 Spiral (2019)  Gaslighting: The Homophobia Edition This honestly creeped me out, a lot! A same sex couple move into a suburban town and everything seems perfect. Their house gets vandalised and Malik keeps it from his partner Aaron, it seems that due to a very brutal event in his past he gets a little paranoid about these things... Obviously not all is right in this town and poor Malik is ripe to be a gaslighting victim. I enjoyed this, it's not perfectly made and some bits are a bit predictable but overall had me on edge, creeped me out, and it upset me all in one. Day 7 of my horror marathon and I've not had a truly disappointing viewing yet!

Videodrome. 1983. T.V. producer Max Renn looking for new ideas to show for Civic T.V. comes across a 53 second clip called Videodrome. He goes looking for the creators and source and finds his reality in life changing. This one I have seen plenty of times and reviewed it on here but this one seems to fascinate me more that other Cronenberg's movies, as when you don't watch it for a while then re-watch and pick up more suttle little bits, are the creators using a mind control of the air waves with the over exposure of Videodrome, or when he places the prototype for the hallucinations to be recorded is he still wearing it and hallucinating to the end, you cannot fault James Woods in this as he is brilliant . Death to Videodrome, Long Live The New Flesh movieposter.jpg Up Next The Hills Have Eyes.

The Hills Have Eyes. 1977, A family to heading to California take a trip off road and end up stranded after breaking down, what starts as a family holiday becomes a trip of survival when the family is attacked by cannibals. It had been a while since I saw this film and finally get to see a uncut version of this and with a alternate ending, this is really quite still brutal and tense and may seem upsetting to some but at least we know the victims do fight back with a vengeance as well as the family dog gets a bit of pay back. Even though this may seem low budget from the re-make (which is good IMO) it is well played out from a steady pace to a full blown horror and Wes Craven knew what to do and how to make things look good with the camera work.

The Hills Have Eyes Part II. 1984. A group of bikers heading to a race become stranded in the desert and have to fight of cannibals who live in the area. The first movie was good and brutal with some very tense moments, this is the first time I have watched this film all the way through and feel very disappointed by it as it says "Family of cannibals" yet there seems to be only two Pluto who survived Beast's attack and Reaper, didn't the first one have a woman that was like their mother who appeared in some scenes?? Robert Houston, Michael Berryman and Janus Blythe return from the first film. The killings are done far in between but what happened to the suspense in it, there was no atmosphere from the first or did I miss something?? Maybe Re-Watch maxresdefault.jpg

I've not seen that one and it was one of my potentials for the next week or so as it's on the Arrow TV channel on iTunes. I might not bother. I'm definitely sticking with only films I've not seen before though, there are loads of well known films I haven't got around to yet so I'm glad to be filling some gaps.

It's not as good as the first by any means but i still like the desert vibes on offer. It's just a bit of OTT fun. Justin101 and Susan Foreman like this. |

Perhaps it's something I can watch at the weekend when I can do multiple films in the day, that way if it's not that good it won't dampen my spirits  MrBarlow likes this.
