Dragged Across Concrete (2018)
I absolutely loved Zahler's Bone Tomahawk, an outstanding western, so was looking forward to this.
Unfortunately the opening hour was so slow moving that it felt like it was dragging me across concrete but it did improve once Mel and Vince began trailing the robbers across town, eventually becoming a less unhinged and smaller scale version of Ben Wheatley's Free Fire albeit with added disemboweling.
Disappointing but worth a reappraisal in future.
The Tomb: Devil's Revenge (2019)
F*cking hell! This really did feel like being dragged along concrete, by the balls.
William Shatner stars and he's f*cking terrible, hammy as can be without any redeeming qualities whatsoever. Fellow Star Trekker Jeri Ryan tries her best in a thankless support role but nothing could prepare her or the viewer for Shatner's shiteness in this largely plotless excuse for a movie.
Despite the devil's of the title getting plenty of screen time they unfortunately fall into the trap of looking like a poorly realised Doctor Who monster from the seventies.
Avoid at all costs.
