Sequel to a well received original (Be nice to have a UK Blu-Ray) sees a Camp Councilor murder people who she deems troublesome. It's short, with some kills and a rather funny scene where 3 people are dressed up as Freddy, Jason and Michael Myers trying to kill each other. It's not bad but it's not a go to film year in, year out. Much prefer The Burning.

Terrifier 2

Art The Clown is back and is killing in more gorier than can ever be imagined. It's too long but the mannerisms from David Howard Thornton make worth watching.

Can't wait for the third one, it's going to be beyond extreme.

Live

Having realized that I've appeared to start October Horror Film watching early. I found this Film in a CEX and it's one I've been after for a bit. It sees a TV Executive played by Eva Mendes create a live show of Russian Roulette. Shot in a Documentary style, this is enthralling with some good performances from Mendes as well as Jeffrey Dean Morgan and David Krumholtz.

And he promised Terrifier 4 going to push even more boundaries than the 3rd.

It's very weird and a shame that 88 Films didn't have the right to release it with the first and second sequels.

There *was* a DVD release from Anchor Bay in 2004

I was suggesting that Anchor Bay held the rights to the film in 2004 - the last time it had been released to a UK market

Blu-rays were not introduced until 2006, and the first titles were '50 First Dates', 'The Fifth Element', 'Hitch', 'House of Flying Daggers', 'Underworld: Evolution', 'xXx' and 'The Terminator'

I luckily got myself a used copy of the Scream Factory Blu for less than a tenner. It?s annoying that it?s not been out on Blu in the uk though.

THE INVITATION - There are times when I think "thank f*ck I'm such a boring horror nerd" - it means I probably don't have to worry about being invited to too many dinner parties. Anyway, here are some hip young raconteurs who have gathered to touch base and reconnect after various scrapes and adventures. Wine, edgy banter and a few plush sofas. There's a pall in the air, though - the host talks of a mysterious cult, then steps aside to introduce John Carroll Lynch, whose hangdog mug always casts an ominous shadow. What follows is a steady, sallow-lit trek from claustrophobia to paranoia to mayhem (most of the crap soirees I've had to put up with stopped just before the mayhem). A justly feted exercise in chamber piece dynamics gone toxic.

DEATH SQUAD - Probably the subgenre I least associate with France is the sleazy, ultraviolent cop action thriller. Those scales have now been ripped from my eyes by 'Death Squad', a wallow in Parisian vice in which mullet-toting gendarme Gerard is hot on the trail of ruthless kingpin The Greek. I will just say, I was expecting a bit more salaciousness after reading all the blurb and the notices online, but outsized expectations aside, it's a lean, mean watch that thrusts along with a slickness that belies its trashy atmosphere. In fact, what won me over most of all was its era-specific texture; that mid-eighties inner city scuzz vibe we're so used to seeing in films set in New York of the time is all the more striking when it plays out in the old world.

INTREPIDOS PUNKS - I like it when movies actually play the way their titles sound - this eighties Mexican gangsploitation movie features a bunch of, yep, intrepidos punks who carve up the neighbourhood, lop off the hand of a copper's wife, blitz a bank dressed as nuns, and spend an inordinate amount of time hanging out in caves. "Intrepidos Punks! Intrepidos Punks!" yelps the soundtrack, over and over, just so we know. These intrepidos punks are not real punks of course, and look more like they're auditioning for a glee club version of 'Mad Max 2 - The Musical', which adds to the whacky charm. One I enjoyed.

Eddie the Eagle (2015)

There's a scene where Hugh Jackman as Eddie's washed up former ski jumper and now coach does a 90m ski jump in jeans, shirt and shades, cigarette in mouth before taking a swig from a bottle of bourbon at the bottom of the slope as revelers cheer him on all to the blaring tune of Thin Lizzy's Cowboy Song.

Haha! Cool as f*ck!! Definitely a Logan moment in a very un-Logan movie.

Absolutely loved that scene.

It's such a brilliant scene in a genuinely funny, moving, and uplifting film, one worthy of the 'feelgood' descriptor.
