If they do a sequel, I'll watch it. |

That will have you squirming with discomfort. I really like that too. |

Yeah, that one's pretty good. Again, very much a back brain button pusher. I'm beginning to think that really raw revenge flicks do a good service - they remind us that there are less civilised parts of us, no matter who we think we are and what we think we believe in.

Christmas Horror Marathon #3 Terror Night (1987) Lance Hayward, a presumed dead silent screen star returns to his old home in the Hollywood Hills and murders anyone he comes across in the style of his old movies. Terror Night would make a terrific double bill with Fade to Black (1980) as both movies pay homage to the golden days of the silver screen and both are a lot of fun. Lots of old stars have cameos in Terror Night - Alan Hale, John Ireland, Aldo Ray, Cameron Mitchell and Dan Haggerty, making it feel something a little more special than it actually is. We also get the usual bunch of idiots, sorry young people, headed by Michelle Bauer, who are all ripe for slaughter. Not that the old stars survive either. There is blood, lots of it, and some fairly inventive deaths, thankfully the movie has no pretentions other than what it is - a good old fashioned slasher movie in love with Hollywood and the silent screen.

I reviewed 'Harry Brown' this year, but I can't remember much about it apart from that I liked it and that, yes, it's another one which doesn't exactly suggest that we should all just sit down and talk it all through. The setting and the theme of old cockneys hitting back hard are in parallel with WSKTOW, and I vaguely recall it too being well made, fast paced and satisfyingly violent.

However you cut it, they are both great films though WSKTOW wins it for me as it is pure in its exploitation. |
