Gave up on zeder couldn't get into it might give another go sometime. Watching the Devils nigtmare which from the small amount I have watched I'm enjoying a lot more than zeder

Devils of Darkness (1965)

A secret vampire cult pursue an English couple on holiday in Brittany, then back to England to retrieve a golden talisman.

Unbelievably tedious British Gothic chiller without any memorable chills. Lacking any form of tension or memorable characters and boasting actors in William Sylvester and Hubert Noel who hammer it home how charismatic Cushing, Lee, Price etc really are. After a promising occult opening sequence the film just meanders along. By the mid point i'd actually forgotten i was watching a horror film.

Lance Comfort, a director with 43 previous credits didn't make any more films after this. Wonder why?

House of mortal sin

A nutty priest is recording confessions and then using the recordings to blackmail people into letting him help them. When they refuse or simply annoy him he heads out and murders them. This one carries the similar dark and nasty tone of house of whipcord and Frightmare and makes a few interesting observations on the catholic church between the mayhem.

Home before midnight

Perhaps a film that's a little too close to home post-saville and yewtree. The film deals with a songwriters sexual relationship with a 14 year old girl and the resulting legal fallout. A little too soft focus and schmaltzy for my tastes and given the actual abuse cases from the 70's involving celebrities then the fairly graphic sex scenes are more than a little uncomfortable.

The unborn

Roger corman produces a take on the Larry Coen ITS ALIVE pictures. Brooke Adams plays a woman desperate for a child. She goes to Dr Richard Mayerling's (Return of the living dead's James Karen's) fertility clinic and successfully becomes pregnant. However this being a horror, naturally something is wrong with the child.
The unborn is a trashy yet entertaining pot-boiler that never manages to be as successful as Larry Cohen's killer baby movies. Mainly because Cohen simply asks what's going to happen to unborn kids with how we are polluting the air, Unborn however takes a massive swipe at IVF which feels a little distasteful given how many people the process has helped. Also, the ITS ALIVE pictures are generally better made. That said The unborn is worth watching, it may be trashy nonsense but it's entertaining nonetheless.
Also, look out for an early pre-friends Lisa Kudrow as a receptionist.

Unborn 2

A direct sequel to the Corman picture without Brooke Adams. A young woman with a mutant baby is hiding out in suburbia, meanwhile another woman who was also a patient of Mayerling's is hunting down the kids and killing them one by one to prevent them from growing up to destroy the world. Like the first movie, unborn 2 is a lurid, trashy piece of nonsense saved by virtue of it being a lot of fun. Ups the ante in terms of gore and has some decent performances.

Blood Glacier

A group of climate change scientists discover a recently uncovered blood-red glacier. The stuff in it has the abiltiy to fuse DNA and create hybrid monsters. Pretty soon the team are fending off a variety of well realised mutant creatures.
Blood Glacier feels like the set up for a much bigger movie. The idea is interesting even if the plot is somewhat sleight. I really dug the creature FX which actually looks practical and this is one film I really hope gets a sequel as I feel there's even more interesting ideas than can be explored with the material

I thought it was a prescient and thought-provoking film because of the 'which side are you on?' approach, almost forcing you to sympathise with the rock star who unwittingly began a sexual relationship with an underage girl, but didn't end it when he found out her real age. The media hounding and the way his career was ruined before any conviction is the same now as it was in the film and it's interesting how Pete Walker was way ahead of his time.

It's a complicated issue for sure, still it was in my head while watching the film so I thought worth mentioning. Certainly Walker does not portray it as an abusive relationship. Part of the problem is I may be watching it with modern eyes.

You're starting to act like me now, Dem...

A scary thought indeed: please get yourself checked out by a professional psychologist.

Posting was a bit weird yesterday evening, they took ages to show when i clicked post....i must have been getting impatient and double posted. :lol:

PIN -
I picked this up for £2.50 after watching the trailer and thinking it may be one of those 'hidden gem' slasher movies lost in the torrent of brilliant titles from that era. I was wrong. (If you haven't seen the film my review may spoil it, skip this and watch the movie first. You have been warned)

The trailer leads us to believe that PIN is alive and possible actually murdering at the wishes of the main character 'Leon' and it leaves us with this phrase 'Some friendships don't last' and we see a blurry images of an axe wielding killer bringing said axe to lunch with Leon's head... But when we watch the film we understand that PIN is most certainly not alive and this is not a slasher movie as the trailer may have lead us to believe. It's a thriller.

