[Make Them Die Slowly]

Quick heads up for people. There is an alternative version of the Poor Pretty Eddie on Talking Pictures under the title of Heartbreak Motel on at midnight.This has most of the rape and violence removed but has Shelly Winters in an anal sex scene instead!

What a decision. You lose some but then gain something else!

BODY PUZZLE
Latter day Giallo from Lamberto Bava makes its UK Blu ray debut courtesy of 88 Films' Italian Collection. The murders are suitably gruesome and performances are pretty good. Haven't seen this one since the VHS days and enjoyed it much more this time round.

WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH
Victoria Vetri takes the Raquel Welch role in this late 60s Hammer prehistoric adventure. The stop motion dinosaur effects are excellent and the whole thing is far more enjoyable than the following year's snorefest CREATURES THE WORLD FORGOT.
WB's Archive Collection Blu ray is the full uncut version and looks terrific - that final shot looks stunning!

I'm glad people are liking Cure for wellness. When I went to see it I went with lowered expectations given Gore Verbinskis track record as a director ( I still consider mousehunt as a mini masterpiece). But ultimately whatever was wrong with the film became forgivable for me as it felt fresh in a marketplace awash with conjuring knock offs. I still have no idea how they got it greenlit.

Blitz is a good enough film ... he's ably supported by Considine & Aidan Gillen is suitably fruitcakey in a British way

Some sparkling repartee as well

Enjoy!!

The Howling.(1980)
Possibly the best werewolf film ever made after An American Werewolf, of course,I find it hard to believe that this film has its detractors..It has everything you would want from an 80's horror film, cool bladder effects, naked werewolf chicks and just an who's who of B movie and exploitation film list of great actors...Ok, the humor is sort of goof ballish and not too subtle as the scene with Eddie Quist shows " I'm gonna give you a piece of my mind. I trusted you, Karen." he then pulls a piece of brain out of a bullet hole in his head, and it would not be Joe Dante film without Dick Miller gurning away and giving a couple of nuns the evil eye as he tries to sell books on witchcraft to the likes of Forry J Ackerman...And while the cast is peppered with the great and the good from past genre movies, it's John Sayles morgue attendant that gets some of the best lines in the movie "Well, he didn't just get up and walk away! "....Maybe as a kid I was more impressed with the cracking effects, which may be by today's standads a little bit antiquated but at the time what were called bladder effects, were popping up in every horror movie of the early 80's,Whether its the bubbling skin of Eddie's Quist transformation or T.C.'s severed werewolf hand returning to its human form Rob Bottin's effects still pack a visual punch, as does the decomposing visage of Eddie as he slowly rots in-between transformations..It maybe that I've been a fan of this film since I first saw on video back in the day that im pretty blind to any faults it may have, to me its the perfect genre movie mixing horror and chuckles, and its the perfect testament to Dante's filmmaking skills that after alll this time I still get enjoyment from repeated viewings...
