ABBY. 1974.

A marriage counselor Abby shows signs of strange behavior and soon it becomes clear she is possessed.

First came The Exorcist, Abby then Beyond The Door,this is a black exploitation of The Exorcist and like Beyond The Door it got sued by Warner Brothers but this was actually a decent film, ok it may have it's moments of being daft..who in their right mind would do a back seat of a car bunk up with a possessed woman. There is parts where it's funny and nowadays it is quite tame but back then when it was released it may have had a different effect on the audience, one i will happily return to watch.

What as in you’ve never seen a Argento film before ?

Or Stendahl syndrome was the first film you watched by him ?

Mission Impossible. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is framed for treason and murder when his entire IMF team is apparently wiped out during an operation and, going on the run, takes extreme risks to prove his innocence and smoke out the real traitor. The original MI film remains a cool classic 25 years (God I'm old etc) on, filled with great set-pieces and helmed with typically assured class and flair by Brian De Palma. Classic.

He made some brilliant and classic films,
suspiria, a recommended must watch
Four flies on grey velvet
Deep red
His debut Bird with the crystal plumage
Tenebre

And many more, his later films like Dracula giallo aren’t so good

A few are mixed reviews like card player, sleepless, but if you like stendhal syndrome then you’re in for some great films ahead then.

Do you not rate Opera and Phenomena as classic films?

Yes to them all I just mentioned a handful of films that’s all, hence why I said and many more.

Grave Encounters 2. 2012.

A film student who is obsessed with the first movie, sets out to find what actually happened to the t.v. crew in the abandoned psychiatric hospital.

Why did I put myself through this one? it's amazing how so many people in the film are obsessed with a film yet only one gets cryptic clues sent to them. The crew go to the hospital and greeted by a security guard, things must be different in Canada for his line of work as he practically broke a few rules himself, if I done what he did I know i'd be sacked. We see Lance who at the end of the first film was labotmised yet he has made a miraculous recovery. All the so called jump scenes were done better in the first film.
