Halloween Ends

The final part of the current series of films, if it wasn't a Halloween Film then it's really good with the storyline of a man with some unfortunate luck and ends up being hated by the locals so he ends up being a Serial Killer but has it involves characters from The Halloween Franchise, both storylines get in each others way. I still enjoyed it though.

Terrifier 2

Art The Clown is back and is stalking a family while killing multiple people in the most gruesome ways. This Film has a lot of hype with the news stories coming out as well as sell outs of the DVD's and Blu-Rays and it does live up to the hype, it is really gory. I thought that David Howard Thornton plays his role really well, his facials were incredible. Trouble was, at 2 Hours, 12 Minutes, it's way too long (It's longer than Seven)

I'm assuming that many, many, many more Terrifier Movies will come out, maybe getting a Cinema Release.

Barbarian

A woman on a Job Interview ends up sharing a Air BNB after it's double booked but something is in the Basement.

Not going into many details but this was over-rated, I'm guessing that this is one of those Elevated Horror Films but I didn't find it scary, bloody or creepy at all.

SPOILER:

A Nightmare On Elm Street

Don't think I need to go into plot points on this one LOL but this is still an enjoyable Horror Film with one of the greatest Death Scenes (Johnny Deep)

Bought myself the Blu-Ray Set (As it was on Sale at HMV)

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)

Continuing the story of Michael Myers ten years later this is a fast paced and often thrilling movie. There's no 'Getting to know you' opening half hour without any shocks as Michael is in the film from the first scene.

Halloween 4 has a strong cast headed of course by Donald Pleasence whilst the largely unknown Ellie Cornell makes for an appealing heroine. The fact the film focuses mainly on Pleasence's Dr. Loomis and Beau Starr's Sheriff means it has a nice adult feel to it rather than simply being teen based and it feels quite refreshing.

There are some nicely realized kills and some great scenes of suspense and i'm sure more than a few flaws but it's all whizzes by at such a break neck speed i never notice them.

Gorier than the first film but not quite as chilling, few films are, this is probably the best of the sequels or at least it seemed that way watching it this year. When you think of when this initially came out in 1988 it's probably the best slasher film of that late era when the genre was very much in decline.

Deadly Manor. 1990.

I have a bit more appreciation for this film, last time I watched this it was on a dvd version, tonight watched the Arrow Blu-Ray and ok the acting still sucks a bit unfortunately that can never be changed but the picture quality and sound is a lot better and clearer. There is one or two flaws like The girl with the killer in the room it seems to be night yet when she runs down the stairs all of a sudden its daylight, did I blink and miss the morning dawn or something.

This is down as part of my Christmas viewing. Like you i'd only seen it previously on a terrible dvd copy.
