Picked up a film called CREEP VAN for a quid in a charity shop.

It's set in detroit and its about a bloke whose had a string of bad luck and has ended up working in a car wash. What he really wants is his own ride as he's sick of taking the bus, he see's a van for sale and phones the owner trying to buy it. What he does'nt know but we do is the vans owner is a nutter who has modified the van into a mobile killing machine and spends his days driving about killing people!

This is a fun movie with plenty of prosthetic effects work and gory deaths. Its very low budget with some iffy acting but at 80 minutes long with plenty of murders it passes the time well enough, surprisingly good.

If only the clown scene had you thinking what was that all about?
you did better than me!

(Don't get me wrong though, I loved it when I watched it the other night.)

I think we can addribute these bizzare scene's to Rollin raising all his artisitc purity and calling bullshit.

The guy in the joke shop Dracula cloak was also somewhat peripheral to the plot I felt. Man he kept us waiting for the obligitary boobs scene, did he not - 65 minutes by my impatient watch. They were worth the wait, I can confirm.

Rambo: First Blood

Just finished watching Urban Explorer (2011)...ok-ish for a newer film I guess...maybe they could make a sequel with a special police squad going in (and add more action)...

Watched Weekend Murders earlier today. Curious little film, was expecting more of a giallo than I got. Seemed very tongue in cheek at times (I particularly loved the local policeman veering from bumbling buffoon to perceptive detective at the drop of a hat). It did seem to drag in places and could have been a lot tighter too.

The girl dancing around the graves was good and all...but it could have been so much better.

I saw the film for the first time when I watched the Code Red DVD a few months ago and I enjoyed it. I read somewhere that it was a giallo but it is a actually a whodunnit.

Yeah, it was the Code Red disc I watched too. They did a great job of it. It definitely is more of a whodunit than a giallo though. The peculiar Englishness of it is really entertaining too.
