Death Hunt. A trapper (Charles Bronson) intervenes to save a dog from a brutal dogfight, enraging the hicks behind it so much that they track him and attempt to ambush him in his cabin. This results in one of them getting his head blown off, so they then go running to the local Mounties, painting themselves as the victims of course, to try and bring him down. But Bronson isn't going down without one hell of a fight... Never seen this early 80s action thriller co-starring Lee Marvin and Carl Weathers and set against some spectacular scenery before, but it had me hooked from the start and thoroughly entertained throughout. Great stuff. There's even a small role for Len Lesser, better known as Seinfeld's Uncle Leo!

The Children (Tom Shankland, can't work out the year byt there's an advert for Twilight on here so maybe 2008?)

A bunch of obnoxious British w@nkers (and their kids) spend new year together, the kids go all "28 Days Later" (or they're supposed to, nothing's happened yet), it's ok but slow, charity shop 50p, loads of great reviews, hoping it picks up.

This is schlock of the highest order. Everything about it is awful. It ain't no horror movie (if it is then it's awful); it's a comedy. One to watch with friends.

This looked like harmess fun (was expecting a tween version of Wishmaster) but you're right, just awful!

I think it's excellent, so don't be put off by the Twilight advert! This is what I wrote about the film:

"Based on a short story by Paul Andrew Williams and written for the screen and directed by Tom Shankland, The Children was released and set around Christmas time 2008 in the UK. Two families, both with young children, spend the holiday at a remote country manor.

Dragged along against her will is teenager Casey (Hannah Tointon), who’s too old for the younger kids and too young to socialise with the adults and her reluctance ensures there are tensions from the very beginning.

One by one the children, apart from Casey, fall ill and strange accidents start to befall the adults, who begin to realise that something is wrong with their little darlings. Things slowly deteriorate into a kill or be killed situation and Casey must grow up fast or die. Matters aren’t helped when the adults believe that she is responsible for the ‘accidents’.

The Children is a welcome addition to the growing paedophobia sub-genre (see Eden Lake, Ils (Them), Mum & Dad) where children are malevolent creatures out to kill. This takes the trend a step further by reducing the age of the kids – they are from primary school – and putting the parents in a position where they may have to kill their offspring in order to survive.

Much of the film is kept very ambiguous as there is no explanation of what exactly is wrong with the children and whether they are all affected and the film is all the more chilling for this. Along with periods of sustained tension, there are outbreaks of extreme violence, justifying the 18 certificate and ensuring this is definitely not one for the squeamish.

The Children is a very well crafted and acted film, with real chemistry between the couples, amazing performances from the youngsters and assured screen presence from Hannah Tointon. I thought this was thoroughly involving and with the sort of scares and violence that make a horror film worth watching – highly recommended and a better film than Shankland’s impressive previous contribution to the genre: WΔZ."

Flesh for frankenstein.

Starring Udo kier as the insane baron Frankenstein who has married his sister and has two kids with her, one being the ginger girl who was in Deep red.

This is brilliant and is about the baron trying to start a master race by mating two perfect human specimims which is plans to build from perfect body parts. As he has already built his perfect female, or zombie as he calls them. he sets off to a whore house with his demented assistent Otto, a sex crazed Igor type character with staring eyes, and plans to decapitate a virile man to get the perfect head for his creation, but unfortunately the chap he gets is gay and not interested at all in his perfect female.
Meanwhile, his wife is getting bored and frustrated and starts having it away with the local gamekeeper, who she employs as a live in servant

Udo kier is fantastic in this film and really excels in the role and is so camp and over the top, and so funny when he comes out with one of the movie's most unforgettable lines, whilst having a very bizarre sex session with his female zombie,
to know death Otto, you have to **** life in the gall bladder


very entertaining and nicely shot with Hammer style sets as well, i liked this a lot 90.7 out of 100.

Continuing from the end of the last movie the heroine teams up with reverend Zombie (Tony Todd) to bring a end too Victor Crowley , but Zombie has his own plans. 7/10

Now watching Logan noir.

I must give Hatchet II another spin some time as on first viewing i thought it was terrible.

The first film was really good though.

I'd say it is worth a rewatch, it ain't on par with the original but it's still enjoyable
