Prom Night III: The Last Kiss - The already-lacklustre Prom Night franchise takes a turn into the realms of the spoof with this odd entry. It actually surprises me that this isn't up there as a camp classic like Troll 2 or Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 as it really is just a serious of non-sequiters, bad early 90's sfx and dismal performances. Oddly engaging
Switchblade Sisters - top-notch exploitation. Has it all - tough-talking girl gangs, a woman-in-prison scene, an ambush in a roller rink and even veers into blaxploitation. Enjoyed it so much I rewatched it straight after with the Jack Hill and Quentin Tarantino commentary on which was particularly illuminating.
Unknown - Liam Neeson continues his bid for the older man's action hero as a biochemist who after a car crash finds someone appears to have his identity, his wife no longer seems to know who he is, and is pursued by a group of assassins. It's really interesting while the mystery unfolds but as soon as the explanation is given (which works well and isn't disappointing) it loses its way a little
Splice - Adrien Brody and his girlfriend genetically created a new organism using human DNA which they raise as their sort-of daughter. I expected it to be a standard Frankenstein-type film with the creation of the creature followed by masses of death and destruction but it's a lot more complex and dark than that with some pretty creepy and disturbing scenes. Like Unknown, it runs out of steam a little at the end but was a lot better and different than expected
Corman's World - excellent look at the career of Roger Corman and his contribution to independent and exploitation cinema. Wonderful clips and insightful interviews make a truly wonderful viewing experience. And you get to see Jack Nicholson cry for real
