The Haunted 1991 The Smurl Family move to a duplex after surviving a hurricane, find out there house is haunted by four ghosts and a demon. After turning to the church and are refused help, they seek help from Ed and Lorraine Warren. This is a decent T.V Movie, Its not scary, but can be creepy and not over done with the special effects that can be off putting, Jefferey DeMunn and Sally Kirkland give out good performances as the Jack and Janet Smurl, that can make the audience feel their sympathy at being tormented by the haunting and not getting much help or support, as where they go something follows, and trying to protect their children. The Movie is based on the book written by the Smurl's and The warren's, which the movie is very close, and more creepy and worth a good night time read. 8 out of 10.

a hammer wannabe that fails on nearly every level, acting, atmosphere and story. the film starts in the past when a gypsy wedding is interrupted by a vampire who takes the bride for his mate, jump forward to modern times well 1965 and the vampire(or is he as its never clear if he is that or a warlock) are released when a group of friends go potholing, all but one of the friends ends up dead(ish) and the survivor sets out to investigate, finding love, swinger parties and black magic along the way. sadly its not as good as it sounds and is let down by poor acting and direction and a villain that looks and sounds like he would be more happy sucking cock than biting a big breasted virgins neck! 5/10 now watching(Brion James and Uncle George) |

superman-extended-cut.jpg SUPERMAN THE MOVIE (1978) 3 Hour version. Oh man. Fantastic. SUPERMAN THE MOVIE was always for me the best superhero movie ever and this cut just makes it even better. Many, many scenes and extra dialogue that I had never seen or heard before. Just a dream come true. |

Remember seing superman at the cinema on a huge screen, bigger than the ones we have now, the good old days of when you went pics to watch something you actually fancied . Nowadays very little temps me and occasionally I just go for sake of it because it's now affordable at 4.99 at cue cinema . and a vast majority of films do need to be seen on big screen , others not so . |

Queens of evil queens-of-evil-poster.jpg Pretty obscure fantasy/horror that i was vaguely aware of from it being featured in the 'Art of the Nasty' book, i thought it sounded interesting so when i noticed it on Youtube i decided to give it the once over. (Although the print is only VHS quality) The film begins with a hippified Ray Lovelock driving about to a Dylan style song (which Lovelock sang) till he comes across a broken down old guy in a posh car. Helping the guy fix it they start having a conversation about the hippy lifestyle which disgusts the man, the pair have a falling out and this ultimately ends with the old guy crashing into a tree and dying. Feeling a bit on edge Lovelock decides to go off road when he spots some cops and heads into some woods, finding a shed to sleep in he crashes out. On awakening he finds himself being welcomed by three young women who live a secluded lifestyle in a solitary house deep in the woods. queens-51.jpg The rest of the film follows him being slowly seduced by the women in turn, and being bewildered and bewitched by their strange lifestyle, supernatural abilities and pop art house (giant portraits of the women on the walls and trees in the living room). The film has a fairytale/myth style atmosphere, with moments recalling tales of Hansel and Gretel/ Goddesses and even Biblical elements all played out in that early 70's Euro cult way with some dodgy editing and music. I really enjoyed the surreal feel and although the final denouement seemed a bit underwhelming it's a film i think should at least have a U.K DVD release because it has a lot of interesting stuff going on. Although it has to be said that apart from one scene there's not much in the way of blood and the lovemaking scenes don't really show the goods, which is a shame because if the film had been a bit juicier i'm sure it would have a bigger following. Even from the bad copy i watched you can tell it would look beautiful in a decent print.(which somebody must own,just take a look at this trailer.) As it was i really enjoyed it, it's really a mood piece but luckily i was in the right kind of mood at the time. 8/10
