Among the films I've recently seen are: Despicable Me, an entertaining and engaging animated comedy which isn't up there with the best of Pixar, but is still very good. Nightmares Come at Night, which is an unremarkable and fairly forgettable horror film by Jess Franco, though one which holds the attention if only due to the naked flesh on show! The Conversation is occasionally overlooked when people look at films by Francis Ford Coppola, but I think it's his third best film, inferior only to The Godfather and The Godfather Part II. Scream, Scream 2 & Scream 3, which I watched all in one evening and, during the triple bill, I ordered Scream 4, which arrived today. I think the first is a remarkable movie which, on first viewing, engaged, scared and entertained me and, apart from the jumps having less impact on each viewing – this goes for each film – it has aged very well and heightened my interest in slasher films. The sequels aren't as good as the first film, but they are still well written, acted and directed. Hitch-Hike is the first film starring David Hess I've seen since his death and it is a terrific thriller with the main man putting in a fine performance and with a suitably downbeat ending. Zombie Flesh Eaters, a title I much prefer to the one on the BD (Zombie) and is a film which never ceases to entertain and, though it isn't as good as the films in Romero's original zombie trilogy, stays faithful to the zombie's voodoo roots and, with a shark fighting a zombie, what's not to like?! The Return of the Living Dead is one of the great zombie-comedies – watched for the Cult Labs Film Night – and is another film which doesn't suffer from repeated viewings, with good laughs, fine score effects and some moments to make those less attuned to horror films jump. Aenigma is one of the few Lucio Fulci films I haven't (now hadn't) seen and is far from its best, but the concept is a fascinating one. It's just a shame the (if you pardon the pun) execution isn't better. Deep Red, along with Suspiria, is my favourite Dario Argento film and the finest giallo ever made.

Watched it on Sunday night. Just the same as all the rest - dire. Have film makers never seen the Haunting? a classic film of terror where crap cgi doesn't exist. It had potential but failed on nearly every level. mark meakin and bizarre_eye@Cult Labs like this. |

I recommend Fragile as a decent ghost story though.

 , sadly the AB box set doesn't have commentaries on it so I'll leave it to others for commentaries, if Shameless were to pick up a Franco release it be nice to get good ol' Jesus to add some extra goodies.
