Revenge of the Corpse was a first time viewing, and to be honest I was a little under-whelmed. I was expecting an all out assault of the senses Shaw Bros. style, and was actually left a little wanting. Enjoyable in places, but slightly dull in others, which meant I found myself checking the run time every now and then to see how much was remaining.

Bio-Zombie is one of my favourite Eastern zombie outings (along with Junk), and it's one I'd definitely recommend horror fans looking for something a little different in relation to both zombies and Asian horror; silly but highly enjoyable.

Just finished legend of the guardians the owls of ga'hoole surprised how much I enjoyed this and surprised how good the 3d was, as its February 2nd might watch Groundhog Day next.

Final Destination (Blu Ray) for me last night, great film and PQ & Audio were spot on. Can't wait to watch the rest of the collection.

Never said it isn't a great film, I just don't think it's as good as people claim, never have done. Great cast though, but I'm more of a fan of the Italian rip offs myself

Season of the Witch (2011)

I've had this film knocking around for over a year now and the largely negative response to it put me off watching until now.

I don't really get the hostility towards the film. Set in the 14th century it follows the path of two Knights transporting an accused witch to a remote abbey to stand trial.

Starring Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman, the film is a lively action / horror affair, fast paced, action packed and boasting some fine set pieces, fortunately, until the final scenes the film isn't blatantly CGI heavy either. The film is well acted and has a superior British guest cast, Christopher Lee, Stephen Graham, Claire Foy and the excellent Robert Sheehan fresh from his stint on the brilliant Misfits.

The film looks the part, the photography is lovely to look at, its Budapest and Salzburg settings suit legends of ancient witchcraft and plague. The movie's tone is always serious, yet was a whole lot more fun than the simillar Black Death.
