Cheapish? Tis worth a punt then imho.

After watching TBWP again the other night i'm up for more found footage. Hell i even bought one this week - The Paranormal Diaries: Clop Hill. Done well they can be very effective.

I think Atticus will be going in the old basket tomorrow, thanks. For what it's worth i really liked Banshee Chapter.

Goverment sanctioned tampering with Lovecraftian forces?
Er, about as sold as you can get
As I say it's nearly there for me. I'm incredibly fussy ..... with this genre. It is literally the last shot that ruined The Last Broadcast for me .... up til then you could take Blair and flush it (and I love that film)
Ahem.
Enjoy!!

I thought it fitting that this week be devoted to a hugely influential filmmaker who died last week. With a vast number of films he contributed to as director, writer or producer (sometimes all three), it would be great to see your top ten:

Umberto Lenzi Films
