H6 Diary of a Serial Killer

Philleh, I watched this film you recommended.

As far as censorship is concerned it doesn't surprise me that the BBFC passed it uncut as the violence is rather restrained. There are only 2 scenes that could have had problems here. The scene at 17m and the scene at 46m. These are the lengthy torture scenes involving women. The latter scene is virtually a re run of the first scene. Anyway there was never any question that the BBFC would have considered cuts here. The women for a start are allowed to keep their clothes on, which greatly reduces any chance of cuts. Even during the several rape scenes (Part of the torture scenes) the attacker keeps his clothes on. We know for sure that in a more exploitative film this would never happen. This type of restraint will always go down well with the BBFC. Then of course you have the chainsaw murders, but again there is no explicit detail just shots of blood splashing over faces. Apart from the rape and chainsaw attack there is no other violence. I thought the scenes were quite acceptable. Of course there is other violence in the film directed at men. The staircase murder was quite sadistic as well as drawn out.

Compared to Murder Set Pieces - very tame. But it is a far better film, and Antonio Frau as the killer turns in a excellent performance.

5/5!!!!

Whatever you do,stay clear of Lost Boys:The Tribe.Biggest pile of steaming dogturd I have ever seen in my life.Not even Corey Fledman and a quick appearance by a drugged out Corey Haim could save it.Already heard talk of a part 3.....GOD HELP US

I suppose if there hadn't been a Lost Boys 1 it would be passable.Not even the naked breasts can save it lol

I bought Pieces for ?1.00 in Woolworths - not a bad little film and well worth a quid. Someone mentioned it here but I can't remember who (sorry) but they commented on Linda Day's "Baaaaaastarrrrrrd" so when it came on I was in fits of laughter, especially as she says it three times and each time more hysterical - brilliant. The ending is rather bizarre though and totally unexpected.

I also bought Spiders, also from Woolies for a quid. Hmmmm.... Shite mostly but some good bits... again worth a quid.

Another purchase was Hatchet. I'm glad I bought this at a bargain price because I was very disappointed. There is some nice work here with some decent scenes but mostly it was just re-treads of older films we've seen (a hundred times) before like Friday 13th etc. Wasn't sure if it was meant to be a horror or a piss take to be honest.

It's a hilarious film. The 'Bad chop suey' sequence is a real giggle, plus Paul L Smiths's Hulk impersonation during his attempted arrest.

That's a shame, I was kind of looking forward to seeing the Frog brothers back in action. I'll just have to stick to the comic series they brought out to coincide with it 'Lost Boys: Reign of Frogs' that's pretty good.

Yeah,only Corey feldman returns with an end credits appearance by Corey Haim.Jamison Newlander does appear as Alan Frog in the alternate endings on the dvd/blu-ray though and I have read that the 3 of them will apparently be the stars of Lost Boys 3,If anything comes of it.The director of The Tribe has said that it's been quite successful for Warner so we may well see the third part soon.
