Death Wish Charles Bronson's Wife & Daughter are attacked and fed up with the lack of Police response, he becomes a Vigilante and becomes a hero for the public but not with the Police. Jeff Goldblum has an early role in this interesting Film with a shock that he didn't get revenge on the main villains. Taken 2 Liam Neeson and Famke Jansson are this time kidnapped by the Father of a man Neeson killed in the original. Maggie Grace also returns and this time is throwing Grenades in Istanbul without any blowback. It's not bad but it was very unlikely, it would match the 1st one. Death Wish 2 Charles Bronson's Daughter is attacked again and this time dies along with the Housekeeper by more Hoodlums (This time includes Lawrence Fishburne) and again this makes him return as a Vigilante. Rather similar to the 1st and is decent. Cohen & Tate Roy Schider and Adam Baldwin are a mismatched pair of Hit Men who have to bring a 9 year old witness to the Mob. Rather entertaining little film which was shorter that I thought it would be. Kickboxer II: Road Back Sasha Mitchell is the younger Sloane Brother who is forced into fighting Tong Po who kills his friend in order to regain his honor. A very entertaining sequel which also sees the return of Xien. For anyone who has seen this, one plot hole which blooming annoys me is the fact that Tong Po was able to stroll into a professional Kickboxing Ring for a sanctioned event and literally beat someone badly without being stopped by Police and/or security. |

Shooting The Warwicks (2015, Adam Rifkin) From the man who helmed Dawn Of Sex When the subjects of a new reality show are deemed "boring" by the producers, the director (Rifkin himself haha) has a few ... tricks up his sleeve ahem. As satire it's very heavy handed for all that.

The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave.19971. Lord Alan Cunningham who is mentally unstable and cannot get over the death of his wife, takes red heads back to his manor for S&M fun and kills them while paying off his brother in law for silence, is coerced into marrying again. He takes Gladys as his new wife who may not have his best interests at heart. This is part thriller part gothic horror, sometimes these genre's do mix together and sometimes it's best not to, unless you have a stable writer and director and know what both are thinking. This was entertaining as it does add a twist within another twist and hope the right people get what's coming to them the best way possible. If you get past the slow start which does build up the film's tone it can be a enjoyable film that plays on mostly sanity and plenty of female nudity. 342971-giallo-the-night-evelyn-came-out-of-the-grave-poster-2-1024x768.jpg

Demon of Paradise (1987) Thanks to illegal dynamite fishing near a tourist resort in Hawaii, a mythical sea creature (or man in a rubber monster suit) is awoken from deep sleep hibernation and terrorizes the holiday makers and locals alike. More schlock from the Corman stable which is almost identical to Up From the Depths, except this is better made, better written, better acted and just better to watch. Demon of Paradise is simply better all round. Although it's still not exactly great and is certainly no Humanoids from the Deep. when it comes to fishy terrors. |

The Seventh Day. 2021. In 1995 Father Peter assisted in a exorcism where his mentor died, Present day Father Peter is a renowned exorcist with a protege and is ready to do battle with the same demon that has possessed another child. This is about a priest who is pissed with the devil and wants revenge on a demon, a child has murdered his family while possessed, I have always liked Guy Pearce but this was a real let down, the plot seemed interesting but towards the end it just seemed to go down quicker than a comet plunging to earth and left it with one or two unanswered questions. Films with demons and exorcists, most directors try to make it be on the same level of The Exorcist and fail miserably like this film .

Curtains. An actress commits herself to an asylum to prepare for a role, only to have the scummy director leave her there and then start casting again! At his remote cabin he starts "auditioning" actresses, even as the original actress escapes... and then the killings start. This early 80s Canadian horror seems to have loftier ambitions than the usual slasher (lots of themes about actresses selling their souls for success, and John Vernon as a very Harvey Weinstein type director), though its troubled production makes it feel rather disjointed at times. It's still pretty interesting though, with a good cast (including Samanthan Eggart and The Avengers' Linda Thorson), memorable "old hag" mask killer and some striking sequences (the murder on ice is beautifully frightening). Strange but compelling.

What Have They Done To Solange. 1972. A gym teacher at all girl's school is having a affair with a pupil, while they are out she sees a murder happening, the teacher becomes a suspect until more murders begin to happen and looks into who the killer could be. A nice little Giallo made in and around London, I can't remember much about this but was enjoyable from start to finish with some nice little twist added in. Even a film from the 70s and expect it to be a bit of a sleaze fest this seems a bit light than other films except the teacher/pupil relationship and the picture of the first victim, great acting from all and nice appearance by Camille Keaton. 48242-what-have-you-done-to-solange--0-230-0-345-crop.jpg
