Think Danny Boyle must have seen this film and it became the inspiration for 28 Days Later but with more gore that we love to see on screen, even though this has it's moments. Umberto Lenzi is credited to being one of the writers who probably thought the audience want to see people suffer at the hands of animals.

This was released when Halloween IV, They Live, Child's Play came out and probably fell under people's radar, 80s low budget cheese fest film so we get bad writing, bad acting same music and background score from other Italian movies and Bo Svenson playing a mad scientist. Ashamed to say this...but I enjoyed it.

These are the type of Films, I want to see releasing. The ones you would find in a Video Shop back in the day.

Fire, Ice And Dynamite

Roger Moore is the eccentric Millionaire who stages a dangerous Cannonball Run type competition where the winners win his fortune whereas his Creditors miss out getting paid what they owed (Go figure) At first, I thought that this was really sloppy (As in it was too stupid) but when it gets the actual completion, the incredible stunts is where it shines.

Die Hard With The Vengeance

The 3rd film of the series (I don't recognize the other Sequels after this one) sees Jeremy Irons send Bruce Willis alongside Samuel L. Jackson (1st Film seeing him) on a wild goose chase, solving riddles whilst robbing a Gold Reserve and setting off bombs. Really enjoyable and shows that Serious British Actors make the best Villains.

Blastfighter

Italian take on the newcomer running foul of the locals and fighting back. Decent enough effort with it being 85 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome. Really good at the end where he shoots them with a high powered Gun as that's where the effects coming in. Michael Sipkow and George Eastman star.

Sipkow also starred in Massacre In Dinosaur Valley and Devouring Waves, which is a Italian Jaws rip-off, which I have seen the Trailer for and wouldn't mind a UK based company to release it.

Enter The Devil. 1972.

In South West Texas where a cult once worshiped Satan, a Sheriff investigates a series of unexplained deaths. A journalist looks into these deaths and believes that the mysterious cult may still be active.

This was a bit of low budget and looks like its was mostly filmed in the back end of nowhere that gives it the isolation effect that this film needs. There is no big movie stars or people I recognize but they do try their best to make it believable. There is some tense moments and one or two bits that may be cringe worthy, it may be a slow/steady pace film but decent enough movie.

He's called Sopkiw not Sipkow.

Prom Night (1980)

One of those classic slasher films that in all truth barely resonates as a slasher for the first hour, as to put it bluntly, sod all happens following the opening where a kid is killed falling from a window as his friends taunt him. Things then turn to the present day or six years later as the screen caption states. This is kind of strange as the kids who all appeared to be around nine or ten have all become fully fledged drinking, driving and f*cking adults and in Jamie Lee Curtis case 22 years old.

It does come to life in it's final third which has a tense stalking sequence through the dimly lit corridors of the school not to mention the head rolling down the stage murder which is a highlight of not just this film but slasher cinema in general.

The afore mentioned Curtis is once again in 'final girl' mode as she was in 78's Halloween and also Terror Train from 1980. Where Prom Night differs is *SPOILER ALERT* despite being the final girl she's never actually in any danger as the killer turns out to be her loving brother.

Unfortunately Prom Night is a typical 101 Films presentation on Blu-ray meaning yes it's in high definition (Thankfully) but it hasn't been restored and the image is plagued by dirt spots and flickers throughout.

Ready Or Not. A young bride is not expecting to have play a game with her new in-laws on her wedding night - let alone one where the goal is to kill her. This 2019 comedy horror is still engagingly fresh, funny and gory and seems likely to become a repeat favourite.

You gotta love the accidentally killing of Tina with the crossbow

Cannonball Run II. 1984.

The Sheik from the previous Cannonball Run decides to open up a new race after his son disappoints him, with some of the original racers competing for the $1 million prize draw.

Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise return to their seats with Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr teaming again this time as police officers in the race. Jackie Chan has a new driver/team mate in the form of Richard Kiel, did he struggle to get in and out of the car they had? This basically rips off some good films but the cast do bring their laughs a bit more.
