I hated the 1977 version when I saw it from that year in the cinema and love the 2 remakes.

It only worked with the door open because it was faulty, which was mentioned earlier in the film. But yeah, that is a ridiculous scene

For me, the biggest failing was Mari living, therefore massively diminishing the justification for her parents exacting vicious revenge.

Bloody Wednesday (1987) We open in grisly fashion at the aftermath of a massacre. With its rather flat photography, it seems like the slow cousin of Henry at points as we trawl through the recess of yet another maniac's tortured thought process. But there is something here. Whether it's just the sets but I will be rewatching this sharpish.

I saw HAPPY DEATH DAY at the cinema today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Things take a little while to get going, but this pays dividends later on as the character development and locations are more defined than if it was rushed. I was surprised that I didn't guess the ending as I'm normally very good at figuring out a film's denouement before it is announced, and even more surprised that In Da Club, seemingly the protagonist's ringtone, does not feature at all! It's not as much of a horror film as I expected, with more humour, but the scenes that call for tension and violence are suitably suspenseful and have a Scream-type slasher and sometimes even classical giallo aesthetic. I was pleased they acknowledged the obvious influences and Groundhog Day is mentioned in dialogue and imagine it will be something I buy in about a year when it is what I consider to be appropriately priced.

The Paranormal Diaries: Clophill (2013) A well made but ultimately lacking found footage investigation into mysterious goings on at the ruined Church of St Mary The Virgin in Bedfordshire. The whole thing is given creedence as real locals are interviewed about real goings on at the church over the years. From body snatching to Occult rituals. Rather than the fictitious events of say The Blair Witch Project these things actually happened at St Mary's Church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mar...urch,_Clophill The ruined church is a fabulous location for a film such as this and based on what historical events occurred, is a place i'd quite like to visit. Although the interviews are interesting there's not an awful lot of shaky cam horror until the final five minutes when, admittedly, it is decidedly creepy (no spoilers and don't look on Google Images either) It's a pity as the footage is well filmed, you see what's going on rather than staring at the ground or the contents of someone's nose. For those who enjoy found footage / documentary films then i'd certainly recommend this. To everyone else, probably not. The film was released by Second Sight and the dvd is loaded with extras. |
