Spoilt for choice there D!! Beyond The Door (1974) A rather loony film. Ostensibly an Exorcist ripoff, I chose instead to treat it like a Mike Leigh film ![]() ![]()

![]() I assumed everything in your drawer would be 'new to you' as per in prior years. I suppose it's good to have some back-ups. I'm really looking forward to watching Incident in a Ghostland myself, as it sounds really interesting. One for next year hopefully. Advance warning on We Are the Flesh; I really want to read your thoughts on this, but anticipate that you will loathe it (arty-farty) - I am nothing if not sadistic. ![]() ![]() |

Island of terror. A reclusive scientist is doing research on a remote island that goes wrong and ends up unleashing a army of weird creatures that look like turtles with antennas that go on the rampage devouring everyones bones. This could have been one seriously rubbish film indeed as the creatures look absolutely hilarious ![]() it is actually surprisingly suspenseful and extremely well acted too, with the usual superb performance from the great Mr Peter Cushing, who is quite witty in this one. Not exactly a classic of the genre, but still an enjoyable watch that held my attention throughout and which I rate similary to The Blood Beast Terror. so will give it a respectable 72 out of 100.

![]() December 30th (2) Caltiki, the Immortal Monster (1959) Basically this is Riccardo Freda's version of Hammer classic X the Unknown (1956). Part sci-fi, part horror, this is actually a bit of a mess until a frantic last half hour which makes the film for me and it ends up a lot of gloopy fun. I watched the full aperture version of the film which is on the disc as an extra. Why, well basically because Mario Bava expert Tim Lucas says in the booklet that it's the best way to appreciate second unit director Mario Bava's work in the effects department as all his scenes were shot open matte so watching in 1:33:1 allows you to watch it as filmed by Bava with his effects work totally uncut. |

![]() Very enjoyable and a lot of fun, as mentioned elsewhere a great 80s feel to the movie, this is what the transformers films should of been like ,lots of nice little nods to the cartoon and G1 toys. 8/10 Watched this a few weeks ago. What's the world coming too first a good transformers movie and now an excellent Dc film that doesn't have crap CGI effects, the underwater scenes are stunning and the film shows just how powerful Aquaman is. Jason Momoa is a great aquaman and the film flew by and seemed less than the two and half runtime. If DC/Warner can continue this , marvel might have a fight on there hands. Think the quality of film and the money it's taking DC/Warner must release they need to get rid of Snyder and employ James Wan full time. 8.5/10 |
