It's attempts to do a female Freddy vibe, as dead prom queen Mary Lou returns to kill off people responsible for her death and is very full on 80s cheese, it's no masterpiece but i enjoyed it.
And it's got Micheal Ironside in it.

The 3rd continues the Mary Lou rampage but is a bit naffer.

There's a 4th but it's unrelated and i couldn't be arsed.

Yeah 4 is on Prime also didnt see 3 on it.

Honest Thief (Mark Williams, 2020)

"... and this week I 'ave been mostly directing an action movie....."
Ahem.
Recommended to me as "Taken 5" cough, this was yer average "wrong man" scenario with some emotional stuff thrown in .... boomers need love too it seems cough.
He has his special set of skillets, or something, as usual ...
If this is what Hypocritewood has to offer, then back I races to the miasma of crud/ more Everything Is Terrible (3 sequels!!!)/ Malaysian madness (they sit there, mocking me ....).
Ahem.



Hellroller (1992, GJ Levinson)

Where we learn all about disabled rights. Feast your eyes on one man's journey through a landscape littered with doubts, internalized dreams and an awfy lot of senseless violence.
Uniquely awful yet compelling, the acting is on par with porn, but the mise en scene is just wonderful, strewn with hubcaps and grafitti motifs.
Great double bill with The Amazing Mr. No Legs




Exorcist III (1990, William Peter Blatty)

Where George C Scott shouts a lot.
I love Legion, the novel he wrote as a direct sequel cough, and I just never saw him as Kindermann. Sorry.
This being the bog standard version and not this DC.
Dourif just dominates a rather confusing film. The loving shots of "those steps" seem like recaps in order to keep the audience's minds focused. I was in a funny mood when I watched it, so maybe that has something to do with it tbh ....

As a Saturday Night Fever sequel its pretty ace

A group of scientists goto a remote island to study the effects of radiation . The effect is it's mutated some crabs, into gigantic super intelligent crabs who drain the intelligence and memory of those they kill. It's quite gory for its time with beheadings and limbs being snapped off! 7/10


It's new years eve so it's my annual watch of this.

PROPHECY (1979)


Trouble between the owner of a paper mill and the native Americans living there leads enviromentalist Robert Foxworth to investigate the mill. He finds the mill is mutating animals through the water in the lakes..

Good horror using of course practical effects for the mutatated creatures. It's a shame they decided to go with the mutated bear idea as the original plan was more in line with the creature on the poster design and how cool would that have been?
I remember when this was released I heard the radio spots quite often and sounded really scary.

Max Cloud (Martin Owen)

New Scott Adkins flick. A mixture of Tron, Jumaji and Gamer. Haven't laughed as much in ages, mainly due to Adkins' character, which is a parody of whom he usually plays (think of a certain space jerk from Futurama etc ). Woke AF, but that just made me laugh even more tbh.
Enjoyed this more than Seized, which was very generic tbh.

Pennisula

Follow up to Seoul Station and Train To Busan, where 4 years later, Korea is quarantined and some refuges go back to retrieve millions of Dollars. This is where they encounter a Army group and other survivors. I loved Train To Busan and this one is a slower Movie but does have it's moments.

Executive Target

Michael Madsen is a convicted Stunt Car Driver who is busted out of a Prison Van by a rogue Army unit in order to assist in the kidnapping of The American President, played by Roy Schider. This is a P/M Entertainment Movie with it's usual shootouts and explosions, but alas isn't one of the better ones but it does pass the time.

I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu

This appears to be a legit sequel to the original, even though the cover makes it look like it's a sequel to the remake. Well Camille Keaton is abducted along with her Daughter by relatives of the people she got revenge on and follows the same blueprint of violence and the revenge. The villains do a good job of making you want to see them get their just desserts but the Film is too long. When, I 1st saw on the cover that it was over 140 minutes long, I thought it was a mistake or it was like the Ocean's 8 cover, where they incorporated the extras into the running time, but no, it's that long, but it didn't feel like it to me. It did have a couple of false endings, where I thought it was going to leave it at a fitting conclusion, due to the nature of these films, but unfortunately, they had to go and include more. I think that this film did not go through the Editing process.

Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory

Gene Wilder is the titular character who opens up his Chocolate Factory to the 5 lucky people who could find a golden ticket in his Chocolate Bars. A classic film in which the Schoolteacher who basically is an idiot who openly admits that he couldn't work out a sum and changing The Class Schedule, so that there is a Test before the Children haven't learned it as well as Roy Kinnear, who excels as the desperate Dad trying to please his spoilt Daughter. You can feel his despair, as he tries everything he can to reason with her and incentivize his staff, who were frantically opening up Chocolate Bars instead of what they were supposed to be doing. You can actually sense his relief when a Golden Ticket was eventually found.