Leon is a well thought out character and played very well by actor Davit Hewlett, but it's a slow burner of a movie with a strangley satisfying ending if not a little cheesy.

Worth £2.50 but I'm not sure it's got a repeat viewing in it. and once your mates know PIN is not an accessory to the film you have lost your interesting conversation piece.

*Incidentally i couldn't get the commentary track to work on my laptop or PC?

was going to watch this last night but got to late, so will be watching it tonight

Devils nightmare
The story starts at the end of world 2 with birth of a nazi officers daughter. Jump forward 20 odd years and a group of tourists are forced to seek shelter when the route to where they are going is blocked. A strange man recommends a nearby castle for them to spend the night. There they are welcomed by the German officer and his staff. As usual in these films the tourist are none to bright, when they arrive the castle door shuts itself and when they are led to there rooms they are told of the murders that have taking places in each room( by this point I would of got on the bus and gone back the way I came) Not long after a red headed woman arrives who we soon find out she is a succubus and ends up punishing the tourist for there sins. Not very scary but we have one disgusting scene with one of the toursits eating. But it's very atmospheric and entertaining. 9/10

Lost boys

I know some people despise this film but it's one of my favourites, it's a lot of fun with a group of likable characters and it has a great soundtrack. 9.5/10


Danger diabolik

Another fantastic bava film that had not seen before involving the adventures thief diobolik and his girlfriend. Great 60s soundtrack,terry Tomas car chases,and fantastic sets with diiaboliks lare putting the bat cave to shame. One groove film. 9/10

Edit
Now watching blood glacier followed by one of my favourites if not my favourite horrors the devil rides out

Recent viewing.

Streets of fire .

A old personal favourite of mine in era when films WHERE films and concentrated on making films that where watchable and enjoying a era where there so many films you wanted to watch but couldn't keep up with them.
Not like today' standards where there only a hand full that you want to watch, and thinking if they have money actors and CGI they think their on to a winner ... St of fire is a prime eg that proves the point they just don't make films as good as they use to. Everything about this film is great story acting action and keeps you interested all the time.Also directed by same person who made the warriors another personal fav of mine I watch every yr.
I do think tho that Walter Hill in his hey day was a great writer and director .
But sadly like few nowadays and Argento being one them his latest lot of films have been major let downs and if they keep up the type they been making then they should quite while their ahead. Also it got a great sound track.

ABC of deaths 2
Like all films where there sev stories they have good and bad points .
I really just didn't take this as much as the first one I felt bored and disinterested
couldn't help thinking some where rubbish dull and boring and could have been better.
Few animated and a couple of subtitled as well

A I highly enjoyed type that makes these films enjoyable
D was very weird strange and random and Great at same time love these type of stories .
G. Was kinda what the heck
J the creatures I thought would fit right in as a Dr who enemy .
K was bit pointless
L was terrible and CGI was awfull
R wasnt up to much
T wouldn't be out of place in Tokyo gore police .


Some guy who kills people

I enjoyed this a black and dark humour horror with a bit if a twist towards the end


See no Evil 2

As a stand alone film Worthy of a watch but not as a sequel not as good as the first one
Also the gore and violence is there but its a bit on the slim side and not much of it .


Despicable me

Never got round to watching this wish I had I enjoyed it so much looking forward to the watching the 2nd one
Funny and entertaining.


22 jump St

It was OK in some parts but as whole just didn't do it for me


Signs

Why had Inever seen this film before only downfall was could been tadge longer at the end kinda felt ended to soon and could have had bit more happening .

The Sweeney (2012)

Talk about mixed feelings whilst watching a film. I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or just plain old enjoy this recent reworking of a classic seventies tv series.

Despite the best efforts of director Nick Love and stars Ray Winstone, Ben Drew and Damien Lewis i just never felt this worked as The Sweeney. Sure it's violent, gritty and very sweary but it's also plain daft, with Winstone's now cartoon like Cockney charisma an embarrassment. Every time the words Regan, Carter, and Flying Squad came out of Winstone's mouth i cringed, when he snarled "We're the Sweeney...you're nicked" i almost spat out my drink.

However if you scratch away all The Sweeney elements you are left with a decent old school cop film about an overweight, old style copper struggling to adjust to modern day policing and coming into conflict about the handling of a bank robbery with Internal Affairs.

