went round a mates for takeout, the kebaby was doing pizzas ect on bogof so we had a bit of a feast and watched some movies.
First up was brian yuzna directed monster movie Amphibious 3d. We didn't watch it in 3d and quite frankly I doubt if the process will add anything to this movie. Its a fun little by the numbers monster movie with michael pare vs a bloody huge sea scorpion thingy! Very gorey, some ropey cgi but overall quite a lot of fun!
Second up was retro slasher THE SLEEPER.

Made in the mould of movies like grindhouse, hobo with a shotgun and house of the devil its shot as if it were an early 80's straight to video slasher flick. with music, camera moves and everything styled after the classics, plus it 'homages' quite a few other movies including Black christmas and don't answer the phone.
The plot is pretty simple, a hammer weilding nut-job is killing off a bunch of sorority girls inbetween sending pervy phone calls. That said simplicity was always one of the saving graces of the slasher movie. It's getting a rough ride on imdb, and ok, theres some dodgy acting but this ones worth checking out if you can find it. Only place i've seen is amazon.com.
Finally we watched alien apocalypse.
Bruce campbell killing sentient insects to free humanity, all on a sci-fi channel budget. Nuff said really, you'll either love it or hate it.
