Trick or Treat (1986)
One of those memorable films from my 80's youth. Just as memorable for that sexy in car attack on a girl as it is the excellent
Fastway soundtrack and Blackie Lawless like rocker Sammi Curr who comes back from the dead via the power of rock and roll.
Among the Living (Aux yeux des vivants) (2014)
Cult horror directors of
Inside and
Livid, Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, come up with another noteworthy film of modern horror.
Harking back to classic Stephen King in which the main protagonists are three teenage boys who explore an abandoned film studio on the outskirts of their French town. To say more would spoil the enjoyment of those who haven't seen the film.
Maury and Bustillo ensure the film is swathed in dark tension even though it did threaten to lag around the half way mark but it quickly escalates again towards the finale as we are treated to one or two cracking gore effects amid some quite disturbing scenes of strong violence.
A film i'd never seen before, the opening ten seconds qualify it as a Halloween horror.
