Last night some handy insomnia meant I got the chance to see:
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things: last time I saw this if was on a dreadful multi-generation VHS copy so VCI's "35th Anniversary Exhumed Edition" was a revelation! Loved it more than ever and spotted for the first time just what a huge influence this must have been on Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead.
Deep End: I have wanted to see this for years primarily because my all-time favourite song was composed for the soundtrack. Yet, this conversely put me off watching it once I had it in case I was disappointed. Well, I wasn't. It's a small masterpiece. An utterly wonderful film with which I fell in love. However, I watched a copy of the dreadful old UK VHS release which was taken from a jumpy, damaged 4:3 print. So the BFI Blu-Ray is an essential purchase for me as soon as I can afford it!
