Teenagers From Outer Space (1959) When I stop laughing .... I'll write a review. The most uptight aliens I've seen outside Farscape invade Earth. Hilarity ensues. Ophelia I can hear though so if I get cut off you'll have to excuse me ahem !!

The Snowman Michael Fassbender plays detective Harry Hole investigating a killer with a penchant for killing people with a device like the one in Argento's Trauma. Harry is a drunk and somewhat troubled but he's a good detective so he begins tracking the killer who strikes when the snow is falling and leaves a snowman at his crime scenes. A solid serial killer flick for people who like Nordic Noir. Its well paced and reasonable gripping. My only real complaint was Val Kilmer. Apparently he's been struggling with throat cancer. They've had to dub him and they have done a real half arsed job doing it. Its genuinely jarring when he opens his mouth and I suddenly think I'm playing a psone game. |

I had a Mario Bava penciled in for the weekend but the only thing that was spinning in the player was the second series of Thomas the Tank Engine which my 2-year old daughter has recently discovered. But lovely to watch her thrilled by the sight of David Mitton's model trains coming down the track. It's kinda fitting that I've been rediscovering Thomas this weekend, I've also been rediscovering Blur's 1993 album Modern Life is Rubbish, the tenuous connection being the album cover which features a Mallard steam engine. I need to investigate those BFI Transport films next !

Dr. Terrors house of horror 1965 Five men in a rail carriage are told their fortune by a mysterious man Dr Shreck. This film was made by the rival company of Hammer movies Amicus, this one is enjoyable and atmospheric. Peter Cushing plays the role of Dr Schreck very well and can be creepy. Even though the title says "house of horror", its what Dr Schreck calls his tarrot cards. Each story has a fantastical or supernatural twist. The stories are as follows: Jim Dawson (Neil McCallum )travels to his old Scottish family home as the new owner wants some work done discovers a secret involving a werewolf. bill Rogers (Allan Freeman) returns home to find a strange plant in his garden that will kill anything in its path. Biff Bailey (Roy Castle) travels to the West Indies and discovers voodoo can have a nasty effect. Franklyn Marsh (Christopher Lee) a art critic who takes out a act of revenge which comes back to haunt him. Bob Carroll (Donald Sutherland) marries a French woman who is hiding a dark secret. This is one to watch with the lights out 8 out of 10.

I agree with you Almar, Vault of Horror is next on my list to watch, that one was darker and more atmospheric. V/H/S trilogy and The Theatre Bizarre and the best anthology movies recently the latest one i saw XX was a bit disappointing.
