V/H/S/85/ 2023.

No Wake.
A group of teens head out to a abandoned summer camp and take a dip in the lake but think there is something in the water as someone is taking shots at them.

God Of Death.
After a earthquake in Mexico, a group of rescuers discover something more sinister underneath a building.

TKNOGD.
A performance artist on stage to a small audience presents a live show only for it to go wrong while using new technology and a family reunion goes wrong when ambushed in a police raid.

Dreamkill.
A police detective is hunting a serial killer and slowly discovers how murders are happening before the actual murder and who is behind it.

I loved these movies and slowly warming up to V/H/S/ Viral, it does show how people can be creative with horror and in between the segments we have a story called Total Copy about government cover up of a shape shifting alien that could have been shown more. Aside from the gore fest that we love, for me God Of Death which the earthquake did happen in Mexico in 1985 was a better segment and has the feel of claustrophobia mixed in. At times I wasn't on the edge of my seat with these as I was with the previous films and this instalment can easily be a "now you have watched, that's it".

Phantom Of The Paradise. 1974.

Checked this one out last night with my horror buddy Annmarie and what a laugh we had with this, right at the start it was a case of "WTF" with the first group, then a guy coming on played by George Memmoli discussing a singer and William Finley making a piano rendition and makes a deal with the devil Paul Williams.

What follows mix between Phantom Of The Opera and Faust with Jessica Harper who we know from Suspiria plays the young singer who manages to capture the attention of our hero in this and the only one he wants to sing his songs. The movie is a visually and musically impressive rock opera with a healthy dose of horror and tongue in cheek humor. Brian De Palma cleverly conjures the basic outline of Leroux's novel and add elements of his other influences making the movie a subtle yet moving tribute to the book and movies that have been added in (there is a nod to Frankenstein placed in the film). Some of the songs were pretty catchy but not sure if a re-watch will happen or not.
