It's Alive 3 - The lesser of the 3 films in my opinion, this one is more action packed than the other 2 but isn't quite as engaging. Still good fun though and features a great unhinged performance from Michael Moriarty.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Have to admit that I enjoyed this when I watched it at the cinema and did so again on blu ray. Not everyone's cup of teaI know but if you want a daft, effects-lead action film you could do worse (although they could've easily cut a good half hour). Also, it's the best looking blu ray I've seen so far!

Weird, I thought I'd just posted on this thread but nothing has appeared so I'll post again and apologies if my original post reappears, or I placed it in the wrong thread.

"The Last Lovecraft". The idea of a comedy based on the writing of H.P. Lovecraft doesn't sound like the most promising thing, and guess what, it ain't. This film lacks any tension in it's horror or it's comedy leaving the viewer feeling that it worked much better in the mind of the writer as he scrawled the script out over a drunken weekend. May shoggoths devour all involved.

Watched The Gravedancers last night.

Originally part of the 2006 After Dark Horrorfest 8 Films to Die For.

Although never a classic, the Gravedancers is an effective little ghost story.The story centres on three friends who spend a night drinking and fooling around in a graveyard to celebrate their recently deceased friends life.
Unbeknown to them they have disturbed the spirits on whose graves they danced and all hell breaks loose.

I found it refreshing as the main protagonists in the film are not the usual high school idiots, but rather well rounded adults. The film is certainly well acted with excellent camera work, good location filming, superb production values and lush musical scores.

Kudos must go to the creature/ghost designers whose creations are extremely effective and rise above the poor CGI monsters in most other indiependant movies.

All in all if you enjoyed Poltergeist, The Legend of Hell House and The Evil Dead, then The Gravedancers is probably just up your street.

The film stars Dominic Purcell (Prison Break), Claire Kramer (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Thirst) and the always watchable Tcheky Karyo (The Core, Bad Boys, Dobermann)

Sounds good -- I'll add it to my Lovefilm rental queue and then see if it's worth buying.

I'd second that, the original is amazing. Can't comment on the remake as I've not seen it
