The Invisible Man (James Whale, 1933). Another film that is one of my defaults. Rains' mania is a highlight of the Universal era (along with "Saul Femm"!!) for me.

Now if only they had lost the fricking remake!! Ahem. And breathe......... As mentioned, I've dugged out the auld VHS..... 1st into the slot was Fear Chamber aka Torture Zone (1968, Jack Hill/ Juan Ibanez). Another of Karloff's last films, my favourite being Targets....er, sidetracking!! GET ON WITH IT!! This Mexican tale of a plasticene looking "prehistoric" beastie needing "the blood of terrified women" is on a par with the Coffin Joe films that I've seen. Recommended, if indeed ye can find the bugger. The Rollerblade Seven (Donald G Jackson, 1991) MIA Video. Mere words alone cannot begin to explain the sheer ennui this "film" creates within me. Like all of Scott Shaw's work (I highly recommend his Samurai Vampire Bikers From Hell!!) It belongs to another universe entirely. Watch! as blonde bints rollerskate up and down! See! A metal samurai do sweet FA! Andy Milligan has nothing on this guy, guy. Tonight Vipco's The Diamond Mercenaries!! big box, 89 min

The Night of the Sunflowers (2006) Spanish thriller with a non-linear story line where unconnected strands slowly come together as the movie progresses, on the lines of Two Days in the Valley. The story involves the rape of a woman potholer and subsequent events, involving murder, mistaken identity and corruption. The film's strength is in the script, direction and acting. As characters come and go we learn to care for them despite their often morally dubious decisions and the tragic consequences which follow. To go into any more detail would spoil events for anyone who might wish to see this. Night of the Sunflowers is a fine example of contemporary Spanish film making and plays out in a very intelligent, thought provoking and involving fashion. Highly recommended. |
