I think The House by the Cemetery is just okay.

Yeah, but thankfully he only has a couple of lines. He's in Manhattan Baby and Demons too

Rewatched del Toro's Devil's Backbone via a decent upload on youtube - before you attack me for not buying it, bear in mind that I have just paid an electricity bill and am more than skint (my wife and I only have 40 hrs work per week between us). Thought it was a 7/10 film that whilst was more than decent, I personally still have no desire to buy a physical copy of (I personally prefer to keep my film collection at no more than 700 titles at any given time and it's not unusual to whittle down titles every six months so that I just keep favourites). Remembered Devil's Backbone quite well from a friend's prior dvd viewing so nothing came as much of a surprise. That friend was quite a big fan, I suspect that the plot felt quite personal to him as he had also grown up in an orphanage. Rewatching it didn't make me want to pick up a blu-ray or dvd and sorry, have to say that for me, Bayona's The Orphanage and del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth are vastly superior (in fact I'd say that PL is easily the best del Toro entry to date). Apologies to anyone irritated by my Devil's Backbone opinion or manner of watching or collecting films.

watched The Killer Shrews last night The film starts off with a captain and his assistant travelling to drop supplies off to an isolated island, the captain then notices that a hurricane is coming so unable to leave the captain is trapped on the island until the storm passes. the captain discovers that the scientist on the island is experimenting on shrews to decrease their metabolism. unfortunately the experiments have created large mutant shrews that are poisonous. now the captain and scientist and the other guests have to survive the night. it's alright, the shrews are great the acting is ok, decent soundtrack. the major issue is the how long it takes for the shrews to start the killing. 5/10

I need to do a prune/purge of my BDs at this point as I have gone over 1000 titles which I feel is slightly ridiculous The Devil's Backbone will be remaining though...
