I think what you're all trying to say is he Makes Them Die Slowly.

Body Puzzle (1992)

A rather poor later giallo from Lamberto Bava, a director who should know better. Coming across like amateur hour, the film is riddled with both editing and continuity errors. Watch the toilet cubicle murder. It's awful. The victim whose arm is grabbed under the cubicle switches from side to side and the killer is outside the cubicle, then in the next cubicle, seriously it's really poorly edited. There's also a murder in a swimming pool where a man is repeatedly stabbed to death. There's no blood in the water at all. Then of course there's the freezer sequence... honestly it's just inept rubbish.

I first saw Body Puzzle on vhs and thought it poor. The passage of time can change your mind though, but in this case it's just as bad as i remembered and makes films such as Argento's The Card Player and Giallo seem like masterpieces of the genre.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016)

And so this record breaking video game horror franchise comes to an end and thankfully everything is pretty much sewn up in a satisfying conclusion.

The only other film in the series that is multi referenced is the 2002 original, both in plot terms and in fan pleasing references to past events namely the corridor of automated grid traps.

The film begins with a huge set piece and in true video game fashion never lets up from beginning to end. It's a pop corn thrill ride where characterization gives way to action. In fact the only ones with any depth are Milla Jovovich's Alice and Iain Glen's satisfyingly evil Dr Isaacs. The rest including Ali Larter's Claire Redfield are hastily fashioned cardboard cut outs.

Come the end, the Umbrella Corporation is liquidized, a T-virus cure is airborne and Alice sets off on another journey as a voice over is heard

"When the T-virus spread across the Earth, it did so at the speed of the modern world, carried by jetliners across the globe. The antivirus is airborne, spread by the winds. It could take years for it to reach every corner of the Earth. Until then, my work is not done. My name is Alice."

Final installment or not. If you enjoy the Resident Evil films then this is recommended, but for non-fans it isn't likely to win you over.

I've yet to see this or the previous instalment. I'll be looking to pick the complete boxset up soon as it drops a bit.

The previous one is easily the pick of the series in my opinion.

Golden Years (2016, John Miller)
More fun than We Still Steal The Old Way. Plucky pensioners accidentally find a solution to austerity.

Friday Foster (1975, Arthur Marks)
The Grier plays a shutterbug who stumbles into a conspiracy that reaches the upper echelons. Crammed with incident and many familiar faces, tis one of Pam's better films imho.

Danger Tomorrow (1960)

A doctor and his wife (Robert Urquhart and Zena Walker) move into an old house near a country practice. Walker begins to have strange ESP like visions as she realizes her life will be soon under threat.

An enjoyable chiller that veers into old dark house territory as well as being a compelling crime mystery. It's well acted and guaranteed to keep you guessing as to how events will pan out.

Another solid B-picture from Network that looks and sounds gorgeous with a terrific full screen print 1:66:1.

Recommended to those who like their British cinema to be full of dark deeds.
