What Films Have You Seen Recently?

I watched Irreversible last night:

started off really irritating, was good in the middle but went really boring at the end.

[Philleh]

Ha, the spinning effect at the start is a right ball-ache isn't it?

That's the biggest fllaw I pointed out when I reviewed it way back when, people aren't used to having such a ballistic opening act that fizzles out to an uneventful final third. But I think it works so well, it's the ultimate act of cinematic cruelty.

Got to hand it to Noe for having the balls to attempt something as daring. I think it's a modern classic.

Yes, and im not a calm person, i hurled the remote at the telly!

Im sure if i watched it again i will like it a lot more. That opening in the gay S/M club was just unsetlelling.

I quite like the way it works towards the happy ending.....er start. (Depending on how you look at it.) I found it quite moving, which was unexpected but well done.

[Make Them Die Slowly]

I found that having the happy ending/start,made the impact of the rape and the scene in the gay club much stronger.The film left me with a good feeling which was immediately underscored with feelings of numbness on recalling the two brutal scenes creating a mixed emotional response.I can't recall any other film in recent years that has done that.Most films of this type (rape/revenge) just aim to deaden the viewers senses.

The 2007 French Horror "Inside" is available in english or original language versions. It is very gory so if that is your motive for a film then you can do worse than this non stop splatter fest.


If you prefer something with more of a story and point,Don't talk to strange men was an enjoyable B&W classic I watched last weekend from 1962. just over an hour long quite chilling for it's day.

If you want a gory & far fetched typical mid 80's film Nail gun massacre is a good choice for a laugh.

Watched "The Last Slumber Party" yesterday-I can't decide if it's a pile of shite or a surrealist classic!Any views on the film would be welcome.

I literally had to attempt 5 times to get past 15 mins of it. I think every aspect of it deserves to win shittiest film award. The Camera Work,Acting,Plot and print all had more holes than a warehouse of cheese Graters.

Watched Zombie Flesh Eaters 2 again the other night

Great fun

And saw The Slayer for the first time

I was impressed with the movie ........but not with the print

On a bit of Vipco run at the moment!!!

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Watched THE LAST HORROR FILM last night.Spinnell puts in a suitably sweaty performance as the raving loon-wannabe-director,but Munro is generally wasted.Interesting setting with the Cannes film festival though.Not a patch on Spinell's other screwball magnum opus MANIAC though.
