Correct only the previous standard release was cut.

Just seen Silent Night. This is a loose remake of Silent Night Bloody Night.
It is quite stylised and love the look of the movie, use of colour is impressive. Almost Argento like.
It has a few nice kills and is gory compared to recent horror. Story wise Im not so sure I liked it, i love the original and would have preferred it to be left like that instead of having the explanation right at the end. I enjoyed it for a slick slasher flick but might need another viewing to see how the story sits with me.

The Loreley's Grasp is probably my favourite Spanish film.

The Keep (1983) Although the premise is a good one and the creature and effects passable for 1983, the film is somewhat ruined by the musical score and the disjointed story! Left to many questions unanswered.

In Time (2012) Bonnie & Clyde with a dose of Robin Hood!

Strip Nude For Your Killer (1975) 70's slasher movie with nudity.....Whats not to enjoy!

Dracula (1979) In my opinion one of the best Dracula interpretations, the psychedelic scene between Dracula and Lucy and Mina coming at Harker are outstanding and certainly better than Coppolas attempt!

Hi guys, watched two blu's this weekend:
Demoni - not really for me. Had a few nice scenes, the plot was cool and the gore effects were good but I kept getting pulled out of the film by the below average performances, and don't mention the silly motorcycle scene. Still, will be watching part 2 soon

House of the Devil - really enjoyed this one. Watched The Innkeepers recently, and was keen to see this earlier Ti West effort asap. I have VHS in my Zaavi cart, waiting for me to pull the trigger.

Off to see Skyfall tonight.

What's The Task like Nos? I always see the bluray in That's Entertainment in their 2 For £5 offer but never bother with it. Is it worth it?

It's okay, and certainly worth picking up for that price as that's how I bought my copy! It has an interesting concept, with a reality TV show in which the environment can be manipulated in the same way as in The Cabin in the Woods. However, you don't know whether events begin to spiral out of control or whether it's part of a master plan. The performances aren't anything to write home about, but it's something you'll watch and then, once you know how it pans out, watch it again – easily worth £2.50!

The Woods: 1960's horror about a girl who is sent to an isolated boarding house where strange things happen connected to an ominous secret in the school's surrounding woods. Lucky McKee's second feature clearly takes an inspiration from Suspiria with little nods to The Evil Dead which extend beyond a small performance by Bruce Campbell. It starts off really interesting but loses it's way halfway through where plot points and turns seem underdeveloped and the whole ending seems a bit confusing and rushed. It's like the last half of the film was supervised and edited by a completely different person which is a real shame. It's still an enjoyable watch but frustrating as it could have been so much better.


I'm about to sort out some horror Christmas viewing for me and my girlfriend - The 12 Slays of Christmas I'm nerdily referring to it. There's all 5 Silent night, Deadly Night films, the remake, Christmas Evil, Black Christmas (and maybe the remake too...urgh) a couple of shoddy-looking DV horrors. Can anyone think of anything else to add? The slasherier (?!) the better

Caught John Carpenter's The Thing on ITV4 last night, even though it's only a couple of weeks since I watched it on BD, I still couldn't resist watching it again, same thing usually happens everytime Shawshank or the first two Die Hard films are on TV.
While anticipating the delivery of my 2 ZFE BD's I decided to watch another favourite Italian zombie film of mine-Nights of Terror. Only my second time watching it in HD and still think it looks great, as for the film itself what's not to like, we have bad acting, bad dubbing, crazy dialogue and Peter Bark! Love it
