REMAINS. From the Steve niles graphic novel, its about a zombie plague that leves a disparate group of survivors holed up in a casino in reno.

A lot more 'cheap and cheerful' than the sleeve would suggest and certainly not as groundbreaking as the sleeve describes. (claims to redefine zombie horror for the 21st century.) Its actually fairly generic. Nontheless its also a lot of fun and passes its 84 minute running time briskly. Certainly worth checking out.
i thought Remains was shit, it's a piss poor TV movie of an excellent graphic novel, has really bad acting, bad direction and some truly awful dialogue. The only saving grace of this film is Lance Reddick and even he's slumming it. Just pure pooh. Check out the Graphic Novel from Steve Niles, it's a cracking read.

I probably will, Its bound to be better. That said I would not rate the film so low, fans of trashy zombie movies will probably find it enjoyable. It's just nothing exceptional and feels very much seen-it-all-before. I've sat through and enjoyed far worse zombie fare than this (nightmare city, burial ground, zombie 3,4 and 5) but then I have a very high tolerance for this kind of film.

The Case of the Cold Fish (1995)

Murder mystery comedy that's something of a little gem.
I'd read some good things about it and must say it really is fun.

KISS OF THE TARANTULA - Really enjoyed. Alienated teen kills people she doesn't like with her pet spiders. Although I'm sure in some ways it's dismissable as yesterday's drive in cast-off with nothing really to sell it - no gore, no nudity - it does have a faintly creepy undercurrent, with uncle of spider murder girl constantly pawing at her for a bit of incest, and on top of this has that weird seventies atmosphere in abundance... que bursts of dour electronic soundtrack noise grafted to scenes of girl stroking pet tarantulas with sinister dolls lurking in background - what focus group would allow that these days? Unheralded and probably a 'meh' from most, but I liked.

Default The Sentinel (1977)

The Sentinel (1977)
Have'nt watched this for awhile,has a great cast,and for a Michael Winner film fairly adept direction,well up until he rolls out the freaks then he's as subtle as a kick in the knackers from a size ten boot.

Wotons Wake- Watched this on the Arrow Obssesion BD, an interesting film.
Start's out with plenty of menace and propect of Jack the Ripper of Phantom of the Opera style horror's, but after a while it just get's a wee bit silly and the King Kong impersonation get's quite tiersome quickly.
It still provides an interesting insight into a manical freak's mind and his obssesion with trinkits. A nice little extra worthy of Arrow's great De Palma package. Surrprised that it was filmed in 1962 though, I guess that means De Palma was aiming for that 1940's look.

SUPERSONIC MAN (1979)

He can turn a gun into a banana.


Batman can't do that.


That is all.
