BLOODY NEW YEAR
A group of 80s style young ’uns end up stranded on an island, where they end up getting stuck in a time warp and harassed by zombies, bizarre creatures and ghostly figures.
The whole thing is completely daft, but I really enjoyed this one, as did most of the cast judging by the accompanying interviews. Director Norman J Warren comes across as such a likeable guy, and it’s fantastic to have a whole Blu Ray boxset devoted to his work.
TRACK 29
A young man arrives in America, in an attempt to track down his mother, who he claims abandoned him years ago.
Obviously with a combination of writer Dennis Potter and director Nic Roeg, you’re not going to get a straightforward narrative here and indeed the whole thing has a what is real / what is not real vibe running through it. Obviously, nothing is properly explained and the whole thing is left for the viewer to decide. Oh and do watch right through to the end of the credits. Lovely looking release as ever from Indicator.
