I unfortunately watched 'The Fall Of The Essex Boys' yesterday, it's so terrible it's almost a satire. Whoever directed this steaming pile makes Guy Ritchie look like Godard. That said, it's so ridiculously bad, I had to finish it. Hollyoaks has better acting.

Going to watch Angel Heart later to cleanse my palette.

Damn you! That's given me bad earworm which will probably keep me awake!

Psychomania (1973)

Utterly bonkers but completely brilliant British horror that packs everything but the kitchen sink into it's 90 minutes. From maniacal biker gangs terrorizing British shopping centre's to outrageous mass suicide attempts, to Nicky Henson riding his motorbike out of the depths of his grave at Avebury.

Not only that but you've got Beryl Reid and George Sanders as a couple of toffs who seem to worship a toad God in Occult ceremonies whilst inspiring Reid's son to commit suicide so he can rise again as the undead.

Look, stop reading this. Psychomania is a near impossible film to sum up in a few lines. Just go out and buy the recent BFI Blu/dvd combo and enjoy one of the maddest, baddest British genre films ever.

Sorry. Still singing Riding Free from last night's viewing of Psychomania.

Gravity. Man, don't know where to start really. I was close to turning it off throughout the first thirty minutes as it was playing havoc with my vertigo - so glad i didn't see it on the big screen. Probably would have vommed. Certainly tension filled, naturally far-fetched, and definitely vertigo inducing. A decent watch first time round. It'll be interesting to see if it stands up to multiple viewings.

Wuthering Heights (1939)

Screen greats Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon and David Niven star in this moody, Gothic tale of unrequited love.

Wonderfully atmospheric from the wind swept moors to the shadowy old dark houses even with a hint of the supernatural and a feel of loss and bleakness throughout, making this the definitive screen version of Emily Bronte's classic novel.

I generally despise period dramas and novels but Wuthering Heights is one that does intrigue me given its mention in Lovecrafts Supernatural Horror in Literature.
