Watching Day of the Dead.

Been having a bit of an Arrow and Shameless fest of late.

just finished watching Fire Down Below, Steven Seagal as an enviromental protection Agent with the worst choice in jackets trying to stop Kris Kristophison
from dumping chemical waste in the mountains. Entertaining Seagal fare but the ending went on to long. Enjoyable enough though.

Watched Walker's Man of Violence tonight - a neat little crime thriller with some decent performances, peppered with some tongue in cheek dialogue.

Th BFI Blu was pretty decent, despite some minor audio issues (the PCM Mono track is fairly quiet at times) - definitely recommended for fans of Walker and/or British crime thrillers.

Just watched Bloodletting. I love this movie. Not everyones' cup of tea but I think it's got some great dialogue and the humour is as dark as gets.

Another strange triple bill last night of Mausoleum, Cold Eyes of Fear and Undead. The first two are really hit and miss with very questionable AV quality, but I quite like Undead are some of the black humour works extremely well -- how many films will feature a pair of zombie legs walking around with half the spine protruding from the top?!

Nice trio of films Nos.

Mausoleum is pretty bad, but that doesn't stop me from liking it! If you can withstand the cheese this one can be quite fun.

As for Cold Eyes of Fear, I really like this, a decent Italian crime thriller teetering on the edge of the gialli at times. By no means a favourite of the genre, but one I can certainly re-watch and still enjoy.

Undead is quite fun, but is lacking something that makes similar zom-coms like Brain Dead and The Return of the Living Dead the fantastic films that they are.

I think my problem with Mausoleum is it was clearly one of the many Exorcist-rip-offs in which someone is possessed by a Demon in a way that just isn't frightening as it was in Friedkin's masterpiece.

I agree with what you said about The Cold Eyes of Fear, but there was an unfortunate hiss on the disc that came and went throughout the film and was quite distracting.

As for Undead, it has many moments which work really well but it doesn't hold together as a complete film and isn't consistently scary and funny in the same way that the truly brilliant horror-comedies such as Shaun of the Dead, An American Werewolf in London and Braindead are.

Caught I Saw the Devil on Blu-ray at the weekend - absolutely incredible film. In many films it feels like a giallo filtered through the traditional Korean 'cinema of vengeance'. Excellent stuff.
