I don't think there's anything closet about it. He's been interviewed for the new BU Zombie release.

Kroenen is in the comics, yeah. He's not full of dust though, he was just a Nazi scientist who got all kinds of messed up, hence the get up, as far as I can remember!

Talking of Nazis, I just watched "The Devil's rock". Thought it was pretty good. In the vein of "The outpost" and "The bunker". The Demon was pretty cool and there was enough gore to keep me happy.

Just seen Chromeskull: Laid To Rest 2

Was a pretty good sequel to the very good Laid to rest.
Its not as good as the first but still entertaining and had some really kool kills and gore.
It had some trouble with the MPAA and I can tell from one or two scenes why
I remember the first movie getting a NC17!

What was wrong with the ending?

I don't think he was overly wooden, it's just that his character was pretty two-dimensional when compared to those played by Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons and Burt Ives.

Just seen Erasherhead: Wacky, weird wonderful with some of the most disturbing imagery I've ever seen. It's probably my favorite Lynch film now, Blue Velvet as a not too distant second.

Watched the Shameless BD of Cannibal Holocaust today, looked absolutely stunning and as I posted elsewhere earlier, the muskrat edit is hardly noticeable. Followed it with Shamelesses DVD of Phantom of Death, bit slow at the start but I thoroughly enjoyed it, a fairly decent thriller with good performances and some really well shot set pieces.
The postman brought me the BD of the Friday the 13th remake from Lovefilm today so I think I'll give that a watch tomorrow, not expecting much from it but I still want to watch it to make my own opinions on what I'm told is a load of crap.
