Ach, I wanted "that" cover (the old UK VHS one etc)

Nope, I remember it coming out, thinking that looks good, then forgetting all about it!

BAD REPUTATION

Zero budget high school rape revenge flick that almost says something about peer pressure and privilege but gets too excited killing off the rape-o scumbags to follow it through. It looks and sounds very flat which adds a distant from the emotional punch that it should have had as either a message film or exploitation film.

KILLER MERMAIDS

In my head I envisaged this as a sex and gore heavy gender reversal of Humanoids of the Deep from the title, then I watched it. Yep, it is a modern horror of the walking around in the dark endlessly with bugger all happening with one of the worst endings ever.

Due to some broken ribs, I'm currently taking it easy and can't decide what film to watch this afternoon. Its a choice between Dead and Buried, Cut Throats 9 or The Long Weekend (which Ive never seen before). Any suggestions?

Get yourself a bottle of Scotch and go with The Lost Weekend.

I didn't mind Killer Mermaids actually.

It is the one with Franco Nero, right?

If you are someone who goes out and about into charity shops and CEX, keep an eye out for it because I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it – I'll probably pick up a cheap copy sometime soon.

I haven't seen Cut Throats 9, so can't comment on it. The others are vastly different from each other, with one a sleazy and ultra gory affair and the other a bone fide classic, which is not exactly as much fun. If you want something lightweight and enjoyable, Dead and Buried is the clear winner, but if you want a more intense and gripping film with a clear range in the writing, acting, directing, editing etc. departments, The Long Weekend is the one to choose.

Sounds good to me I've still got about three quarters of a bottle of 21 year old Royal Brackla stashed away. I'm just not sure how it would mix with the codiene tablets I've just taken.
