Fahrenheit 451 god i love dystopian films. not as bleak as i remembered though, decent enough print, 1:85 enhanced etc, and decent enough features for a UK disc. |

Peter Watkins's Privilege A superb film that is wickedly satirical, scathing and absolutely hilarious in equal measures. It seems eerily prescient in an age where people revere the stereotypes of the X-Factor on the goggle box. The apple advert scene is hands down one of the funniest things that I've seen in aeons. A must see. Bill Lustig's Maniac After watching Winding Refn's Pusher with Lustig on the commentary the other day I thought it was high time to give Lustig's infamous Maniac a view, and lo and behold who should be introducing it, but Winding Refn. Spinell is excellent as the deranged killer and I think that the obvious nihilism and horror is underpinned with some seriously dark humour, or maybe I'ma just a sick puppy? The effects are deservedly infamous and still stand the test of time although I think it's a shame that the head shot gets more of the glory than the finale with his vengeful victims, but hey, that head trauma is mightily impressive. I think it'd make an absolutely perfect serial killer double bill with Gerald Kargl's Angst.

Yeah, two great choices there... Maniac is a fantastic movie - I first saw it via the Intervision tape and even after BBFC interference it was still great... Anyone seen The Last Horror Movie ? I've always wondered about this one...

Amazingly I've never heard of it. Gonna rectify that as it sounds pretty interesting.

That's the one I was thinking of . I saw the title in the programme for the 2003 Cardiff Film Festival (first year at Uni), and for some reason the title has always stuck with me. From what I can remember it sounded like a Man Bites Dog rip-off kind of thing, probably rubbish . . .
