THE STUFF
Thought this was going to be a blast, but I was pretty disappointed. It's another great Arrow package with great pq, but the movie itself wasn't one of the label's better choices, imo.

THAT SINKING FEELING
Another one I saw years ago on Channel 4 when they used to show good stuff. Laugh out loud performances and ludicrous situations make this a real delight. Some good short films to back it up, but the main film is the real selling point. Recommended.

It's not bad, but by Hammer's standards it's pretty weak, probably on a par with The Reptile or She

You sure you're not thinking of The Phantom of the Opera.

I replied to Dave's post regarding The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Do you know what, I am

And, I've not even had any alcohol today either


My original post still counts to some extent, the Charles Laughton version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame is very good!

I could've edited my original post, but I'm not ashamed about making a mistake

The Tall Man -I thought this was incredible, although to go into the plot would be to give too much away. Morally ambiguous , disquieting and constantly surprising, this is the sort of film M. Night Shalyman used to make before he went a bit crap.

I really enjoyed it as well.

I did this mini review back in December if you're interested. http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/382332-post26440.html

Nice review Demlike and puts my lazy one-liner to shame . Completely agree re: Jessica Biel, who puts in a great performance and, to be honest, one I didn't think she was capable of. I think what I really enjoyed about this was that it 'toys' with audience without ever alienating them or upsetting the plot.

I've never seen 'Martyrs' but, after enjoying 'The Tall Man' so much, feel I need to rectify this soon
