The Shortcut (2009) Two brothers discover a rarely used shortcut through woods which crosses the land of a sinister farm owned by a man the adults of the town would rather not talk about. The Shortcut is an odd film. It's perfectly serviceable, has a few creepy moments and some scenes of tension. It's well acted and well made yet i just wouldn't recommend it even though there's fundamentally nothing at all wrong with it and as the credits rolled i knew i'd enjoyed it. It seemed to lack some sort of edge to it all and even it's shocking finale seemed a bit flat... yet strangely watchable. It's the ultimate average horror film. |

Carry on Abroad. 1972 A group of holidaymakers head to the Spanish resort Elsbells, from the start its a nightmare that turns to laughter. This one is like carry on meets fawlty towers, this one is run by Pete Butterworth and Hattie Jaques. This does have some good one liners and cross communications with guests trying to complain but end up complaining to each other. There is the usual carry on gang, Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Bernard Bresslaw, Barbara Windsor, Kenneth Connor. This was the last carry on movie for Charles Hawtrey as he went into semi retirement and also partially drunk throughout the movie. 8 out of 10.

I managed to get a box set of them a couple of years ago when it was on offer. Carry on Camping and Carry on Screaming were two that i particularly enjoyed. But they're all good fun. The combination of Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Barbara Windsor and Hattie Jacques was always hilarious. |

I did try to watch it on YouTube but switched it off about 20-30 mins into it, it wasn't Korloff's greatest movie IMHO,.
