The Beyond. 1981. A woman inherits a dilapidated hotel in Louisiana and soon discovers it was built on one of the seven gateways to hell. Classic Fulci movie with plenty eye gauging sequences even on a small budget Giannetto De Rossi's effects are spectacular, Fulci had a vision with his imagination of hell opening up and the dead walking the earth. Katherine MacColl stars as the lead along with David Warbeck who's voice seems to be pitched higher in the new release...or is it just my hearing? I always thought the spider sequence was a laugh with the anamatronic spiders from a close up to a distance, a film that now very much appreciated to the point even Angela enjoyed, I think I have converted her to Italian/American horrors...finally de34cca5a65dd643e0a2b6fc69d28dda.jpg

A meteorite strikes outside a small desert town, this is no ordinary rock it grows in size when in contact with water and threatens to engulf the world , the rocks also petrify what ever they touch. What can be done to save the town and the world. A bunch of rocks doesn't sound partially interesting but have always enjoyed this hidden gem. The town will look very familiar as it's the court house square from back to the future, which as well as this and gremlins has appeared in a number of other films . 8/10 Now watching.

The Babadook. 2014. A single parent grief stricken of her husband's death, decides to read her 6 year old son a book called Mister Babadook which frightens him. Soon her son thinks the monster in the book has manifested itself from the pages to the house and slowly torments them. This was not what I expected this film to be, I intentionally thought this was going to be a boogeyman or ghost in the house horror film but more psychological movie that deals with grief and depression showing itself in different ways and a slow decent into paranoia that Jack Torrance would be proud of. The acting from Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman is good only downside was the slow pace to film a lot and could hardly hear what was being said. The-Babadook-Poster.jpg

Power Force (1991, Charles Lee) It's a G Ho production, so strap in. High octane hi jinx ahoy as you would expect, with nae tiime to draw your breath in this third tier masterclass. Exposition? Just keep shooting ffs Many many people lose their lives. But they are all very naughty, so the ends justifies the means baby!! Ahem. Recommended.

It Comes At Night. 2017. After surviving a virus a man has set up rules with his wife and son, things change when another family come and seek refuge. I picked this up on a blind buy not knowing what I was going into, this isn't a monster movie but more post apocalyptic film where man or human can be the monster. Think the title is more warning as people dream that shows the future of what can happen and also shows what people can dream when they are ill. The film had potential to be good but after 30-40 minutes it slowly went down hill, it had a good suspense that was built up well and acting was decent but the plot wasn't worked out well. Maybe a re-watch will happen but not anytime soon. It_Comes_at_Night.jpg
