Theatre of blood Perhaps my favourite price film. A lot of people compare it to the dr phibes movies, but for me its a lot better then them. Great acting from what is a who's who's of British acting, great kills and hilarious black comedy that never fails to have me laughing. Poodle pie anyone ? 10/10 |

I've watched a few 4 hour plus epics over the last week...DIE NIBELUNGEN and CLEOPATRA. Also SUBSPECIES and FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER in terms of horror. And finally 2 Olive BDs BULLFIGHTER AND THE LADY and McCLINTOCK.

Watched the remaining two shorts on 'Black Sabbath' this morning - great stuff! Also watched one of the special features, which compared the differences between the Italian and US releases. Really interesting, especially the audio/sound effects chosen for each.

geekdog.jpg "Hercules and the Tyrants of Babylon" (1964) Peter Lupus, the big guy from the tv series "Mission Impossible," dons the miniskirt and sandals as "Haircurlers the Mighty" for this outing and he's faced with the task of freeing the Queen of the Hellenes and a bunch of other slaves from the nasty Babylonians. Lot's of big rock and people throwing. 13/10 for being much more colourful and Haircurlers' big stick!

Requiem for a Vampire. Minimal dialogue and very dream like, says its one of Rollins 'purest' works and can't really disagree. Thought it got rather nasty near the end though. Not often I find sequences in a Rollin film outright unpleasant. Looks Gorgeous on Blu-ray,the colors are vibrant and its a great film. |

You're Next - saw this last night and thoroughly recommend it. It's a pretty smart home invasion/slasher hybrid with strong characters who make decisions not just to further the plot but because they seem like reasonable and sensible options most of the time. Some good jumps/scares and a couple of creepy moments which make it a great relief from the glut of possession/haunting films around at the minute.