Despite my criticism of Winstone as Regan he plays this rather well, as does his younger partner Carter as played by Ben Drew, a youthful officer who will surely end up on the other side of prison bars sooner or later.

Director Nick Love (The Firm, Outlaw, The Football Factory) has made a career out of this type of film and it shows well here with some intense gun fights in the London streets especially one in Trafalgar Square and a crazy car chase through a caravan park.

Interestingly the car chase was actually done by the Top Gear team with Clarkson, Hammond and May credited as stunt drivers. This sequence was integrated into that show during episode 3 of series 18 and has a decent making of on the dvd as well.

All in all there's no way i can recommend The Sweeney as it's dreadful in it's execution of what it's supposed to be - a seventies cop show redux.

Everything you said there I agree with, (except the highlighted sections) tried seeing it twice and each time totally lost interest in it. Wife liked it but for me it just isn't 'The Sweeny' Mine you having seen the Top Gear episode in which they filmed the caravan park scene hasn't help my evaluation of the film.

The devil rides out.

For me my favourite hammer film and one if not my favourite horrors. One of the best films to deal with the devil and the occult helped by a great cast and script. A true classic 10/10

Blood glaicer

Have to agree with everything keirarts said in his review. Story was lacking but the special effects are top notch and is nice to see someone using traditional effects instead of CGI. Can see that it was influenced a lot by the thing. Also hope there is a sequel with how it was left open it gives a lot of potential for any sequel. 7.5/10

Continuing my October horror marathon with another favourite and classic the exorcist.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (1990)

Thought I would check out the original live action film again. Fun entertainment with good animatronic turtle suits and Splinter puppet by Jim Henson's workshop guys. A couple of cringe worthy moments such as April's screaming when she see's the turtles for the first time and the baby turtles seen in flashback but overall still enjoyable and a reminder once more of a time before CGI.

Watched a fascinating doc last night on the BBC called The Gatekeepers (2012), about Isreal's secret security services and their role in the context of the Isreali-Palestinian conflict since 1967 and featuring candid interview about their time and actions as heads of the security service.

10/10.

I remember having a pirate copy of this on VHS from the US release before it came out at the cinema over here. I was about 7 or 8 and watched it again and again and again until I knew every frame off by heart. When I saw it at the cinema I was shocked at how different the film was to how I had previously experienced it due to the BBFC's nunchuka anxiety (although I didn't know that at the time, obviously) with whole shots being removed. Odd to think I'd become aware of cutting in films aged 8!

Kick the Cock (2008) - A Tinto Brass short that goes a little further than usual for a Brass picture, (at least the ones I've seen anyway), Starring Brass himself it once again is a case of a bare arse every other shot.......and Brass' prosthetic knob getting some self service!

From 1960 - part 2

The Magnificent Seven - Hmm! A classic no doubt but it really didn't do anything for me, mine you I was fighting sleep at the time so that didn't help.

La Dolce Vita - I've seen a few Fellini movies in my wander down cinematic history and as yet to find one that I actually like. This sad to say joins the other that I've seen. Classic though it may be it failed to hold my attention and I ended up splitting the picture into two sittings.

The Appartment - Winner of the Best picture Oscar for 1960 and also the BAFTA Best film from any source. It was also the final picture made in B&W to win the Academy Best Picture award until Schindler's List in 1993.

Flaming Star - The first Presley film of the year is a western with only one song in it, actually a pretty good movie. It also stars Barbara Eden in a role that was originally supposed to star Barbara Steele but because of the latters accent studio execs decided against her.

G.I. Blues - The second Presley movie is a full on musical with Juliet Prowse who has one of the greatest pair of legs in cinema! I found myself tapping my foot to the music.

Carry on Constable - Another early entry, (ooher missus), in the Carry On franchise. This one introducing Sid James to the series.

Breathless - Jean-Luc Goddards first feature length picture and the birth of the French New wave genre.

Elmer Gantry - Based on the controversial novel by Sinclair Lewis, this stars Burt Lancaster as a conman/preacher who takes up with Jean Simmon's evangelist. Lancaster gives a great performance.

Psycho - Haven't seen this in years and TBH wasn't that impressed when I did originally see it, but this time around I gained a new appreciation for this classic, and on blu it really does stand out.

