Since I went to Inverness today .... I rewatched The Fog. Still would like to see the original film as intended. Ho hum. The first Carpenter film I remember seeing. |
Horror Express (1972, Eugenio Martin) What else to say apart from this German BD looks lovely ... still a tiny amount of damage .... tiny ... but tis the best I've seen it. |
2 Attachment(s) October 24th The VVitch: A New-England Folktale (2015) Second time around and this was just as intelligent, scary and gripping as the first. The way the horror subtly envelops your conscience is quite special and the denouement devastating. A modern classic...set in the 1600's. Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970) My favourite Hammer vampire film. Gone are the subtle sexual subtexts, this is a revenge horror film where the sins of the father might be far greater than the sins of the vampire. |
2 Attachment(s) October 25th Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989) Not a patch on the fourth installment. How could it be when it loses one of that films star performers - Ellie Cornell - in the first half an hour leaving us with Donald Pleasence's Loomis who might be more deranged than Myers. More of a run of the mill slasher with a loony finale than the haunting menace originally created by John Carpenter. Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) Speaking of loony! I don't think i can recall a horror film with a more ludicrous plot than this Michael Myers free installment. Killer Halloween masks that contain bits of Stonehenge casually transported to early 80's California. Well quite! Oh yeah lets not forget the androids and that bloody tv commercial. Still it's all good gory fun. |

2 Attachment(s) October 26th City of the Living Dead (1980) A minor masterpiece from Lucio Fulci. Nightmarish, bloody and supremely atmospheric not to mention utter nonsense. Fulci's clunkiness shows through as this is set during the couple of days leading up to All Saints Day (Nov 1st) and there's not a Halloween decoration to be seen. Satan's Little Helper (2004) Jeff Liebermann's film is becoming a Halloween tradition for me. What begins as a darkly comic study of video game violence on young minds morphs in it's second half into a nasty, cruel prime example of exploitation. Brilliant stuff. |
