Death Race (PWS Anderson). The Stath is wrongly imprisoned, forced to compete in an reality programme (with Lovejoy's help), and gets revenge for the umpteenth time. Riddled with cliches and inconstency....like how do they get 50 million viewers at $250 a pop , if the country is in such dire straits?? I did like that fact that it's set in 2012. Y'know when the world ended in that other film haha.

Just Before Dawn - terrific 'backwoods horror', thanks Code Red!

[Jani]

You're Next.Kind of a modern version of Mario Bava's A Bay of Blood, it really brought to my mind some Italian thriller's / giallo's from way back, that really doesn't bring anything new to the table, per se, but it's very effective for what it is.Enjoyed it very much, and I think it holds well for a second and third viewing.Barbara Crampton is in it! The Revenant, The Cabin in the Woods, You're Next...there's still hope in our beloved genre amidst all the remakes and CGI-infested game movies.Big Bad Wolves and Here Comes the Devil will bring more 'joy' to the world, I'm sure, looking forward to those.

Demonia (1990)

Lucio Fulci made some terrific horror films. Demonia isn't one of them.

Despite having some trademark gory and inventive deaths - Love the tongue nailing scene - the film is a terribly dull mess. Some sort of a plot about vengeful dead nuns taking it out on archaeologists and towns folk alike failed to stir me as the film plodded along at a snails pace. Al Cliver telling ghost stories was probably the films stand out moment apart from the eight graphic murders on offer, yes its that good.

One or two other Fulci trademark atmospheric moments aside this film isn't worth watching. For completists only.

Spot on Dem. As much as I love Fulci, I've always thought this is the worst of his films I have seen. Even Sodoma's Ghost is better than this!

That was my second viewing. It hadn't improved at all.

The bit with the child's father getting torn in two had me laughing so much I immediately filmed it and put it on Facebook haha 'papa!' 'Nooooo!!!!!'

I love the kid with "a secret stash of dirt" and the campfire getting together though.

[Make Them Die Slowly]

BORDERLAND. Grim and grisly crime cum horror film about vacationing Americans coming up against Santeria practicing drug dealers. A dark and violent film that should be better known. Recommended.

This week I have mostly been watching


Black Sabbath
Fall of the House of Usher
Red 2
Fury, The


Four entertaining films in their own way. I particularly liked The Fury, which I realised I hadn't seen before. How that happened I don't know.
