Oasis of the Zombies.
Uneven and quite dull, I still managed to sit my way through all of Franco's living dead in the desert odyssey without clawing my eyes out. I actually like the look of the zombies and all the people who show up at the Oasis to get eaten are annoying enough to deserve it. It looks good on Blu, Redemption's refusal to do restorations is actually not a bad thing for some of the films they release and with oasis the scratchy yet detailed looking print gives it a real 'revival screening' feel. The odd music and weird atmosphere are interesting but this is still a hard film to recommend as it's a real slog to get through.
Runaway train.
A real find for me as this is one I missed out on first time round. Very well crafted and some great performances including an almost unrecognizable Rebecca De mornay. A sleek well acted melodrama becomes something more thanks to the great direction. Glad I bough this!
