THE DEAD PIT - Liked this for its late 80s vibe ie. all the horror looked cackhandedly rock videoesque... could really only enjoy as a cartoon, straightfaced approach notwithstanding. Thought there was actually quite a lot of conflict between its overall dickheadedness and various unexpectedly sleazy or eerie moments... admittedly, perhaps not quite enough of the latter. The male 'lead' seemed to be channeling David Warbeck? I may be wrong. SUSPECT ZERO was a riveting psycho-chiller from the director of the brain-curdling 'Begotten'. Remote viewing, serial killing and Ben Kingsley... pretty inspired, emotive despite the potential for a bit of eyeball rolling re the premise. I haven't yet watched 'Shadow of the Vampire', but on the strength of this, I will.