Spartacus - Kubrick and Douglas' epic tale of the slave rebellion led by the Thracian Spartacus that occurred during Romes Republic. Starring four of cinemas greatest actors, Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton and Peter Ustinov. Controversial in that it was Dalton Trumbo who wrote the screenplay based on Howard Fast's novel. Both had been dragged before the HUAC and both ended up having been jailed and then blacklisted in Hollywood. This movie went some way to counteract that, although Hedda Hopper urged everyone not to see the movie.

Tarzan the Magnificent - Gordon Scott's final film as Tarzan, its a bit of a drag really. Tarzan escorts a prisoner through the jungle and swamps chased by the prisoners family led by John Carradine. Ironically the prisoner is played by Jock Mahoney who would be cast as Tarzan in the next two movies.

The Pure Hell Of St Trinians - The third in the series shifts the 'action' away from the school to Arabia! where the sixth formers are kidnapped by Sid James to be part of a sheik's harem. Again starring George Cole and a fare few British stars from other popular franchises/studios at the time.

I don't think Schindler's List qualifies as a black-and-white film because the opening and closing scenes are in colour. A year or two ago, we played a game of Scene It at Christmas and the question of which was the last B&W film to win the Best Picture Oscar came up and I said The Apartment. The answer on the card was Schindler's List but I argued it wasn't because of the colour sequences so my parents gave me the point!

The Apartment is a wonderful film: funny, touching and with great performances across the board.

Thinking on it your right, although I havent seen it would 'The Artist' now be the last B&W to win the Oscar?

You're right, but we played this game before The Artist was released!

From Wikipedia:

It was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won five, including Best Picture for Langmann, Best Director for Hazanavicius, and Best Actor for Dujardin, making him the first French actor ever to win for Best Actor. It was also the first French film to ever win Best Picture, and the first mainly silent film to win since 1927's Wings won at the 1st Academy Awards in 1929. It was also the first film presented in the 4:3 aspect ratio to win since 1953's From Here to Eternity. Additionally, it was the first black-and-white film to win since 1993's Schindler's List, though that film contained limited colour sequences; it was the first 100% black-and-white film to win since 1960's The Apartment.

I was curious to check this one out when I saw it on Dem's Top 100 horror films of all time list for the upcoming Cult Labs Members' Top 100 Horror Films community list. As you all know Dem has eclectic taste when it comes to horror; the gothic, gialli, genre classics, and straight to video cheapies all adorn his favourites and with me being always on the lookout for new stuff to watch; my mentality being I'm pretty much game for anything cinema wants to throw at me, this film posed an interesting opportunity.

Despite being curious, I was also wary. Early 2000s US teen horrors (especially ones I had never heard of least of all seen) didn't usually factor very well within my cynical, jaded (albeit open minded) perspective on modern US horror cinema. I therefore adjusted my expectations accordingly and with trembling hands and a lump in my throat inserted the disc into my player and mentally prepared to sharpen my pitchfork to pierce Dem's pale, supple man-flesh.

The intro hooked me immediately as a crazed professor and his collection of ritual artifacts brains one of his students with a staff (incidentally one I'd love hanging on my wall - the staff I mean, not the student although I'm not fussy). The subsequent ten minutes during a sorority hazing and a group of annoying teens scoring insult points off of one another saw fervent mental pitchfork sharpening, however once the film gets going and the establishment of which horror caricature each member of the 'pretty' cast is, the film sets off in its stride and despite being nothing fantastically original is a highly entertaining tale of possession by the hospital bed bound professor astrally projecting his revenge on the teens who took his book of incantations and left him for dead whilst on a scavenger hunt to get into their sorority of choice. The teens are then trapped with the professor's spirit in a 'haunted' house on Halloween.

There is a fair amount of nudity too (it's easy to see why Dem likes this film so much now :tongue1: ;)) and some nice demon possession effects with a strong vein of cheddar to all the proceedings, where nothing is taken too seriously by the cast in as much you can enjoy the ride with them, rather than at their expense - the latter being quite often the case with a lot of these sort of films unfortunately, which makes this film all the more refreshing in that respect.

Overall, I was mildly surprised with what was on offer here and sat back and enjoyed the ride right up to the predictable lame pre-ending and then the less lame more fun kind of ending.

Another stellar recommendation from our resident raven. :pop2:

I was also intrigued by this title,, so another recommendation is all I need to buy or rent it forthwith – thanks both!

Sounds good will have to have a look at this one.


