Yeah, some people worship it, but I've never been overly keen. Of the three big 1981 'wolf' movies (the others being American Werewolf and Wolfen) it's by far the weakest to me.

Between yesterday and today - 2 movies almost in a row must be a new record for me since my son was born lol



Bad Police (amazing title...not) Jeong-beom Lee made two amazing movies Cruel Winter Blues & The Man from Nowhere so when I saw a new title from this director on Nextflix I got all excited, but it's just another generic thriller/revenge south korean movie - it's not a bad thing, but it's not worth a re-watch or even a recommendation.



I was expecting much more from Heathers - a proper teen horror comedy movie.. but "hey oh", IMO nothing special..

The story comes of as a bonkers twilight zone tale involving a nice old couple that enjoy cats and collecting clocks and bodies as well as murdering a servant by sticking her in the pussy so her guts fallout . When the world's most useless and least treating thugs invade the old couple's and kill them , thats only the start of there problems , when the old couple come back from the dead seeking revenge. 7/10

Bonnie & Clyde (1967, Arthur Penn)

Faye Dunaway looks human in this, which is a bonus I freely admit .
When a local ne'r do well shows interest in her, a waitress enters a world of instant gratification (well ... ). Ably directed by Penn, and backed up by Michael J Pollard and Gene Hackman, Beatty plays Barrow as an optimist. Imagine him playing Richard Speck instead . Ahem. Film.

She Devils of The SS(1973)

Set during the later days of WW2, loads of young women are volunteering in the German army to show their loyalty to Adolf Hitler. and end up losing their clothes in their efforts to aid the war effort at the Russian front.
A pretty tame effort in the Naziploitation genre. and is more like a carry on sex comedy mixed with a bit of Allo Allo, even if the comedy falls a bit flat.
But the girls are absolutely gorgeous though, and back in the days when women were natural and gorgeous without implants and tattoos.

Overall, not the greatest film ever made. and lacking in violence apart from a mild rape scene. But production values are actually pretty decent from Erwin Dietrich who did the colourful Franco collaborations as well. 67 out of 100.

Werewolves on Wheels (1971)

I wasn't struck on this film the first time i watched it but on second viewing i appreciated it far more. Yes there's still the problem of not actually having much in the way of werewolf action and they certainly don't bomb down the highways on Harley's but it does have it's merits.

There's a lot of motorbike riding going down ala Easy Rider and a delightful naked satanic snake dance in front of a fire as well as a swirling Doors like soundtrack that might just take you to another plane. Well either that or you'll be bored shitless.

It is, plus there's the added bonus of Matt Berry riding along behind whilst holding a flaming torch aloft.
