HELLSING. Okayish anime about the British Government's fight against vampires.
PIRANHA 3D. Having not enjoyed this first time watching it, I thought I'd give it another go. Fun and undemanding.
CARNIVAL OF BLOOD. Like some hellish cross between H.G. Lewis and Andy Milligan with a few female escapees from an early John Water's film. This both irritated the shit out of me and hypnotised me with it's incessant scenes of talking that by the end, my mind most certainly wasn't in the same place as it was at the beginning. Nice fuzzed up psyche soundtrack with the odd forlorn folk song chucked in for good measure. |
Nice to see CARNIVAL... get a mention. Although not a favourite of mine by a long stretch, it does contain some mind melting badness and some slightly surprising gore, but the endless repetition of square sixties couples talking tended to tip more towards the 'irritating the shit out of' rather than the 'hypnotic/mesmerising' end of the scale for me. Still, there's some worthwhile weirdness to be had. Not as hard going as Andy Milligan, I reckon. Actually, it comes way second in the tedium stakes compared with its neighbour on that 'Something Weird' disc, 'The Headless Horseman'... never even managed to finish that one!
