I am seriously considering starting a satire thread on RYM. Those guys are real nuts sometimes. Entry for this movie would be:

In This Corner of the World, set in Japan, primarily during the final years of World War 2, featuring characters constantly under threat of air raids, deals with the unimagining hardship that innocent people went through during that time including families being ripped apart (right up to the loss of a child due to an unexploded bomb) and climaxes with the dropping of the atomic bombs Hiroshima and Nagasaki and their aftermath on the characters.

RYM (in full genre police regalia blowing a whistle and pointing an accusatory finger): This is not a war film. 

great creepy atmosphere 

I thought that Hereditary was better on the second watch but Midsommar dragged out a little, but I do have the near three hour long directors cut version of it. 

New films seen:

A lesser giallo. It's biggest issue is that it reveals the killer before even half way into the movie, which destroys all the mystery. It still had a twist to come, but this is far below the usual grade for the genre.

Better than some claim it to be, felt a bit Hitchcockian to me and in some ways could be seen as exploring ideas similar to Rope. 

This rather well known Yakuza movie was surprising, in that after a while much of the film devolves into the gangsters just goofing around at the beach. It was good, just not as expected. But that may be why its good. 

Some of this lot, The Girl Who Knew Too Much especially, are technically giallo rather than horror, but they have some ties to the genre to fit the Halloween marathon I've got going on.
