Watched 2010 (1984, Peter Hymans) Just maybe if they had left the old Strauss til the end..... Whilst adapting this book was a thankless task, it still manages to carry off its main conceit adroitly. Lithgow less annoying than I remembered. Looked a bit faded though....ho hum.

Tower of Evil while explorering a small island two men discover 3 naked dead bodies one of which is missing a head, they soon discover a crazed naked young woman who kills one of the men, the other man managers to subdue her. The woman ends up in a hospital where a doctor trys to find out what happenrd . flashbacks show the girl and her friends arrvinvg on the island and end up being dispatched by an unknowing assailant. Its at this point a group of archeologist become interested in going because of the weapon the girl used to kill the man with, its a relic of a cult that worshiped the god Baal. Soon after arriving they are slowly killed of in gruesome fashion by an unknowing assailant . a very early slasher the predates Halloween and Friday the 13th. More brutal than I was expecting and surprisingly effective. 8/10 Superman vs Batman directors cut Still not a great film but the extra footages improves it with it being less disjointed and even though its 30 minutes longer it flows better and actually feels shorter than the theatrical release. lex's motivation still makes little sense and batman should of figured out something was wrong espically by the time of the explosion. Superman/Clark has a few more scenes and I do like the whole god/ mythology thing but Cavill still lacks any charisma. Both Batman and Wonder woman are still highlights of the film as is the battle against Doomsday's. 6.3/10 Nowing watching trancers followed by splatter university |

The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014) 65 years after a masked serial killer terrorized the small town of Texarkana, the so-called 'moonlight murders' begin again. What a clever film this is. Basically a remake of a fairly obscure mid 70's slasher, this film acknowledges the original at every turn. Being a slasher there's plenty of blood and guts as well as gratuitous sex and nudity but the film is much more than mere exploitation. Concentrating on the original murders this film intelligently uses footage from the original film as it plays at a drive-in theatre and even recreates the murders as copycat killings in the present day. It's not cliched nor derivative but original and makes for a very compelling horror film. The performances, including veteran character actors Gary Cole and Ed Lauter, are strong all round and it all comes together startlingly well in what proves to be a breath of fresh air in how to construct a slasher film. |
