Like Nosferatu i also thought the story told in flashback from Theron's perspective meant a lack of suspense as it was clear however many frenetic fight sequences they threw into the mix, she obviously came out unscathed. |

As for Nosferatu (I'm assuming the original), I always felt it was like a retelling of a bad dream, so the flashback structure works for me.

I thought it was weird that you'd bring up a 1922 film when discussing Atomic Blonde, but I thought I'd entertain you.

December 30th - The Limehouse Golem (2016) Following a series of murders in the Limehouse area of London the police think it's the result of a mythical Golem. This Victorian pre-Ripper murder mystery was absolutely nothing like i expected. Twisty and turny with more red herrings than Billingsgate Market. Set around a music hall the film stars Bill Nighy as the officer investigating the murders and basically thrown into a situation where no one cared if he sank or swam other than partner, Daniel Mays, the two had great chemistry together. Also starring Olivia Cooke from tv's Bates Motel in a role that basically steals the show from under Nighy's nose. The Limehouse Golem is less of a horror film than i imagined it would be and more a Holmesian mystery, but it's well crafted and featured one or two surprising elements to boot. New Years Eve - 31 (2016) Five carnival workers are kidnapped one Halloween and held hostage in an abandoned, Hell-like compound where they are forced to participate in a deadly game, the goal of which is to survive twelve hours against a gang of sadistic clowns. The problem with Rob Zombie's 31 is that it's a largely plotless affair populated with largely unlikable characters that were er' rejected from The Devil's Rejects. Whilst it's well made, fairly graphic and fast paced i was found wanting when it came to caring about characters who were one dimensional at best, and not bothering if they lived or died. However the ending, playing out to Aerosmith's Dream On, was excellent and like the aforementioned Devil's Rejects ending, will stick in the memory long after the rest of the film has been forgotten. |

The Limehouse Golem is another film on my never ending to watch list, looks and sounds like a film I’d enjoy so I think I’ll order myself a copy

frankenstein-meets-the-space-monster-1964.jpg FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER (1965) A Martian spaceship blows a rocket out of the sky thinking it to be a missile. The rocket is manned by a human looking robot 'Frank'. The martians have come to kidnap women to populate their planet. 'Frank' is not dead but disfigured and unable to function properly after a blast from the Martians and goes staggering around the desert on the kill. The martians start taking bikini party girls to the spaceship as scientists arrive to help 'Frank'. 'Frank' himself is taken aboard the spacecraft but can 'Frank rescue the girls in time ? This seems to be a film of two parts. The scenes involving the robot Frank and his crashing around scaring people are played serious but the scenes on-board the spaceship are laughable and seem like they could be from another film altogether. All in all a fun film and a perfect way to spend a lazy, rainy afternoon. |
