lf (2).jpg RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE (1943) Vampire Armand Tesla is free again after the stake driven in his heart in WWI is removed after a bombing raid later in WWII.. I had not seen this in a while so good to revisit. Really enjoyed watching this one through again. Bela plays the vampire Tesla as Dracula in all but name and it really feels like it could be a Universal movie. Good atmospheric scenes of the graveyard, a reluctant werewolf and vampire hunter Lady Jane make this a recommendation. |

MV5BOGY3NTc1OTktNmQ4Ni00YTU2LWI3YjktYzBkZDhlYjUzZGJmXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTQxNzMzNDI@._V1_.jpg FINAL EXAM (1981) College kids studying for their 'final exam' are being killed by a knife wielding maniac.. Quite a slow burner this one. Apart from a killing at the start of the movie, most of the running time is taken up by the stupid activities of a frat group. Only in the about the last half hour does the killer start his rampage, doing in most of the cast one after the other in that thirty minutes. For me, the best part is that you have no idea who this killer is. You see him clearly face on but he has no background, no name and no motivation for his killings. That's the most frightening part. |

Saw (2004) As good a film as Saw is i've always thought it a bit of a one trick pony and when you know the resolution it's a kind of one watch film so Saturday night on Blu-ray was only my second ever watch of this classic film. Twice in 20 years, haha. There's a bit more to it than my memory remembered - i'd forgotten all the back story for a start and genuinely recalled it as being two men trapped in a room and that was that. Second time round i once again found it really enjoyable if not as gory as i thought, although things will definitely improve in that department in subsequent films, but one questioned nagged me all the way through. How come neither Elwes nor Whannel - the two trapped - noticed that Jigsaw - the body supposedly dead in the center of the room - had to be breathing and clearly wasn't a corpse. |
