What Films Have You Seen Recently?

Darkness

Been collecting Jaume Balagueró films this week and had never even heard of this effort. It seemed to arrive seconds after I ordered it, and was absolutely immaculate for a second hand disk advertised as "Good" condition! Cost me pennies.

I liked it! The scripting was a bit wayward but the atmosphere and superb cast more than made up for it. A nice creepy way to spend 84 minutes! After this and the joys of [REC] and The Nameless I think I shall keep a sharp eye on his career. Let's hope the curious decision to turn [REC] into a trilogy (or worse, a franchise!) doesn't ruin everything!

Has anyone seen [REC] 2 yet?

Funny you should say that..........

I had an odd double bill last night of The Warriors followed by Pete Walker's Die Screaming, Marianne. Both great films; The Warriors being a personal favourite of mine.

there's been a lot of talk on these boards about the blind dead movies, and having had the first two film for a couple of months and not actually having seen them i decided to watch Tombs Of the Blind Dead this afternoon, and after dismissing them as cheap euro knock offs i must say that i was completely wrong, Tombs is a fantastic film, incredibly well shot for a start, and also well acted and i must say that the score was very atmospheric, im looking forward to watching Return Of The Blind Dead now. as someone said on a different thread, The Blind Dead films are Essential viewing.

It'll be interesting to see which of the first two Blind Dead films you prefer. Always a very tough decision with these.

Personally I thought Donnie Darko was superb. The longer Director's Cut (for once) is far better than the theatrical version.

An affable enough comedy. I quite liked it. As a result, I am rethinking my stance against fast moving zombies in cinema!
