It's not as good as Ringu or Ringu 2, mainly because Hideo nakata is a great filmmaker who knew what changes the story needed to work on the screen. That said its still an interesting watch.

Evil Dead Trap.

Cut in the UK, Evil Dead trap is an 80's made for video shocker made to cash in on the brutal horrors coming from America. A film crew head out to an abandoned building out in the middle of nowhere investigating an alleged 'snuff' tape. It's fairly nasty and has some rape and gore in it. That said if you can stomach it its not bad and certainly not as nasty as some more modern horrors.

UZUMAKI. (the Vortex)

Based on the gloriously twisted manga by Junji Ito the film actually does a decent job of translating his weird vision to the screen. While its hard to imagine anyone nailing Ito's work in Live action this is the closest i've seen. It follows a small town where people become obsessed with spirals and goes full body horror as the townsfolk actually start to become their obsession. Its probably my personal favorite on the set.
Thanks sounds interesting

Great pickup! Uzumaki and Evil Dead Trap are two of my favourite movies in my collection! Never got around to checking out Spiral though.

I kinda regret not grabbing it when I picked the original up, I'll have to check it out sometime.

Not much of interest today, but I did find this double in CEX for £1.50 (couple of nice docs on there as well.)

Is there no UK blu release yet?
There's an Aussie one, available from JB HiFi online. Or, I'd be happy to pick up a few copies and post them over to the UK.

It's an excellent film. Mad as a bag of testicles.
