Have too say at nearly 3 hours was expecting this too be quite slow burning and maybe a little boring, but it was surprisingly fast paced ,the earth is slowly dying but a man is giving a chance to save his family and the human race , when a worm hole is discovered orbiting Saturn. Well acted and directed with some great effects, reminded me 2001 in someways. A mixture of space a d time travel with the central theme of the importance of family.



Enjoyable if not great little tale of a group of FBI agents that are transporting a prisoner and come under attack from a group zombie convicts that have the unique ability to travel in/trough concrete.

Now watching , which will be the last horror I'll watching until October marathon.

I picked it up on dvd cheap a few years ago. Thought it was terrible.

Don't the ghosts come out of the road or something?

If I remember it...I think they do, old prisoners that haunt the road

I'm at that stage too. I've really tried to not watch much horror this month but have been a bit unsuccessful.

I'll try and make sure i don't watch any Sunday to Thursday. Can't really say about tonight and Saturday.

I know if i can hold off until Friday Oct 1st i'll be desperate to watch horror then sit there looking at the to-watch pile for hours trying to decide what to watch.

THE SOUND OF VIOLENCE – An experimental musician with powers of unusual synaesthesia gets into brutality in a big way when the sounds of it fuel her visions and give her weird compositions a certain edge… well, there is definite intrigue in the concept! Boneheaded, audacious and nasty, TSOV looks and feels like a true latter day exploitation flick for its better part, but unfortunately it does lose something along the way. A slight bagginess of tone creeps in and it doesn’t quite go for the jugular in the way I wanted. Petty gripes maybe, I just wanted it to do more of what it does, and its handful of crazed set pieces, no doubt its raison d’etre, are uniquely satisfying when they arrive – who could argue with the scene in which a harp is rigged to perform as an instrument of torture at an exhibition? Argento couldn’t top the idea (although he’d probably film it better). Worth checking out, and a re-watch from me at some point.

IN A GLASS CAGE – Agusti Villaronga’s journey into the dark night of the soul, and not something that you would describe as anything other than ‘a grim watch’. It’s a treatise on the mechanics of abusive relationships that centres on a former Nazi experimenter, now confined to an iron lung following a suicide attempt, who makes a pact with his intense new support worker. IAGC takes on some dark themes and shows us a few hard-to-watch images, but then strangely wraps all this awfulness in such heightened visual confectionery that you wonder whether it’s really more interested in capturing the exquisite sight of a lush scarlet cape fluttering down a darkened stairwell (for example) than the profound dissection it otherwise seems to want to undertake. But, a spiritual emetic in the vein of ‘Salo’, and, well, ‘harrowing’.

THE BORROWER – John McNaughton’s a director who’s never quite got his due. This is a stark switch away from the grind of ‘Henry’, and almost seems a little unlikely at first, being ostensibly agreeable nineties schlock about an alien sentenced to life on earth as punishment for undisclosed extra-terrestrial transgressions. Alien guy is not very friendly, and his schtick involves him decapitating his victims so that he can ‘wear’ their heads as his own. ‘The Borrower’ rises above the clunkiness of its period of genre filmmaking by demonstrating a sharpness of wit and some wry social commentary, plus there is a kind of lean, sparse feel to it, and an eccentricity. There’s also a few dabs of prosthetics and gore here and there, not too many, but what it shows is pleasing nonetheless and hooks into my era-specific nostalgia. Overlooked and available for rediscovery courtesy of the newish blu-ray.
