It's been ages since I last saw this – as some indicator of time, that was when it came out as I watched it for review purposes – and really liked it, so must dig out the DVD and give it another viewing. It is the season, anyway!

Following on from yesterday's rewatch of Ruggero Deodato's most famous man-muncher film, I fancied watching another of his films, so I watched Cut and Run. Despite the version I watched having certain scenes only in Italian and without subtitles (not much of an issue, until they spoke too quick for me to transalate), I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely pick up the R1 DVD if I can source a cheap copy. Plus, I noticed another character called Tommy that had an 80's perm, as pointed out by Handyman Joe's missus earlier in this thread!

I'm back to working crazy hours again, so film watching is barely getting a look in Tried watching Black Mama White Mama last night, but fell asleep about 20 minutes in. Got to see the shower scene, but didn't make it to Sid Haig. I'll try again tonight . . .

December 6th Siren (2010) Merlin's Eoin Macken heads a film about three friends travelling around gorgeous sun kissed islands in a hired yacht. Things start to take a turn for the worse when they discover a man on the point of death bleeding from the ears. Siren is a well directed, great looking film that is well acted throughout. It has a competantly written storyline which flys along, not allowing the viewer to get bored. For a low budget British film it is a nice change to have it set in such lovely sunny locations. But the film lacks something, that certain spark to make it memorable, its difficult to say exactly what that spark is. It may be the siren herself who is certainly pretty, but to me is not irresistibly beautiful enough to portray this mythological creature. It could be the lack of hardcore thrills and spills or gory murders. I'm not certain, as films don't begin and end with blood and guts to me. It just lacks that certain something, so for me Siren was purely ok and difficult to recommend. December 7th Alone in the Dark (1982) What a highly enjoyable film with a terrific cast - Donald Pleasence, Jack Palance and Martin Landau. A slasher film but slightly different to the norm as we know from the start who the slashers are, in this case three escaped mental patients (Palance, Landau and Erland Van Lidth) who manage to get away from Pleasence's institution during a blackout and terrorize the family of their new psychiatrist. The film is both a lot of fun and incredibly sleazy in places, especially the scene where Palance, hidden under a womans bed repeatedly thrusting a blade through the mattress with its point emerging between her thighs. It all culminates when the mild mannered shrink fights back to save his family. The film may mix and match its genres, slasher, revenge thriller, action movie, but it all adds up to a gripping viewing experience. |
