Me too, it's really good with a great story, a creepy atmosphere and some nice FX work.

Btw Some nice ones in there (A Boy and His Dog is so much fun it should have had at least several sequels with more adventures of our heroes imho)...but nothing from the fragant harbour?

I'd also love to see some sequels, although at the same time, it's such a unique little film. Nothing yet, but I've plenty of things lined up (too much really!), especially thanks to your recommendations.

Like its predecessor its not as good as the review blurbs say, and theres some very dodgy acting and an at time surreal portrayal of the english in the movie but wierdly I found myself enjoying it nontheless. Don't expect a bona fide classic and you should be ok!

It's a bit cut too apparently. The BBFC gave it an uncut 18 certificate with a description of "strong horror, bloody violence, sex and sexualised violence" so Lionsgate resubmitted an edited version short of one minute so the new consumer advice now reads "strong horror, bloody violence and sex"

I wouldn't worry, The Hamiltons was tripe anyway.

Here's another one I'd really recommend BE and Dem (if you haven't seen it):
The Return of the Vampire (1943)
A very special film as Lugosi basically reprises his Dracula role (without the Dracula name) in WW2 London under the blitz!

Not seen it Bdc.

Is the Sony release the one to go for?

[Make Them Die Slowly]

CLEANSKIN. Another impulse buy from the supermarket. Sean Bean plays a damaged ex-soldier now secret service agent tracking down a cell of Muslim extremist, suicide bombers. This is impressive stuff, incredibly violent for a 15 certificate and moves along at a fair pace. What's most interesting about the film is the sympathetic portrait of the main terrorist, with multiple flashbacks filling out his story. Recommended.

I finally got round to watching Razorback the other day and was quite impressed. It was nowhere near bad as most reviews say it is, I found it to be funny, quite atmospheric in places and beautifully shot with unusual compositions.

I only have the vanilla UK Anchor Bay DVD and would like to know if the extras are worth upgrading to the two disc edition?

[Make Them Die Slowly]

I watched my all time favourite film with the boy MTDS this afternoon, THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. First off the Blu-ray looks great and really adds to the viewing experience of the film. I love this film on so many levels, from it's anti-god and anti-religious stance, it's set design and lighting that borrow so much from German Expressionism right through to some of the borderline hysteria that passes as acting from some of the cast. The film positively drips with images of death, funeral rites and resurrection. I also like the very knowing camp humour that runs throughout the film which is often mixed with the macabre.