The exorcist

Even after all these years it still has the power to shock. Well acted with interesting and likable charcters. Still one of the finest if not the best film about possession. The image of father merrin standing outside the house is one of many fantastic scenes in this movie and one of the most well knowing scenes in horror. Simple but oh so effective. A true classic 10/10

Abominable

We have Matt McCoy who ends up going back to where his wife died as part of his therapy. Not long after a group of young women arrive at the cabin next door. We also find out about the legend of a Bigfoot type monster. Said monster goes about killing the young women so a this point the film turns into a slasher with big foot as the killer. We had some interesting kills especially the one were Bigfoot gets nearly the whole head of one very annoying victim in his mouth and takes a bite. also have genre legends Lance henriksen and Jeffery Combs who are sadly underused. Not what I was expecting but a lot better than some Bigfoot movies. 7.5/10

Depending on time tonight's viewings are tragic ceremony, exorcist 2 and deathline

:faint:

Great review B_E.

Glad you enjoyed it. Although i'm a little worried about you wanting to pierce my pale, supple man-flesh.

Don't be scared, Dem. You managed to avoid the piercing... at least this time. ;)

THE MOTH DIARIES. Having recently discovering that Dem is in fact a masturbating 14 year old boy on another thread, I have also discovered that he is also an angst ridden 16 year old girl based on this film and his recommendation of it. This is a goth lite affair that passes the time easily enough but is lacking in something I can't quite put my finger on. Worth a look as an alternative to TWILIGHT and it's clones.

THE WATCH. Piss poor comedy/alien invasion film. Packed with knobs jokes, something I normally find endlessly funny but this left me laughter free. I would like to think this reflects a new found sophistication within me but on reflection it is just a poor film with poor knob jokes.

BATMAN UNDER THE RED HOOD. Fairly brutal animated film that sees Bats face up to his own past and it's repercussions in the present. Excellent stuff and recommended.

ALMOST HUMAN. Excellent backwoods alien invasion film that really is something quite special. Grungy and dank in look and mood, this is well worth a look. Recommended.

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to add you to my ignore list for this statement. [emoji14] (Kidding of course) That's one of the many reasons why I love film. It's so subjective. What might resonate with me may have no effect on the next person.

I can see his genius but for some reason I can't seem to appreciate it!

Exorcist 2

Not hard too see why this gets such bad press, it has some dreadful overactng the scene with the girl who talks again is a fine example, Burton seems to be sleepwalking through most of the movie and add to that some Poor dialogue, a poor script at times and a dreadful and stupid last act. If you compare it to the original it fails miserably.

But it's not all bad Louise fletcher is good as always and enjoyed the flashback scenes with father merrin in Africa. Dispite all it's bad points I actually enjoyed it for what it was, a cheap cash in on the original. There are far worse movies out there. 6.5/10

My biggest problem with the film is how the hell did they keep that dove coop so clean, shiny and shit free!

The Chameleon - a dramatic re-telling of the same story covered in the recent(ish) documentary called 'The Imposter' (seemingly with a few artistic liberties taken). If you have seen neither film, I would strongly suggest seeking out 'The Imposter' first but 'The Chameleon' is a well made and acted account of what is a fascinating tale. If you see it cheap (I got my copy from Poundland), this is worth a look.

Two Evil Eyes - first time I have watched this in a long time but my opinion is pretty much the same ... Romero's segment is woefully overlong (like an extended episode of 'Tales from the Crypt') and Argento's 'The Black Cat' is a mess, despite some nice visual touches and a decent performance from Harvey Keitel. Overall, palatable enough but I can see myself leaving it equally as long before watching it again.

The Haunting of Bates Motel. (2013)

A film with a fairly original storyline that utilizes the location of The original Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride Halloween visitor attraction. A scary theme park which opens just during October for the Halloween season.

The film is well acted for a low budget movie and features some classic horror kills such as death by combine harvester, death by band saw etc. Unfortunately the film lacks blood. I seem to be going through a few of these recently. Well made low budget films that forget to add the gory reasons we we watch these films for. Madison County is another example of this. Perhaps the film makers blew all the budget filming at the Hayride attraction rather than on visual effects.

Should anyone be visiting Pennsylvania in the next couple of weeks then the Haunted Hayride looks a hell of a place to spend your Halloween. However the film itself is not bad but hardly essential viewing.

THE GHOST WALKS (1934)

A car carrying a stage producer and a playwright get stranded in a storm and a forced to take refuge in a old house. One of the women in the house has contact with her dead husband and the spirits and says that her husband's murderer is one of the group in the house. It's all a sham, a ploy by the playwright to set up his play 'The Ghost Walks'. Trouble is now, guests are starting to disappear and there is a real maniac on the loose.....

