Last week's viewings:
Night School (1981)
Reminiscent of a giallo in it's aesthetic in many ways,
Night School is a who-dunnit cum slasher as co-eds are being found decapitated at the hands (and blade) of a mysterious black-clad biker.
Good kill-y fun.
71/100 Body Snatchers (1993)
Ferrara's take on the infamous tale, and whilst not quite as good as either the '56 or the '78 versions I really like the claustrophobic dread that this one exhibits with it being confined to the military base for the bulk of the run-time.
79/100 The Hidden (1987)
This one has it all - an asshole Ferrari loving alien bug inhabiting and using human bodies, car chases, shoot-outs, strip clubs, Kyle MacLachlan's first dangerous step towards being typecast forever as an FBI agent, and a flamethrower.
One of my favourite fun, feel-good '80s films.
82/100 The Editor (2014)
Stylish, glossy giallo-inspired comedy that hit a lot of the right targets for me. Parodies / homages can often feel a little clunky or heavy-handed, but this for the most part was very good.
73/100 The Legacy (1978)
Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross star as architects brought to a secluded estate by an eccentric millionaire after a road accident. They and other guests become trapped, leading to a series of grisly deaths with supernatural undertones.
Whilst stretching the seams of the story at times, this is a pretty entertaining and mysterious little chiller with a decent ensemble cast.
71/100 The Dark Crystal (1982)
A nostalgia trip back to my childhood when I used to watch this all the time with my brother. A little of the charm is lost with age (mine, not the film's), but this was an enjoyable slice of Saturday afternoon entertainment.
71/100 Labyrinth (1986)
Another childhood fave, but one whose charm hasn't been diminished on me over time. Perfect lazy Sunday afternoon entertainment.
