Mantis in Lace

A very slow sexploitation flick, I paused it about 30 minutes in and smoked a joint and found in more enjoyable that way.

5/10


House by the cemetry

A pretty good flick, not Fulci's best, but still freaky enough.

7/10


Snowtown

This Australian movie was very nasty, based on true events, it is a must see for anyone into serial killer flicks. I knew the story rather well and was amazed how well they pulled it off. One of those movies where what you don't see happen is more terrifying. Please everyone go see this if it is playing anywhere near you.

9/10

Calvaire - 7.5/10

From the very beginning there is a bleak, foreboding atmosphere running through this extremely competent piece of French film-making.

The protagonist doesn't have a lot of dialogue but acts the relatively helpless/hapless victim well. ***small spoiler*** It is the performance by the player of Bartel that steals the show with his light switch quick unhinging into pure lunacy.

The claustrophobia that was built only intensifies with the grim realisation that the local population are also sadistic, homicidal, delusional sodomites.

Finally, it really has to be said, without spoiling any of the scenes, that some of the photography is innovative and breath-taking.

La Herencia Valdemar aka The Valdemar Legacy (2010)



The story was fine & the movie has great production value but it was all build up for its upcoming sequel La herencia Valdemar II: La sombra prohibida aka The Valdemar Legacy II: The Forbidden Shadow. Seance, Bram Stoker...for a second it reminded me Mark Frost's The List of Seven but I guess from the very beginning of the idea to making this film into multiple parts they told the story in excessively detail...especially the story of Mr. & Mrs. Valdemar, which they could shown in a 5 to 10 minute flashbacks rather than dedicating more or less an hour for it.

Other than that it's a pretty decent one for the Lovecraft fans, IMO. Eagerly waiting to see the sequel as soon as it get a release widely.

>>: B+

Fertile Ground

Typical haunted house movie. Nothing special here. A bunch of lame jump scares instead of actually being frightening. Not scary at all.

Not exactly like that as the story was intense & told nicely and there were some decent 'actions' at the beginning & end of the film in a promising set up...the creepy Valdemar mansion. But yeah...they could add or filled it up with more terrifying activity/encounters which I guess they are saving for the sequel.
