Michael Dougherty's Trick 'r Treat (2007): Pretty much buried by Warner Bros. (who knows why?), this is quite a fun horror anthology film. I watched the region friendly US blu-ray. It has quite a fun use of Pulp Fiction style editing where the stories aren't in chronological order. My one big complaint is that the film has extremely glossy and modern style cinematography for most of the running time (not so apparent during the Brian Cox segment). That significantly hurts it, would have been a lot better with a much more old school look. btw I felt exactly the same way about Cabin In The Woods (although I haven't seen that for a long time, perhaps I'm wrong?). Still an enjoyable Halloween film despite that. Film score - 7/10.

The Mutilator A son tries to clean his father's guns and accidentally shoots his mother. His sad is pissed of. Years later the boy and his college friends go to his dad's condo to shut for the winter. Only there is a killer. I have to say I enjoyed this, if only for a couple of fun kills and a few enjoyable moments. I absolutely hate that bloody song from the arrow main menu. Sent from my PRA-LX1 using Tapatalk

Salem's Lot. Ben Mears (David Soul) returns to his home town, only to find a notorious local landmark - the "haunted" Marsten House - is now playing home to a very different kind of evil, which soon begins spreading its touch among the townsfolk. This late 70s TV adaptation of Stephen King's classic vampire horror novel isn't perfect, but it's still pretty creepy and effective and enjoyable. No one who watched this as a kid ever slept with their curtains open again. |

mill_of_stone_women_poster_01.jpg mill_of_stone_women_poster_02.jpg MILL OF THE STONE WOMEN (1960) Looking for information on the 100 year old windmill, a man arrives at the old mill house of a sculptor where a carousel featuring various women from history move around a track to fairground music. The sculptor kidnaps women and uses their blood to keep his daughter alive. The dead bodies are then used as figures on the carousel.. Really enjoyed this. Slow moving but leads to a fiery climax. Creepy atmosphere in the old mill and the figures on the carousel look suitably macabre. |

Uglyduckling1959.jpg THE UGLY DUCKLING (1959) Bumbling Henry Jekyll, a laughing stock to all, especially on the dance floor, finds his uncles formula and changes into Teddy Hyde. Teddy is a wizard on the dance floor and after a fight in the dance hall gets taken out back where he agrees to help in a robbery.. Hammer comedy. Bernard Bresslaw stars in the dual role of Henry/Teddy. No horror make up here just a quick smooth tidy up and Bernard becomes Teddy. For some reason James Bernard's Dracula motif appears over the transformation scenes. Thought that was quite odd. Enjoyable, harmless fun and it was good to finally see this movie. |
