Yeah it's a bit weird but quite effective and the extreme close-ups of the faces of the perpertrators are pretty vile (the whole point of course). Next one for me'll be Wild Beasts though I hear mixed reviews.

Watched Come out and Play last night.

It's not bad - technically pretty decent - but I didn't find it anywhere near as effective as the original, despite upping the gore factor slightly. It emulates the original very closely indeed, so there's not much in way of surprise, and whereas I've always found the original rather creepy, I didn't find this was at all. It's not a bad film; it's well directed, the leads are very good and believable as a real couple, and a film always gains a point if it has an interesting soundtrack - the drone/synth of this being very effective; but for me, director Makinov (plastering his name over the credits in bold at every opportunity) has simply made a passable copy of an already perfect film, and despite upping the gore has managed to lose both the intensity and insanity.

Rewatched The Warriors last night, brilliant film: well shot, great soundtrack and a hell of a lot of imagination when it came to design the gangs

Watched Twilight Zone The Movie last night.
Great stuff, hadn't seen it for a very long time.
Hard to watch the first story without thinking
about what happened to Vic Morrow and the
two unfortunate children. Horrible stuff. It looked
decent enough on Bluray, while the sound was
very impressive. Just a trailer to watch after.
I'm thinking Black Sabbath tonight for my late
night viewing

I like Twilight Zone - The Movie too.I've got the DVD, which I think was a HMV exclusive.I love the final story with John Lithgow and the Craig Reardon-designed gremlin on the plane wing.There's also some excellent FX by Rob Bottin in the story involving the creepy kid who makes cartoon characters come to life.I can't watch the Vic Morrow story without thinking of the tragic circumstances surrounding it either.

I love the final story too with John Lithgow.
He's so good in it.

The animal cruelty in Wild beasts is pretty disgusting. Beyond that its a fairly standard trashy italian explotation film.

It's in the blood.

Father and son on a hunting trip but difference is they are being hunted by their past. Quite a decent watch.

The Man with the Severed Head

Not bad for a freebie, not bad at all! Wrongly assumed this'd be dog shit. Really enjoyed it
