What Films Have You Seen Recently?

[J Harker]

Ironically they were always bloody extortionate, but for a long long time they were the only dedicated entertainment store we had in town.

I bought the babycart series, only ever saw the first two before just finished watching the third babycart to hazes, I know the films are just entertaining daft ott nonsense etc, but come on the ending where he took over 75 people on was just way to ott and silly for my likings, kind of ruined it a bit for me .

If you think that they're "ott and silly" don't think about watching the old "Zatoichi" series, especially the "Zatoichi meets the One Armed Swordsman"!

Both me and my friend Adam were dropping serious demands on the poor bloke from ARROW at Grimm up north to release it on BLU.

I have the R1 Anchor bay release and I think i'll watch it tonight!!!


Good reviews as always Frankie. If you liked Superstition may I recommend seeking out the John Hough directed THE INCUBUS. I discovered both films around the same time back in my teenage years of rooting through cardboard boxes at boot fairs looking for interesting horror titles. Scorpion have released the incubus recently in an affordable release on the Katerina label.

Thanks for the support. I've seen 'The Incubus' and remember quite liking it - I'll have to check it out again soon.

Our price was always the last resort shop for me.

Never seen any of Zatoichi films wouldn't mind.

Rosemary's Baby UK BD

As masterful as ever. The BD looks nice and natural with some great colours, shame there's no extras though. This film has aged so well it's quite unbelievable to think it was released in 1968 and set in in 1965/66...perhaps the affluent Manhattan setting helps in this respect. Many films of more recent vintage seem quaint, corny or unintentionally amusing nowadays but after nearly five decades Rosemary's Baby does not suffer from this.....even the surreal sequence of the baby's conception retains it's effectivity. The moral ambiguity, nuance, atmosphere and Rosemary's gradual discovery of the truth all contribute to making this an enduring piece of cinematic storytelling that will hopefully stand the test of time for another 50 years.

Next up Mia's sisters magnum opus Anthropophagous

Ban the Sadist Videos

Even more jaw-dropping than Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide . Evilspeak had scenes of DOS computer commands on a monochrome monitor cut??
