The 88 Films disc looked pretty good though, so that's a bonus if you're a fan.
Don't get rid of Just Before Dawn, Justin. I have a hunch you may prefer it second time around.

I just rented it, so I've already sent it back I'm afraid. When it's cheaper than £15 I might pick it up

I preferred it on second viewing, actually finding the guys doing the commentary overly harsh in their assessment of the film after I'd seen it again. I see what they were talking about because not an awful lot happens for long spells, but I found that added to the atmosphere and general sense of hopelessness for when the action really picks up towards the end.

this a strange one sometimes i watch it and it bores me to death but other times like this time i enjoy it. yes its slow and could be a good 20 minutes shorter, but i do find the story intresting and even for its age the look a V'ger is visual stunning. 7/10

Muck (2015)

A second time watch for Muck and the last. I'm still not entirely sure what's going on except a camera which can't take it's lens off girls butts and Kane Hodder and some chums who look like they got pissed and had a roll about together in a bakery.

If you wanna perv at female buttocks for 90 minutes then this is the film for you. As for me i'd like a bit more alongside to be honest as this is a bit dull.

One for the never again file.

Haha! It really should be called Arse. I watched it a time ago and skimmed it recently when it was on The Horror Channel.

Annabelle: Creation (2017)

Surprisingly, this is very good. A great creepy atmosphere, solid suspense and tension, excellently executed set-pieces, and likeable characters. There's some real creativity here, but the film succumbs to some haunted house clichés; the first hour is so good, but it loses it a bit in the last act. Although, I was still entertained overall.

***1/2 out of *****

Someone once offered me a copy of this for free

I didn't take it because I didn't know anything about the film

Now I know that it's rated 3.5/5 and it's about sport

Other than that, I still know nothing about it!
