My Dear Killer (1972)

Good story, good mystery, good Giallo; only problem was there's too many characters that sometime made it bit hard to follow.

Axed (2012)

A Britt Indie psycho-drama about a man who takes his family to a surprise trip in a remote countryside house where he has already even abducted his boss for firing him from the job & having an affair with his wife. Now the crazy dad goes on a planned rampage to torture & kill them all...including his 2 children.
Found it bit amusing at times but near the end it become bit long & tedious. Not too bad, overall.

Frankenweenie (2012)

Simply beautiful! But man...that vampire cat was utterly creepy!! Anyway, it's really wonderful to see our very favorite icon of Horror...Sir Vincent Price on the screen after quite a long time. Thank you, Mr. Burton for bringing him back in such a remarkable way:)

Out of Mind: The Stories of H.P. Lovecraft (1998)

A great indie effort! This is really a good & clever combination of couple of stories of Lovecraft in one single storyline. Kudos to the actor (Christopher Heyerdahl) who plays the role of the Master...I guess, this is the most finest portrayal of Lovecraft I've seen so far.

Minotaur (2006)

Based on the Greek mythology, Tom Hardy plays the Heroic role of Theseous but as there's some changes in this adaptation, so he's just a humble shepherd, named Theo, haunted by the loss of his love, Fion, in an earlier sacrifice, is convinced that the beast is not a deity and his love still lives within the labyrinth of the beast. Rutger Hauer plays his father role & Tony Todd as the King Deucalion. The surprise package from the cast-list of this sy-fy channel flick not only ends here, as the end credit roles, it came to my notice that even Ingrid Pitt was there in the role of disfigured 'Leper'!

Overall, better than average sy-fy channel movies.

Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll aka House of Psychotic Women (1973)

A great, unpredictable Giallo staring Paul 'Macho' Naschy. It's got everything that any Giallo lover likes to see in a Giallo flick...a great mystery, brutal killing of beautiful female victims using blade, knife & other respectable tools, lustful 70's Euro babes, a creepy score for every time someone gets killed! Despite of its some minor sleaziness, I just simply loved it.

>>: B+

6 Plots (2012)

An Aussie SAW-influenced thriller; while attending a fun party at a friend's house, after getting drunk, Brie wakes up & find that each of her friends have been buried alive in unknown locations across the city, all of whom await a cruel and ironic fate if she doesn't stop the faceless killer in time.

Very average but the most annoying thing is there's no clear revelation about the killer or what motivated him behind his activity or to go through all those hazardous process to trap & kill his victims.

Night of the Comet (1984)

Doomsday in 80's! Great fun movie, Loved it.

>>: B+
