I’ve only watched it once, years ago and thought it was decent enough, might give it a rewatch to see how I feel now

asylum_UKquad.jpg When called to an insane asylum for a job interview Dr. Martin has no idea exactly what sort of strange procedure he will have to go through to secure the job. For this job Dr.Martin will have to do a practical hands on interview where he must talk to all the patients in the asylum and pick out which one is the Doctor who originally offered him the job who has recently gone from Doctor to patient himself. Asylum is another great anthology from Amicus telling four different tales from the perspective of four of the patients of the asylum each one leaves you questioning the very sanity of the storyteller and has you questioning if the person belongs in the hospital or have these horrific things been done to them rather than by them. "Frozen Fear" Tells the tale of a man who will do anything to escape his marriage which has gone stale and elope with his mistress but his wife has plenty of money and walking away wont get him and of her money so he comes up with a more gruesome plan which backfire in a very bizarre but fantastic way. The "The Weird Tailor" is a tale of a tailor whose business is struggling and he cannot afford the rent. When is landlord gives him is final extension he has only a few days to pay of his debt or he will lose his home and business. Shorty after he is offered a very strange job where he must tailor a suit from a very unusual material but only during the night at some very odd hours and he must not start a second before or work a second longer. But when the suit is finished things only get stranger from there on. "Lucy Comes To Stay" Lucy returns home from a mental institute but it seems like her brother is doing everything in his power to make sure she is not cured and when her troublesome friend starts showing up to the her everything turns to chaos pretty soon as then plan to escape her brother and runaway together. "Mannikens of Horror" this is the story that binds them altogether where the last patient is making dolls and putting parts of himself inside them in order to escape the prison of a hospital. Each story is short and sweet and never overstays its welcome and they are all very interesting and engaging. They all come together nicely ending with a great little twist to finish it off. Well i wouldn't of gotten the job because i couldn't of picked out which one was the Doctor 7/10

Even if you weren't entirely won over, I would advise making the time to watch it again with Ridley Scott's commentary because, as far as I can remember,, it's an extremely informative and enjoyable commentary which always makes me wanting to watch it again – in your case, perhaps the director's cut to see if the additional scenes make any difference to your enjoyment.

10 to Midnight (1983) 10.jpg Cannon Films, certainly knew how to come up with greatest ideas for what now seems pretty bizarre, but back then seemed the norm. So the writers obviously thought, lets mix Death Wish with a slasher film, and they manage to go a step farther by having the serial killer naked, hard to imagine Michael Myers or Jason Vorhees butt naked while there slaughtering teen girls,( then again that's probably a good thing, I just had a vision of Joe Spinell in Maniac, doing his thing tackle out.) And while Ten to Midnight is not as violently gory as your regular horror come slasher movies, but it is has an air of sleazy seediness as our handsome nutter goes around annoying women, and then killing them starkers...Of course no Cannon film is complete without a Chuck, and in most films they could be interchangeable, in this case we have Chucky Bronson, who seems a lot more chirpier than he does in his other grumpy old man with a gun, and in this case a badge flicks. It really is hard (no pun intended) not to be drawn to the killers bits, when he is doing his dirty deeds, its not that its flagrantly in the viewers face, its usually hidden by a pot plant or a marrow lying on a kitchen table, its just weird but mildly intriguing, feel sorry for the fools who only saw the pants version...

I think ALIEN is fracking brilliant. One of my favourite films of all time. I'm reading The Making Of Alien book at the moment and love every thing about it from concept to screen. I love ALIENS, it is an awesome sequel but if I had to pick only one out of the franchise it would be ALIEN over all. |

Also, the original Alien remains one of my all-time favourite cinema going experiences when I managed to catch it on a re-release in the early 2000s. |

Thought Resurrection was superb when i saw it at the cinema. It was almost Xenomorph porn the way the camera lovingly examined them in their cages on the ship. It's only let down to me was the hybrid alien, i dunno, it just wasn't necessary. Then there was that swimming sequence. At least one of our party died three times attempting to hold their breath for the length of time characters spent underwater. |
