Rewatched Bo Widerberg's Mannen på Taket (The Man on the Roof) from 1976. By far and away the best Swedish police thriller ever produced. Highly recommended!
And yes, there's an English friendly dvd release around

Watched Herschell Gordon Lewis: The Godfather of Gore (2010) and I'd say it's a great docu but you really need to watch the deleted scenes as well as there's lots more info in there.
Don't expect too much from the rare Lewis short (included as an extra) though...

There's some very exciting news in there about the "lost" An Eye for an Eye,which SWV is working on and 2 early non-Lewis gore films (Love Goddesses of Blood Island (1963) looks great!).
I can only hope these are released soon.

Tromeo and Juliet - loved it. Been on a bit of a Troma binge of late and this is one of the best I have seen. The 'twist' at the end was painfully obvious although I suspect that was the point.


Friday the 13th (original) - as good as ever. Lovely-looking bluray too.


About to pop on Halloween Resurrection (I know, I know) and order a pizza. I'm home alone tonight and even the stupidest of slashers is enough to get me unnevered when I'm in on my own. Pathetic I lnow

I watched that earlier this year and I enjoyed it too. Nice to see some non Euro Eurocrime, if you see what I mean

Just seen Simon Rumley's The Living And The Dead.

I saw his latest, Red White And Blue at Frightfest last year and it's been stuck in my mind ever since (it's getting a DVD release tomorrow actually), and TLATD is certainly cut from the same cloth.
Superbly acted, brilliantly lit and shot and deeply depressing and grim, whilst brimming with human emotions.
Heady and heavy stuff, but highly recommended.

John Carpenter's Vampires. I had seen this movie about five years ago, and quite a few scenes remained present in my head. After a rewatch of this flick this evening, I can confirm: this is a very strong Carpenter. Extremely stylish, badass vampires and vampire killers, top-notch gore (one of the masters himself: Nicotero!), great soundtrack, and really cool performances of Woods and Baldwin. Carpenter plays with nearly all the rules of a Vampire movie, and succeeds. Highly recommended!

Besides: the French Blu-ray (M6 Video) is excellent; both picture and sound are of highest quality!

Greetings!
