The Shrine (2010) A group of American journalists go to a village in Poland to search for a backpacker who has mysteriously gone missing. Upon arrival they find a place steeped in stories of strange cults and human sacrifice. I really enjoyed this film. One of the best i've seen from the last few years. The film is undeniably derivative making me think of The Wicker Man and Hostel Part 2 among others with echoes of Bava's Mask of Satan thrown in. After a slowish start which enables us to get to know the four journalists the pace picks up with the discovery of a strange mist on the outskirts of the village, and within it a grotesque statue. These scenes are beautifully done and an eerie atmosphere at once bleeds from the screen. The Shrine is classified 18 which had me mystified throughout until we arrived at the climax when all hell breaks loose and the bloody sfx come into their own. The creature design is thankfully all prosthetic and the devillish dudes look really effective. Highly recommended. Last edited by Demdike@Cult Labs; 8th April 2013 at 08:59 PM. |

Dr Jekyll vs the werewolf. Second on the code red double bill is one of the better Naschy waldamar daninsky werewolf films. Here a young couple visiting transylvania get mugged by local thugs and daminsky wades in to save them. Unfortuntaley the girls new hubbie dies, but thats ok bacause she quickly falls for ol' daninsky himself like most women in these films! Things start to get tense thanks to a pitchfork weilding mob so waldemar and the new missus head to london where they enlist the help of Henry Jekyll in a bid to cure waldemar of the curse. Things dont go according to plan and soon theres a hyde'd up daninsky terrorising 70's soho! Great fun, theres some print damage but the films a hell of a lot of good fun with some fairly nasty death scenes and a bit of kinky sadism thrown in as well. |
