Gargoyles. 1972.

A father and daughter head out to Arizona after receiving word of a skeleton being unearthed and soon the town is besieged by living Gargoyles who are hiding out in the nearby caverns.

Some made for T.V movies don't really work but for some reason this one did, despite it's low budget and costumes for the Gargoyles this was enjoyable, ok the dialogue could have done with some improvement never less it's decent. Cornel Wilde and Jennifer Salt play the father and daughter who head out too see a man Uncle Willie (Woody Chambliss) who found the remains of a Gargoyle and become attacked. Bernie Casey plays the lead Gargoyle who wants humanity dead so they can live. Entertaining for a quiet night and a young Scott Glenn makes an appearance.

I've no idea. The one you posted had youtu.be in the URL so didn't show up as a video in my browser. The link I used was YouTube.com, which appears in this browser.

A group of holidaymakers set of for their holiday to the Spanish resort of Elsbels. What can go wrong does go wrong in the usual carry on style. 6.5/10


Now watching The Creeping Flesh.

I fancied watching a Carry On so much after reading this that I just spent an hour going through my packed collection to find this DVD, out of around 15 boxes all of my discs are packed in, I found this in box number 14

I grabbed a few other things though while I was there.

The Holy Mountain. 1973.

In a greed fueled world, a Alchemist leads a group of people to a mountain where they achieve high enlightenment and immortality.

I had to watch this twice as to understand the film and it's meaning, Alejandro Jodorowsky written and directed this film who also plays the Alchemist who has figures of people who seem to enjoy power and abuse it and a thief who he seems to help him of his past sins and teach him inner peace.

At the very start the film just dives in with no boring prologue and becomes a film you can't take your eyes away from (except with the child nudity that is shown a fair bit). There is some good cinematography that captures the mountain scenery and set designs done colorfully with the rainbow room in the tower, it has it's mixtures of science-fiction, comedy, drama and some references to religion and politics all blended and what the planets mean to some people.

The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

Wes Craven's harrowing tale of city dwellers versus depraved desert hillbillies is replete with outrageous characters (Hey there Michael Berryman), nightmarish scenarios, deadly traps and heroic canines.

By anyone's standards this is a stone wall horror classic.

MIRRORS (2008)

An ex detective takes a job as a night watchman at a old burnt out department store. While patrolling the premises he notices movement in the many mirrors that are around the store..

I thought this was pretty good. The burnt out department store looks very creepy and the mirror and gore effects are well done. Loved the twist ending.

I'm a bit weirded out because I have just finished watching this
It's my first time watching and I don't know what on earth it was all about but I enjoyed watching it for sure. I bought the Italian Raro DVD when I was in Rome 18 months ago and it's sat unwatched until tonight.
