Show it to the boy MTDS and tell him if he keeps up the training, he too will be able to master the deadly art of chicken chucking.

I do, and still have no recollection of the Friday the 13th remake. I've had a look on IMDb and obviously hated it because I voted 1/10!

There must be something about Marcus Nispel because I also hated The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) and Pathfinder – all films with horrible visuals, soundtracks and without a clue what the word 'nuance' means. I was astonished to find out Daniel Pearl, who was the cinematographer on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (original) was the DP on both the Friday the 13th and TCM remakes, both over reliant on visual than practical effects.

The Evil Dead remake was also abysmal (and I thought the remake of The Hitcher was pointless), but not as bad as anything helmed by Nispel. With the probable exception of The Purge films, the Platinum Dunes production company is one of the worst things to ever happen to the film industry.

Now, I had a vague recollection of there being a thread to identify films that you may have half a recollection of but I couldn't find it so I'm plonking this plea here as this is a heavily used thread. Obviously I haven't seen this film recently as I can't remember it.

I don't remember much and I doubt it will ring any direct bells with anyone but I'm just hoping someone might know.

I'm pretty sure I watched it on Channel 4, mid to late 90s, late night. I don't think it was horror but it may have been sexy.

I don't even know if it was English language or where it was set other than Europe. Girl, boarding dance school. Not Suspiria, Not Étoile.

I really know this isn't much to go by at all, I don't think my description would do it but if anyone knows what was shown late night on Channel 4 (or BBC 2) throughout the 90s I might just get somewhere.

Better than the first, while not quite as good as quatermass and the pit it's still very enjoyable. Watch out for Sid James as a newspaper reporter. 8.5/10

Really enjoyed this one and some of the special effects are very gruesome for its age. Watch out for a young baby faced Kenneth Cope in an early role 8.5/10

Enjoyable but not a patch on the other movies, and probably the point when the movies started to go down hill a little6.5/10

If not, it could be 13 Frightened Girls!, which sounds brilliant and has a great title!

No, unfortunately not (although I have watched that this year!)

I'm thinking it was 80s. It could have been a European Fame, with penis.

No but yes it does, I can't believe I haven't seen it. I love William Castle. Back in my old public library days this young lad used to come in and talk to me for hours about William Castle films, he must have been only been about 10.

I really want to see it as it sounds really interesting.

Can you remember anything else about the film?
