Was flipping around cable last night and came across "Deadfall" on the fear.net channel. It had a great cast..James Coburn, Michael Beihn,Nicholas Cage,Charlie Sheen....but the movie sucked balls....mostly because of Nicholas Cage's OVERACTING.

Its a pretty impressive early Bava giallo, with all the traditional murder mystery angle. Hardcore fans might be a tad disappointed with the toned down gorific brutality and sexuality, but you have to admire Bava's brilliance in deftly handling the finer aspects of gialli film-making - the background score, the darkly tinted visuals, the perfect creepy settings...and the atmosphere. You will forget for a sec that its totally b/w, and just sit back and admire the genius of Bava, as he goes about this almost Hitchcock-ian tribute with the perfect ease of a master at work.

Heck...I have to agree with Elvis and admit that, between Argento and Bava, Bava definitely holds a slight edge.

Just in case someone is wondering where to get Mario Bava Collection Vol 1 & 2, here it is at amazon :

Excellent sets! Need the second one also.

Recently watched
- Day of the Dead (remake 2008) - NOT ROMERO is all I have to say
- Automaton Transfusion - Almost better than the above but not by much

I am running out of good Zombie flicks to watch. Sigh.....

Mimic- 6.5/10

Always a fun watch, although it loses the fear level early on, which irritates me because it could've been so scary.

Black Sheep ---- loved it funny and great special fx but seemed a bit slow passed at times. Check it out if you get the chance.
