La ragazza del vagone letto:
Camera Obscura, who have picked up where Sazuma left off, have done a fantastic job with their first Italian Genre Cinema Collection release - a play off of
Night Train Murders (itself a play off of the many rape revenge films inspired by Craven's
The Last House on the Left), but is more seedy and less violent. It is also not as good as many of its predecessors, and being a fairly late entry into the craze tends to focus more on the debauchery and sex side of the proceedings.
6/10
Drag Me to Hell:
- Enjoyable enough, but a cast of unlikeable characters, some slow plot pacing, and a tad too much CGI spoil this abit. The ending is a refreshing change from the usual mainstream servings of bullshit though.
6/10
Executive Koala:
A Japanese oddity (but what were you expecting?!
) from the Director of
The Calamari Wrestler, this is a darkly comic, martial arts murder mystery - with giant animals. Not recommended viewing if you're high.