Fun poverty row murder mystery. Crashing thunderstorms, eyes moving in pictures, lots of screaming....
Played mostly for laugh's and clocking in at an hour in length, this films perfect for a rainy afternoon's viewing.

Two-Lane Blacktop (1971)

I was really looking forward to seeing Monte Hellman's existential masterpiece of a road movie. I love road movies. From Easy Rider, Vanishing Point, The Straight Story, through comedies such as Road Trip to Plains Trains and Automobiles.

Universal's answer to Easy Rider just doesn't come close to matching that film's nihilistic view of the late sixties. Although occasionally arresting the film is, on the whole, interminably boring. Minutes go past without a word uttered, the nameless characters just drive through the American backwaters, catching up with a young girl drifter and Warren Oates in his bright yellow GTO for tedious, unexciting, and worse still uninvolving race sequences.

Perhaps i wasn't in the right frame of mind for Two Lane Blacktop after just seeing the Aronofsky masterpiece that is Black Swan.

Wasn't your frame of mind Dem, it's just a borefest of a film with no redeeming qualities. I mean it wasn't like it even had beautiful cinematography or artistic merit to assure its cult status, yet somehow it has it.

The Funhouse - Tobe Hooper
I had no idea this film was by Tobe Hooper to be honest, i enjoyed the trailer and thought i'd give it a shot. The film feels short and has a bunch of plot holes that leaves room for some serious improvement. apparently Eli Roth is planning a remake? i'm not sure this film needs one.

The creature is well acted and the claustrophobic set is enough to keep you from pulling the film and sticking i on the 'trade's thread'. Worth a watch if your stuck for anything else.

The town that dreaded sundown -(youtube, 1976 version)
I saw this film cover over in the VHS thread and thought it looked good. It's currently on youtube which is a bonus as the vhs/Blu Ray set's are a little expensive to get in the UK. The film is a contender for a serous horror movie based on a real event however it has the strangest moments of slapstick comedy? ? ? it's so strange to see the two styles together? so one moment we see a murder based on factual event's from real police evidence then the next moment we have a police officer called 'Spark Plug' driving the chief of police and a Texas ranger past a crime scene, up a ramp and into a small lake? it's almost surreal?

anyway give this movie a watch if you enjoy crime stories then maybe head over to good old reliable Wikipedia to get some facts about the real crimes as a companion to the film. Very interesting and possible worth a re watch in the future.

I sat and watched Funhouse last night too, only seen it once before and wasn't that impressed so thought i'd give it another shot.
On the plus side i liked the opening with it's shades of the Halloween intro and Psycho shower scene, and i always love it when you have some horror obsessed kids bedroom with his figure and mask collection (ie Salems lot and friday 13th part 4.),oh and boobs too,so good start in my opinion.:nod:

Liked the fairground setting and freakshow scenes, which i always find a good setting for horror. The funhouse itself is well realised atmospheric and interestingly lit but then i think hooper stumbles with his characters, the family are non entities with the only one really making an impact is the creature who has nice make up, but a bad hairdo that kinda spoils the effect and had me thinking of zelda from terrahawks.!?:loco:

The victims wandering about was a bit scooby doo, and they seem content to do pretty much nothing while waiting to be killed, although i did like the kid who sneaked out and is very aware of his sisters predicament, the scene where the girl is calling to her parents but they can't hear was good i thought.

The family bickering is sub-par Texas Chainsaw and pretty dull, the kills are unspectacular and seem far too restrained, but i did like the lighting of the scene in the air duct,tunnel with the fan throwing shadows as the creature approaches.
So all in all a mixed bag, like Vipp says worth keeping but it's never gonna be a favourite.
6/10 :pop2:

Are you there?

Dear god in heaven this has to be one of the worst piles of shite I have seen in a long time. Dreadful acting, poor script, direction and camerawork. Charcters with the personality of a plank of wood and as scary as a episode of scooby doo. 2.5/10

Death line

A hidden gem. About people being taking on the London underground by a Cannibal. Very unnerving and disturbing with some good acting. The real highlight here is Donald Pleasence wondeful character inspector "get a hair cut" Calhoun, every scene with him is a joy to watch. Nether have the words " mind the doors" been so unnerving . 9/10

Tonight's viewings the exorcist 3 and shivers
