An experimental piece of agricultural machinery appears to be at the centre of the revival of the recently dead in Jorge Grau’s gem of a movie.

The living dead themselves are tremendously creepy, while their wheezing, groaning is very Fulci like. Did Lucio see this film before he made his classics like CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD?

Once you get past Ray Lovelock’s annoying cockney geezer character and get into the living dead revival, just sit back and enjoy this masterpiece of zombie cinema.

I used to think Arrow would make a great special edition of this, but not so sure these days. Indicator, maybe? ( we can but hope! )

I still think Arrow would do a top job. I'm just not sure they'd want to.

Picasso Trigger (Andy Sidaris)

Tis the usual caper.
A white slaver and a drug dealer are in Molokai Cargo's sights this time.
No doubt one of the reasons for the depletion of the ozone layer (beeeg hair a gogo), the gangs all here and willing to peel off at the blink of an eye, all for the good of the investigation naturally cough cough.
This is the third time I've watched this one, whilst none of them are quite as looney tunes as Hard Ticket To Hawaii, I've grown to enjoy these folk stumbling through their lines with all the animation of a Trumpton character.

They'd be well up for it were it called The Living Dead at the Hong bloody Kong Morgue.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too!

The last UK release was on Optimum so it’s likely that Studio Canal still holds the license which means if it does come out in HD over here it won’t be a fancy edition.

I’d be tempted to buy the Synapse version at some point. As long as it’s good value, the steel book was very over priced.

The Synapse Blu ray is the one I’ve got.
Picture quality is great and it has interviews and a feature length doc on Grau’s films, including contributions from the man himself. I do think it’s good value.

You’d be surprised how much better it looks!

Serpico. 1973.

Befor starring in The Godfather, Al Pacino made Serpico launch him into the limelight, here he plays policeman Frank Serpico who became a whistle blower on police corruption and made him a target with those he works around.

This is such a good movie is because of the character, not the plot. The better scenes include Serpico's personal life and struggles from being a patrolman and trying to climb the ladder while facing bullying and people throwing their position about and dealing with his love life. Director Sidney Lumet went with the book and script and rolled with it by creating a great paced tense movie that can keep your attention right from the start to the end credits.

Following conversations in The Gothic Thread today i'm currently watching Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966)

It's superb. I've laughed more in half an hour than i did at Carry on Camping last night.

Unless things go dramatically downhill over the next hour and a half this is easily the best film i'll have seen this year.

I'm also playing a drinking game. Every time Richard Burton prepares a drink i have a sip.

F*ck me! Don't expect much out of me tomorrow...or Thursday...Friday too probably.
