I love don't go in the house it makes me feel sleazy and dirty after it .

Hitman: Agent 47. 2015.

47 tries to track down a woman who may hold the secret of elite assassins that a corporation wants to create the ultimate killing machine.

I didn't expect much from this film, the plot seemed to be going in a good direction and Rupert Friend starring as assassin 47, and Zachary Quinto as the killer from the corporation led by Thomas Kretschamm. Aside from the action, car chase and fight scenes that's all the film is good, it seemed to have nothing else going for it and derailed itself from the game, even though the 2007 release isn't a masterpiece I prefer that version to this. :behindsofa:

The Skull. Mediocre mid70s Cushing/Lee horror about a historical skull that drives people to murder. The cast do their best, but this feels like a 20 minute anthology segment thinly stretched to (barely) feature length. Disappointingly dull.

Battle Royale. 2000.

In the future, the education system fails and encorporates a new act, the B.R. act. A class is chosen by lottery and the pupils are on a island, the rules are to kill each other within 3 days till one survives.

Only the Japanese can create a film like this and get away with the violence and blood splatter. Based on the novel by Koushun Takami, it does show how a modern culture with out of control kids can easily turn into a survival.

The actors playing the school kids don't go over the top and not outshine each other, it does show them having a laugh and thinking they are heading for a holiday then to turn on each other. It can be disturbing to some that the protagonists are seen as teenagers and some deaths may seem shocking with the styles of killings.

It's probably seen as it encourages kids to kill each other in ways that provokes kids into school massacres that have happened, to me IMO it's more like the government going to lengths in order to get discipline into the schools. It's a film that never get boring, just more entertaining.

Totally agree.

Lemony Snicket's a series of unfortunate events. 2004.

Three orphaned siblings move in with their cousin Count Olaf who intends to steal their fortune. When they are sent to live with other people they try to outsmart Olaf.

A very dark tale from the start, that seems to be a happy little elf that goes to a gothic atmosphere then straight to the plot of the story. Jim Carrey stars as the creepy cousin and stage actor Olaf, who thinks he can get a fortune easily. Scots comedian Billy Connolly stars as Dr. Montgomery and Mary Streep as the OCD Aunt a Josephine, Jude Law is the voice over of Lemony Snicket.

It's funny, comedy blended in and some dramatic scenes with some good visual effects, some of the scenes look like they have came from a old 50s horror movie with dark elements. The film is fast paced but not that fast that nothing seems confusing or missed out.

THE FOUR SKULLS OF JONATHAN DRAKE (1959)

The last three generations of men in the Drake family have all died around the age of 60 years. Buried without heads, the skin made in to shrunken heads, the skulls mysteriously appear in the family vault. Can Jonathan beat the curse of being the forth skull?

Creepy movie with some really good effects. The shrunken heads look great and we are shown how the heads are made by removing the skin from the skull and filled with sand. When I first watched this I was amazed what I was seeing. On subsequent viewings the effect is lessened but still quite bizarre.

That was a bit of a slog too get through , found quite dull and slow and the always dull and boring Dennis Warterman didn't help matters. Worth watching just for Lee and Patrick Troughton as Draculas servant.

Basically Waterman's randy older brother goes on the run after shagging the burgermeister's daughter and is killed by Dracula , waterman and is girlfriend go seeking him. 5/10 (7.5 when troughton is about)


Now watching.

In a mining town where people work hard and drink hard there hangs a dark cloud from the past the old tale of Harry Warden who went on a rampage on Valentines night and murdered a bunch of locals. With Valentines night approaching the older people of the community who lived through that night try to warn the younger generation that Harry Warden shows up on valentines night to kill but they think its only an old foll tale to scare the kids and stop them having too much fun on the night of love. After a human heart is posted to the Mayor the valentines dance is cancelled but the younger people organise their own party at the mine but this will could be the last party any of them ever attend because behind every folk tale is an element of truth.

A really fun slasher with some great kills and great gore the acting is solid but even for a horror there is one very unrealistic thing and that is Hollis the big over weight guy with the ridiculous moustache gets the best looking woman in the film :lol:

Scream Factory did a great job with the transfer the film looks great i only watched one of the extras the cast reunion one and it was great to hear the stories of the shooting of it.

8/10
