Yeah, there wasn't much to enjoy was there?

Scooby doo! Kiss - Rock & Roll mystery.

Not watched anything scooby doo related in many years, however the crossover with Kiss proved too enticing so decided to give it a go. It's actually pretty fun, well animated with some genuinely psychedelic sequences thrown in and some nice digs at the bands willingness to attach their name to everything and anything for a quick buck... plus this probably sounds weird but Daphne in kiss make up is actually pretty hot..... there I said it!

Escape from tomorrow.

Since Scooby was my mates contribution to the evening I decided to up the ante with this weirdness. I stuck a review up here some time ago but have not really revisited it until now. Shot covertly at Disneyland its a story of a mans mental disintegration after losing his job at one of the worlds most popular family destinations and succumbing to lust, booze and ultimately disease and death and discovering a shady operation run by the siemens corporation under the epcot centre. Might not be to everyone's tastes but I really like it.

It sounds way better than As Above, So Below (2014)

A found footage film set in the catacombs of Paris, about a woman's search for the Philosophers stone. She should have watched Harry Potter. After an atmospheric opening, (well following half an hour of nothing that is) in the bone infested tunnels and a breathless set piece where one of the tunnel explorers gets stuck and freaks out, the film meanders into nothingness and a study of personal demons rather than any actual physical manifestations.

Come the final twenty minutes i was just wishing it was over as any interest in the characters or what happened to them had long gone.

I've ordered it today and I'm really looking forward to watching it again – I loved it when I saw it at the cinema.

It was a struggle to get through i did like the part you mentioned with the camera man getting stuck but apart from that i just felt frustrated by it all.

I remembered you disliked it so thought i'd get it out of the way.

I like films set in Catacombs, or at least i want to like them. I haven't visited the Paris ones, but have been in the ones under Rome and found them fascinating, eerie, and also quite beautiful. Skulls and bones everywhere.

The problem is no one seems able to make a decent film about them. As Above, So Below was poor as was the Shannyn Sossaman movie Catacombs.

It seems like a perfect setting for a great atmospheric horror .

Im sure there's some catacomb type stuff at the start of the Nosferatu remake which is quite eerie.
Also theres a short made by Jan Svankmajer called the Ossuary with a church type structure made of bones which is very haunting.
