Mel Brooks”. That speaks volumes of his character. What a human. What a legend.
Question: do you guys actually like me doing movie review things? Because I kinda want to keep it up 🤷♀️
Day 29: The First Omen (2024).
This was way better than I thought it was going to be. Like there was actual story value. Not just some prequel nonsense. The cast is fucking great and the kills (and other stuff) are brutal.
I loved nun of it.
(See what I did there?)
Bonus watch! Day 28 pt 2: What Lies Beneath (2000).
The previous film made me think of this. Harrison Ford was a DICK 😂😂 I love it ❤️❤️❤️ tell me you didn’t want that necklace as a teen?
2000s horror had its moments.
I would like to take a moment to talk about the craft involved in this piece of framing.
Sensational work.
The Night House has probably been my fave new find on my October list.
And yes. It moves.
Day 28: The Night House (2020).
Ok firstly, the house in question is EXQUISITE (you know, minus the ghosts and death and shit). Never heard of this one. Went in blind. This was an awesome new watch. Creepy. Psychological. Nice house.
I’d marry this movie’s tinder profile.
Hear me out. I always get the initial scare of a spider. But then we’re cool. And now kiddo and I are very attached to this spider, which we have named “Big One”. But I think it’s fucking cute how they curl up to sleep. They sleep like people, with one foot out of the blanket 🥹
Ah fuck. There’s gonna be a Petzer video about this tomorrow, isn’t there? ❤️🇿🇦❤️
HE DID IT! 🇿🇦
Thomas van Tonder is a world record holder.
🏆 He conquered 600 monkey bars beneath the iconic Bloukrans Bridge, putting South Africa’s world-class adventure destination in the global spotlight.
SO @RedBullZA who made it happen.
