Humongous

A group of kids get shipwrecked on a remote Canadian Island. They soon discover they are not alone. A deformed man beast haunts the island and begins killing off the teens one by one. Directed by Paul Lynch the director of Prom night this one does nothing new but does it well. Its got lots of atmosphere to it and actually manages to deliver suspense. I've enjoyed this since picking up the Avco Embassy pre-cert many years back. The new blu-ray looks solid and has the choice of R-rated and unrated.

Rollercoaster

An entertaining thriller that has one foot in the disaster flick when a psycho begins derailing Rollercoaster's and demanding money from the Amusement park owners. A safety inspector begins hunting him down and a cat and mouse game between the pair ensues. Solid thriller with some genuinely great disaster scenes and some great performances including Timothy Bottoms as the villain, George Segal as the safety inspector and Richard Widmark as an FBI agent. Worth checking out.
