Carving the Sunday roast will never be the same again........

NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST (1958)

A spacecraft returning to Earth crashes and the pilot is killed. Lab tests show that his blood is okay...still living. He then returns to life and X-rays show alien embryos in his chest. The spaceship wreck shows signs that something big has also left the craft. There is an alien on the loose and shares a mental connection with the pilot. The alien plots to take over the world and it's up to the scientific team to stop it.......

Another enjoyable cheap monster movie from the 50's. I have liked this film ever since owning the super 8mm digest version. The film runs an hour and is entertaining for the whole runnning time. Trying to get a good copy of the film seems impossible as the prints always have clicks,pops,scratches and blemishes with a poor picture, but maybe that just adds to the charm of this film.

THE NIGHTCOMERS
Watched this one years ago and thought it was shit. Took a fresh look at it with Network's new blu ray release. And it's still shit.

The movie stands the test of time, apart from the awful 70s decor. The plot does rattle on at a pace although I seem to recall it being a bit more exciting when I was 15.
I'd never seen THE MEDUSA TOUCH before and, to be honest, I wasn't expecting too much, but I was really impressed. In fact, parts of it are quite 'dark' for a PG. A pleasant surprise.

Over the past couple of days, I've seen When the Wind Blows, Watership Down, The Plague Dogs and The King of Pigs, which has been a hoot… or maybe not!

I now know why they are all considered amongst the most downbeat animated films ever made. I had only seen Watership Down before – over 20 years ago – and, like then, cried at the end. Both When the Wind Blows and The Plague Dogs left me an emotional wreck.

When the Wind Blows is something else! It really stuck with me for a while after it. So crazy to think that that's what the government told people to do, and some believed in it. I've visited The Secret Bunker in Anstruther, which is an ex nuclear bunker now a tourist attraction, and it has built up models of the safe haven bunkers people were told to build in their homes. Crazy stuff!

Parallels (2014) On Netflix. A sort of updated 'Sliders'. Never heard of it before but as it passed the hour mark I began to realise it was a pilot for a series, (weather successful or not I don't know). Being a pilot it left a lot of things hanging in the air waiting for a possible greenlight. It had potential, (sort of), but I could see that if it was commissioned it wouldn't last beyond a 13 episode run.
