It sounds a little like Open Water, which I think is brilliant and The Reef, which I really enjoyed as well.

Are they similar in atmosphere, apart from the obvious, and did you like either of those films?

I liked them both. I can't actually remember much about The Reef though.

I much prefer suspense films like them to monstrosities like Bait.

Punk kids and skin heads shout at each other from behind a door. I mean, what did they expect? Even the truly idiotic wouldn't play a White Power gig opening up with a cover of the Dead Kennedy's Nazi Punks **** Off!. Just asking for trouble.

The odd bit of grizzly violence aside this was unremarkable.

A shame you didn't like this one Dem. It was one of my viewing high-lights of last year.

In that case, it seems like something I would like. I haven't seen Bait, but it doesn't seem as if I'm missing out.

I'm also surprised you didn't like Green Room – I thoroughly enjoyed it and bought it shortly after renting it. It was the purchase that could, and should, have waited because it appeared in the sale section at HMV a couple of weeks after I bought it and I haven't even watched it yet!

I was expecting to like it just as i was Deathgasm. I saved them and watched them Christmas night and Boxing Day (night). Maybe my expectations were way too high for both films.

Matinee (1993)

Dredd (2012)

[Make Them Die Slowly]

Sacrifical Youth

This is a great little film....a hardcore punk musical about corporate sellout and Jesus reborn as an Ian McKaye like straight edge saviour of the scene battling pop punk and Satan. Worth a look if you have Amazon Prime and love that early 80s American punk sound.

Ive never got the love for trading places, while its ok just not overly keen on it.
And Dredd a good film, but also never understood hate for Judge Dredd again its not a great film but not exactly a awful film either
