Revenge just pisses all over its parent imo. Enjoy b!!



Talons Of The Eagle (1992, Michael Kennedy)
Billy Blanks and Matthias Hues? Sold. Bog standard and slightly askew at the same time, this third tier actioner is a bit perfunctory at times tbh. As befits the medium I suppose . Though it does feature a bloke crawling through a very snug vent ...

Well you're right.
Revenge of the Ninja
A man and his son move to the United States to open an oriental museum. However the dolls are hiding heroin and there's a ninja going around murdering mobsters.
In comparison to Enter the Ninja, this film feels superior especially in terms of action set pieces.
8/10

Running Scared (2006, Wayne Kramer)
When Paul Walker's goon doesn't quite dispose of some evidence he enters a world of hurt. Decent if a bit convoluted in places, veering into a weird tangent at one point. Chazz Palminteri sneers from the sidelines ....

Ninja 3: The Domination
A ninja murders a group of people at a golf course, gets the hell blown out of him by the police and then possesses a telephone repair women who also does aerobics to get his vengeance.
This is just weird, a ninja movie with demonic possessions I mean what.......
Still great action scenes and some demonic possession moments.

Doctor X (1932)

An early thirties Technicolor thriller from Casablanca / Mildred Pierce director Michael Curtiz, and the very first horror film to be filmed in colour.

Starring Lionel Atwill and King Kong leading lady Fay Wray, the film centers on a series of cannibalistic killings in New York that are traced back to Atwill's Gothic mansion / medical school. Taking it upon himself he uses his daughter (Wray) as bait in an attempt to discover which one of his staff is the killer.

This is quite good and although the colour isn't brilliant it is creepily effective. The film is quite chilling at times, especially a synthetic flesh sequence, but is let down at other times by a comedy like performance from Lee Tracy as a wise cracking reporter and Wray who treats us to her full repertoire of screams. Despite this Doctor X is a film whose charms certainly outweigh the flaws and i found it all very enjoyable.

Anything with Atwill ...

Kill List.
It's the little things. Pushed back into a lifestyle he is not ready for, an ex soldier reunites with an old colleague who has made contact with a new client ...

Ouija: Origin of Evil. A widowed mother and her two daughters run a seance scam business to pay the bills, but when they introduce a ouija board into the operation, the little girl plays with it herself at night to try and talk to her late father... only to unleash something far more terrifying on the household. This 2016 horror flick from Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Hush) is superbly made and acted, and very scary to boot, certainly up there with the Conjuring movies. Classy modern horror with a very atmospheric 60s period setting, I enjoyed it just as much as I did at the cinema.
