Still ploughing through the Video Nasties .. Def Guide.

Came across the video company "inserts". As I grew up during the pre-cert era, I am ashamed how many I didn't remember! But those I did remember brought a warm feeling inside. Nice indeed.

After avoiding all the reviews & even the trailer (so I could watch with a complete open mind & no preconceptions), I got home from work last night & watched A Serbian Film.

[Inspector Tanzi]

LADY ASSASSIN- No wonder this one sold out really quick, great stuff, near enough non-stop row!

Shogun's Sadism (aka Oxen Split Torture), Angst (aka Fear), Irreversible and Haute Tension.

Shogun is two stories the first one a gruesome tale about a local warlord obsessed with torturing christians. At 40 minutes long, the death toll is surprisingly high and effects none too shabby. The second story is quite darkly funny and tells the story of a young chancer who works to pay off his debts to a whore house. Good flick - apparently the second story features re-incarnated character from the first.

Angst is the story of an inept but enthusiastic killer. I actually found this movie quite funny - very little dialogue except for the inner thoughts of the protagonist. Not much gore and low tension but most definitely twisted.

High Tension - well you've probably all seen it already. That Marie looks like a bit of a dyke and do they know how hackneyed 'Switchblade Romance' is as a title? The twist was hackneyed too .... last resort selection.

'Irreversible' - loved it! Highly recommended. Don't be put off by giddy camera work, vomit inducing hum reviews. This is a great film and because the story runs in reverse, you might find the end surprisingly uplifting.

I thought Haute Tension was a great film when I first saw it and still do. As for Cécile de France well... I would!

Errrr can't really remember Nos, just remember it didn't quite sit right. It seemed like the director didn't really know how to end the movie to me!

Not even in the slightest for me! Actually makes it even more depressing to see how happy they were just a little while earier.
