Death by Invitation (1971) The wonderful Shelby Leverington plays Lise, a young woman who befriends and works her way in with a well to do family who burned her ancestor, or perhaps her - it's not actually clear - at the stake for witchcraft centuries earlier. Death by Invitation isn't your typical horror film, it mixes chills with a psychedelic eeriness - the sort of cheap movie making Anna Biller would riff on years later - and it's most memorable scene involves Lise telling the story of a tribe of man eating women to a prospective victim in a scene of weird eroticism. In truth Death by Invitation doesn't really do much. It's over talky, perhaps due to it's very low budget, but it held me in a transfixed state throughout, or rather Leverington's performance did, in a way that only cheap n' nasty American regional movies of the time can achieve. I enjoyed Death by Invitation, but it's only recommended to a certain few. |

Friday The 13th Part 3D (1982, Steve Miner) I know that the convention here is the preamble before the inevitable slaughter .... but really? Though on the other hand tis nice to see a worse film than Halloween 4 Jason a tad more 'human' in this as well ... and they don't skimp on the 3D, even if the yoyo and popcorn bits were just a smidgen too far imho.

Mindhorn (2016, Sean Foley) Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh) plays the titular 90s tv detective whom is dragged into the 21st century. An odd beast. I get the impression that by trying to straddle two genres, something slipped down the middle .... I laughed .... just not enough. Shame, as had my expectations raised by a rather amusing trailer Ho hum. Fielding's not in it btw
