Skinned Deep

Another low budget movie...but heck I actually really enjoyed this. Ya gotta love the dwarf dude from Willow throwing enough plates at his victims!! This kinda reminded me of a low-er budget TCM with comedy, so a pleasant surprise for me this one...

7/10


Hills Have Eyes (Remake)

This down 'n' dirty movie is by far the best remake I have seen. I won't go as far as saying I prefer it to the original but I like this as much. Really creepy, some great gore and a pretty bad rape scene are just the tip of the iceberg in this baby! Definetley one of the best movies I have seen in the last couple of months.

10/10


The Changeling


I thought this quirky little ghost story was excellent. George C Scott yet again is superb - I loved him in the Exorcist III and he was just as good in this little shost story. A very atmospheric film ( reminiscent in some ways in it's atmospher to the creepy Rosemary's baby) which with no gore relies on atmosphere and tension to keep the viewer hooked. Well worth a look.

7/10



Wonderland

Val Kilmer stars in this action/gangster/shoot em up romp. Playing the part of a wild ex porn star and loosely based on fact I really enjoyed this movie. Not a bad bargain bin purchase and definetley worth taking a look

7/10


Dead Mans Shoes

This cult revenge masterpiece I found thoroughly enjoyable. Filmed in the next county from me (Yorkshire) and I'm based in Manchester it contained lots northern humour and mixed this up with some classic tense moments. I loved the scene where the group is having a smoking session and as one leaves the building sees ' the elephant man' - absolutely hilarious. Grab this classic if you can.

8.5/10

Well, I'm hitting blockbuster tonight and hoping they have some sort of deal. Like, 3 older movies for a low price. They used to have that all the time.

Trying to grab some of these...

The Cell,
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original), Halloween,
Session 9,
Dawn of the Dead (original),
Demons,
House,
The Wicker Man,
Pet Semetary,
Night of the Demons (1988).

TCM, Halloween, House, DotD and NotD being the most wanted for an old school horror night.

We'll see how cost effective renting three is...

The Descent

I went in expecting nothing more than the usual horror fare.

This has to be the best horror flick I have seen in awhile.
It took the time to build an actual storyline and character development.
It was scary even before the first hint of a monster showed up.


5 stars with a cherry on top.

strong female characters in a film are a nice change...especially in a horror film ..

correction .. strong well written, well acted female characters.

Taxi Driver

Love this movie - second time I have watched it this week. Watched it at work on my notebook and then tonight on my TV. A defining moment in cinema.

10/10

I expect nothing less from Neil Marshall. He is the man that brought me Spoon from Dog Soldiers, one of my all time favorite horror characters.

"I hope i give you the shits, you fucking wimp."

that was one of the better scenes in a horror movie ever .. someone actually going apeshit on the monster, knowing they'd die but attempting to inflict as much damage as they could as they're going down ... and at the bitter end : one last insult :D

*side note,

i know dog soldiers two: fresh meat, is in the works but i didn't see if neil signed on to direct???

No, the guy who did "The Bunker" is directing.

Grease 2.
I feel sick. But the baby loves it....go figure.
