Red room

what a terrible and awful film who comes up with ideas for crap like this

Low budget went beyond that, The bloke i wanted to torture himself for being such a wimp and doing nowt but apologise all the way through ...
even for a low budget film could still have been better ...

Fright Night (2011) - against all my expectations I thought this was not at all bad. Even more against my expectations, Colin Farrell did not annoy me, and David Tennant only annoyed me slightly. A remake better than most.

Watched Messiah Of Evil last night and it was.....interesting.
I have to say my opinion was probably affected by the shitty pan and scan VHS transfer and appualling audio.
Whilst the film explains nothing, you almost feel as though you understand it. Very atmospheric, and eerie, especially the bit with the father.

The House by the Cemetary: The poorest of Fulci's 'Gate's of Hell Trilogy' but still a prity good slasher flick. Does this even count as a Giallo? B

Mother of Tears - finally got round to watching this last night and to be honest I thought it was pretty good, not in the same league as Suspiria but not bad none the less. The ending was pretty poor!

The Slayer - 80's classic, will pop full review of this in the review thread later.

Tonight's viewing from the North Sea will be The Sect & if not too tired Police Story.

The whole movie plays like a collection of someone's nightmares strung together with a very loose plot, personally I love the movie. Best way to see it is the Code red release, if you E-mail Bill he might even have one or two left at a far more reasonable price than on-line. Its widescreen and has a supurb transfer, it looks and sounds amazing.

As for FRIGHT NIGHT (2011). Sorry I thought it was fairly bad, not dreadful but let down by poor quality CGI and the fact the new gerry dandridge has no familiar and just goes nuts when he's uncovered rather than play mindgames.

Last night I watched the new JOE CARNAHAN movie THE GREY.

Supurb, poetic and beautifully shot tale of a hunter hired to shoot wolves at a remote alaskan oil-rig. Despite being sucidely depressed he refuses to just die. On a plane trip home the plane crashes and he must protect the survivors from the wolves that begin hunting them and guide them through the wilderness.

Really, really good movie.

Would try, but i think my Dad is completely over buying things over the Internet for me after our credit cards getting hacked 4 times and a couple of problems with Amazon uk and order cancelations and per orders and everything.

If I wanted to watch it again a dvdr of the code red transfer would suffice
If anyone's willing

Watched the Arrow BD of this last night too. Agree that it's the weakest of the three and I actually found myself getting a little bored and restless during it (about the 3rd time I've seen it). I do still like it, just not sure I was in the right mood last night. Looking forward to the extras though!

It's about as Giallo as City of the Living Dead or The Beyond. I think Arrow's previous Masters of Giallo (Masters of Gialli surely?) was more a reference to the director than the film to be honest.
