A double bill today. First up was Tetsuo (the recent UK BR), which I think is a remarkable piece of film making from the stark black and white photography, through the discordant and uncomfortable sound track to the wtf narrative this is an interesting analysis of our relationship with technology and the machines around us.
The second film was Christmas Evil or as the credits have it You better watch out (the arrow DVD). This is a film I hadn't seen before and I really liked it. Brandon Maggart portrayal of Harry's mental breakdown is excellent and while the film is perhaps a little short of the gore I had expected I think its a better film as a consequence. One to add to the festive viewing list.
