Deadgirls (1990, Dennis Devine) Him again. Lawdy. The audio is all over the place, which just added to the fun. Rock band retire to an isolated spot for a spot of R 'n' R ... I'll get me cloak ... Some fun here, with some jarring edits and poor story structure going into the mix. Is an avid fan stalking them? Could it be a disgruntled relative? Strap in to find out .... For my sins I was quite taken with some of their songs , remember how I drooled over Doom Asylum? I digress. The last 20 minutes contained ... something interesting certainly. Lawdy. Plane (2022, Jean-Francois Richet) Buuuutler in decent film shocker. When a commercial airliner is forced to land after a storm, checking how many water bottles they have is the least of their problems. The little bit of woke was noticeable ahem. Yes, I'd recommend this, it didn't drag (really) and the stunts were fun.

Deep Blue Sea. 1999. Back in the 80s we got Jaws 3 that was set underwater in a aquatic facility for tourists with some of the not so great effects, Renny Harlin gave us this little feature set under the water this time a research facility with 3 sharks that have had their senses heightened. Im not a fan of Saffron Burrows and how she managed to survive near to the end is amazing. LL Cool J is the chef with the cheeky mouth parrot. Thomas Jane is the shark wrangler who seems to have a connection with the sharks when they aren't attacking. Samuel L Jackson is the millionaire rich adventurer guy who managed to give us one of those unexpected death scenes. The effects haven't aged well but still a bit effective and entertaining. movieposter_en.jpg

Lighthouse (1999) The survivors of a prison boat shipwreck think they are saved when they find a small island lighthouse off the Cornish coast. However when they discover a psychotic killer who beheads his victims also got off the stricken boat they are in for a night of terror. Shot totally at night Lighthouse is really nothing you won't have seen before in films like 1972's Tower of Evil, however it is thoroughly enjoyable and really rather gripping. There's a nice fog shrouded atmosphere and it's performed by a good cast including James Purefoy, Paul Brooke, Don Warrington, the very creepy Christopher Adamson and the unknown to me but very good Rachel Shelley who as a prison doctor has to put up with a lot of shit. Simon Hunter's direction is accomplished and there are three terrific suspense sequences among the arterial splatter which had me on the edge of my seat. Lighthouse is a fine British slasher that has sadly been neglected in the twenty years since it's dvd release and is crying out for HD treatment. |

Deep Blue Sea 2. 2018. Another underwater shark testing facility but not with three sharks but five, a idiotic billionaire who thinks he should be up there with Darwin. A group of researchers who know they will get their asses chewed off and a somewhat added extra of a shark that may be pregnant. The first gave us a unexpected death but here they tried to recreate one and you can see it coming. The first film gave us a reason for the research, finding a cure for Alzheimer's disease but this one I must have missed what the research is, i must have blew my nose at the time they were explaining it. Is this a sequel or a poor man's remake...I got no idea but this started well and then went south quickly. It's on the now I have seen it that's it list for me. download.jpeg

I forgot to mention Paul Hyett, who went on to direct the excellent British horror films The Seasoning House (2012) and Howl (2015) was the make up and special effects designer for Lighthouse. He also did the same for Neil Marshall on The Descent (2005)
