Baghead. 2024. Freya Allan plays a young women who inherits a run down pub from estranged father Peter Mullen that comes with a tenant in the basement who can let those see the dead for a period of two minutes but comes with consequences. Saw the trailer for this one last week when me and Annmarie went to see Night Swim and seemed like it be a decent somewhat original horror, having Peter Mullen and Jeremy Irvine show up had me thinking it be decent, this was a let down. Having a somewhat dark atmosphere centre that looked like a old gothic building did set the tone, very little cast and a bit of a twist to the plot was a nice touch, the jump scares were a bit predictable. This is one of those films that you sit there and hoping it will get better and when the end credits came up nobody in the screen seemed to be talking about except a few bits of decent make-up effects in the film for the baghead character.

The Isle (2019, Matthew Butler Hart) When someone mentioned this one, I thought that I had it in the house somewhere. 3 sailors luckily find land after a disaster, the locals seem nice but .... Hmm. A decent enough idea fell slightly flat due to the story structure and one performance in particular. Might have made a good 30 min short imho.

download.jpeg Two military kids are left orphaned after their parents are killed at the funeral their uncle offers them the chance to a small town in Florida to help him with his amusement park. This is a typical small town where everyone knows everyone and news spreads fast about the new arrivals as if its not hard enough to start a new life there are always some that wish to make it harder. Abby attracts the unwanted attention of the gang that more or less runs the town and after constantly rejecting their advances things soon get out of hand. I have never even heard of this until Dem reviewed it and im so glad he did because i may have missed out on this fun film. The bullying starts out with the usual posturing but it soon take a dark turn James Spader is awesome as a crazy asshole that doesn't take kindly to the word no the rest of the gang are just your typical dumb rednecks blindly following the leader but when they are following a complete nutcase who knows what they are capable of. Make no mistake Abby and her brother Loren are no push overs they may have attracted the attention of the gang but they are no victims and its obvious from the get go that Dutra and his goons have picked on the wrong people this time. The New Kids is well worth your time and the final showdown in the amusement park was great and a lot more violent than i was expecting and very very satisfying to see how these clowns get dealt with.

Deadtime Stories (1986, Jeffrey Delman) Anthology caper. Canadian? What's a parent to do when faced with the eternal dilemma of the sleepless child? Make up his own versions of rather famous tales haha. Loved this one and wished I'd seen it sooner. Recommended.

MV5BM2FiMzM4NzMtM2JkNC00ZjE3LThlMjctMmE5NGYyNTViMWZjXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjUzOTY1NTc@._V1_.jpg Earl Macklin has just been released after a stretch in the pen for a bank job he carried out with his brother and a friend but for Earl there are no new beginnings when he comes out to the news his brother has been killed for his part in the job. This was no ordinary bank they hit it was a front for an organisation called The Outfit and now Earl is back to get compensation for his prison time and the last of his beloved brother. God damn this was a fantastic film right from the off its fast paced with some great action great acting and some mighty fine music to boot. Robert Duval is as cool as they come smooth talking always keeping his head in tough situations he is all business all of the time not to be outdone Joe Don Baker also gives a great performance as Earls accomplish Jack Cody they two really work perfectly together. The Outfit is one of those films where I have an excited knot in the pit of my stomach watching it because just how good it is. This is honestly one of the best films I have seen in some time. If you haven't seen this you owe it to yourself to change that straight away I absolutely LOVED every second of it.
