THE BOY WHO CRIED WEREWOLF-Terrified me as a pup,quite laughable now-but still a great nostalgic watch! Makes a great double bill with BAD MOON. Scream Factory's Blu is superb! I'm positive the BBC screened this back in the late seventies/early eighties late one Friday or Saturday night.....if not,well must've been the naughty pirate man who used to come round the doors..... All we need now is Stephen King's Silver Bullet on Blu,another Lycanthrope guilty pleasure! 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE-Wasn't holding much hope for this,but was pleasantly surprised. Draws you in and keeps your attention.A keeper.

SCALPS-If you like slashers of the Hills Have Eyes variety (without the intensity) then you'll like this.The Red Indian demon/creature is rather good and the film has some cheap splatter. Talking of cheap splatter...... DRIVE IN MASSACRE-88's disc includes a 65 minute cut of the film which trims most of the yawnsome chat.Makes for a tighter,punchier viewing experience. Watch out for Hills Have Eyes Janus Blythe flashing her impressive acting assets! 88's Discs are the best both films have ever looked.

@Bizarre_Eye I didn't mind Berserker at all. However you were possibly a little jaded due to all the other 'quality' product you'd watched beforehand. Glad you rate Housebound. It sits in my DD watch pile. |

Surprised by that score. Out of all the films I saw at the cinema last year, it was one of my favourites and is a 4/5 (or 8/10, or probably 78/100). It certainly isn't flawless, but I thought it was a tense affair which was really well acted by everyone involved, particularly Matt Damon, and was a whole lot of fun with a brilliant soundtrack.

I also can't really agree on the soundtrack with the amount of disco music Matt Damon's character was stuck with on Mars. I think I would have stepped outside the habitat with my space helmet off long before I started thumbing through the captain's collection of disco hits lining up what to play next. |
