I got home from a family meal, stuck it on and ten minutes in promptly fell asleep thanks to the beer. Woke up through that ending. Set it playing again and watched iot properly with that odd slightly unreal feeling I seem to have when waking up. I think that helped some. Certainly an oddity though and highly recommended.

St George's Day (2012) A good cast of former Eastenders, mixed with wannabee Eastenders, minus Danny Dyer who is in Eastenders, are wasted in this directionless, actionless, overlong, mess of a modern London gangland film. Lacking any of the humour that made Guy Ritchie's similar films so much fun, St George's Day almost borders on the pointless with it's story that has ideas but never fully utilizes any of them and results in a shouty, sweary, seen it all before bore. |

The Children (1980) The Children (of Ravensback) is a creepy little low budget film that doesn't promise much on the surface, but ends up delivering a fairly entertaining little horror film by the time the credits roll. The parents of Ravensback are all in a panic as their children have not come home after school. The school bus has been way-laid by means of a toxic gas cloud and all the children have become irradiating zombie-esque monsters with a vendetta against adults (particularly their own parents) and a penchant for black nail varnish. Despite the premise and the budget involved the film manages to carry some tension with decent effect, almost exhibiting a Village of the Damned quality at times ....and although both are certainly very different films, the tone to Ravensback often reminded me of the '60s classic. The effects work is also pretty decent, and although a few of the kills are carried out off-screen there is a decent amount of slaughter and adults vs. children action, which in turn helps he story along with minimal lulls in pace. The score also reminded me of Friday the 13th, which was no surprise, as having watched the film I discovered that both scores were done by Harry Manfredini the same year. Overall, I had fun with this one and would definitely watch it again. Originally posted here: Nightmare USA Films Discussion Thread |

I am a ghost Never heard of this and come across it and googled it reviews where good so I gave it a go. Wasnt disappointed filmed in b/w its a film with a difference. Films about ghost seances mediums etc are shown from the person / character etc point of view, This is shown entirely as if from the ghost point of view Emily. She is the only character in the film and the rest is just voices as if she hearing someone from the living side contacting her. Emily doesn't realise she dead at first and goes about what she thinks is her every day life. The film plays a lot of scenes over and over again but slowly explaining more along the way in each scene . Its a extremely slow burner but very well made and interesting as it slowly plodds along until you find out what really happened to her. Felt the the film could have been longer and helped Emily move on instead just ends when you find out exactly how she died . The actress who plays Emily is very convincing as a ghost . Either way the film is very interesting and won't dissapoint . its also a short film barely over a hr. If never seen this film then I recommend seek it out watch and enjoy. http://rare-horror.com/2014/03/27/i-...t-2012-review/ |
