Two Witches (2021)

I'm so glad I bought the digital copy for £3 rather than stumping up £18 for the Arrow Video bluray. It's bloody awful. Badly acted, annoying characters, wtf was the story? Looks ugly too, like a lot of modern films made with digital cameras. Oh yeah, jump scares that you see coming a mile off.

Do yourselves a favour and don't bother with this. It ends with a 'To Be Continued...' no thanks, I've had enough.

Haute Tension. 2003.

A film I have heard a lot about but this was my first time viewing it, two girls in a isolated cabin in the woods some place with a serial killer wanting to play a game of cat and mouse but with a twist.

The pace of the film is a bit slow like two girls having a laugh at the start then it picks up and generally becomes a good blood bath movie. Cecile De France and Maiwenn play the two leads while Philippe Nahon plays the unbalanced in life serial killer. Alexandre Aja knew how to capture the audience attention even though he had to trim things down but this was the uncut version so be advised with this one, you can feel the pain of the Achilles heel tendon cut.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 (1986)

Twelve years on from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper returns with this sequel in which Dennis Hopper plays a former Texas Ranger determined to bring the cannibal clan to justice by whatever means necessary because his nephew (The lad in the wheelchair) was one of the families original victims. He's helped by Caroline Williams DJ who taped their latest atrocity - an action sequence on a bridge involving cars and chainsaws right out of a Mad Max film - as part of a live phone in on her late night radio show.

It's been years since i last saw this, in fact i'm not sure i actually rated it that much when i first bought the dvd so God knows why i bought the Blu-ray in one of Arrows many sales. However i'm delighted i did. This is basically the template for Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses, even more so than the original film as this is all gaudy lighting, 80's hard rock and wild OTT characters headed by Zombie regular Bill Moseley as Chop Top who is basically Otis Firefly with a steel plate in his head.

It's definitely a film of two halves. The first concentrating on the action set piece and then a relentless attack on Williams radio station by Chop Top and Leatherface. During the second half the action moves to tunnels underneath an abandoned amusement park, the family's latest hideout. It's these chapters that most feel like a Rob Zombie film rather than anything remotely like Hooper's first take back in 1974 even though the hammer at the dinner table sequence is reused with different characters...and it's still f*cking vile to watch.

The film on the whole is pretty unrelenting. More black comedy than the first film but sicker with it. Parts still shock and would cause outrage if released to cinemas nowadays and the film still has the power to disturb despite the darkest of dark streak of humour running through it. It should also be noted that Hopper's as f*cking deranged as the whole Sawyer clan put together.

I have to say i loved this, rewatching it again all these years later. It may be sacrilegious to say it but i found this far more satisfying than the original Massacre.

Remember watching this during a Print Check, at first, I was just expecting a run of the mill Horror.

But I wasn't expecting what I saw, don't know what creeped me out more, the Home Movies or the Music.

I believe that during the first time watching this Film, things don't make sense but once the twist is revealed, everything becomes clearer.

I've only seen this Film once, so it's just a theory.

Ordered for 2.99 as well , don't even think I'll bother watching . It's only 2.99 but might still see if I can get a rerfund

It did look good from the artwork but how many times have people been burned with that

It's certainly an explanation. :lol:

Always enjoyed this with its none stop action and kick ass lead . Half vampire blade battles vampires along with friend Whistler. They are up against Decon Frost who wants too take over the vampire and human worlds by becoming a vampire god. Great action scenes . You just know that Disney / marvel will screw up the new film highly doubt it will even be a 18, probably a 12.

A very atmospheric film and probably one of my favourite haunted house films always thought it was superior to Amityville horror which came out around the same time.

Does anyone know why when the dog is possessed and is attacking it sounds like a Tie fighter?

Great film with one small downside why does the devil look like Colonel Sanders!

Now watching IT, the original tv mini series . Will just watch the first half as it's getting on.

I prefer the original, but any film that has Dennis Hopper going apeshit with chainsaws gets my vote.:pumpkin:
