Mannequin And this was successful?? A more sick and disturbing film I haven't seen since whenever. Truly Cannon fodder . The story pretends to be winsome and charming, be fooled not by musical numbers ... after all The Apple has musical numbers . Ahem. Kim Cattrall double bill ..... Sex & The City 2 Sarah Jessica Parker has a massive boat doesn't she? Not quite Jack Taylor but still .... If films narrated by a human null are your bag, sign right up. Not quite as appalling as I had hoped tbh. Until they go to ... foreign climes ... cough. Then we hit paydirt Next.

The Beast Must Die! Amicus try and cash in on blaxploitation by casting Calvin Lockhart ... where say, Stewart Grainger might have been the choice before. A group of sorts congregate at a stately mansion. They all have the obligatory dirty little secrets etc. Will one guest regret their invitation?? I'm not sure as the murky print and endless day-for-night scenes began to bore me rigid. Lockhart's blouse being the standout ... and that says it all. Next!!!

The Tale of the Dean's Wife 1970- Pure trash with a capital T. Some college kids want to blackmail the dean by having a orgy at his house while he's spiked on LSD. I laughed all the way through its 1 hour running time. The acting was terrible, the story was nonsense, the "roughie" scenes are hilarious,i highly recommend it

Monsters (2010) Gareth Evans debut film is a bit of a masterpiece in making a five hundred thousand dollars budget seem like it's on the scale of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, convincing us that the Mexican / US border is a no go area patrolled by the military as towering squid like creatures stalk the earth. A mix of road movie, romance and sci-fi is a bit unlikely yet Evans, along with great performances from Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able, who share good chemistry,has produced an affecting and suspenseful sci-fi character drama |

Stung (2015) A posh garden party soon goes to shit when mutated killer wasps go on the rampage stinging the party goers to death or incubating them with more giant mutant killer wasps. Anyone who likes giant mutant killer wasp flicks is going to love this German made, American set, monster mash. The wasps are lovingly created using gooey practical effects as well as the usual CGI and there's gore galore for exploitation lovers. But, for a horror comedy it's not that scary nor indeed that funny, the two leads don't have much in the way of chemistry but Lance Henriksen as the local mayor brings a certain style to proceedings. However i think there are enough giant mutant killer wasps on show to overlook any faults and i recommend this to lovers of creature features. |

The Time Machine 1960. A scientist invents a time travelling machine and uses it to glimpse at what the future will be like but goes further than he anticipated. This was a brilliant take on the novel by H.G. Wells that was a great read, Rod Taylor stars as George who nobody believed in his theory or time travel. It does have some fantastic effects and stop motion that actually work than other movies from the 60s but are a bit daft and laughable. Alan Young plays Filby in a dual role of present and future friend who may understand George's story and Yvette Mimieux plays Weena of the Eloi people. From start to finish this is entertaining and never gets dull with age. 10+

Nails (2017) A woman paralyzed following a car accident desperately tries to get her family and doctors to believe that she is being terrorized by a malevolent presence in her hospital room. Classy little British horror film with a great central performance from The Descent's Shauna Macdonald. At first it seems she could be so traumatized that it may all be in her imagination but as the film continues we get back story regarding the hospital and former patients and things become a little clearer. The Nails character is a beautifully realized grotesque creation that is quite creepy especially when it carves words into Macdonald's body using it's er' nails. Although the plot is fairly slight and there's not an awful lot of action - what can you do when your main character is paralyzed in bed? - Nails is a disturbing and deft little thriller that i really enjoyed. |
