Rituals. 1977. I thought I would give this film another look at, first viewing was a hit or a miss as it was a stupid badly edited version which for a Hal Holbrook film is disgraceful. It does have rip off feeling from Deliverance but doesn't have anyone making another man squeal like a piggy but does have a man scream out with a bear trap. The film does have a tone of atmosphere as the main group have no idea of the backwoods yet the stalker knows every hide away place and short cuts, this is slowly becoming a appreciative film for me now.

Showed a mate Harold & Maude, as he has one of those "1001 films you have to see ..." tomes. Regardless, who needs an excuse to revisit this charming little tale of two souls finding each other in this crazy, mixed up world. I suppose I should mention the comedic portrayal of suicide attempts, but since we're all adults here, and the film is 50 years old ffs.

s-l400vvv.jpg WATERSHIP DOWN (1978) Excellent animated adaptation of Richard Adams novel. Super animation and background paintings with a good music score. Rated a U cert by the BBFC, they still get complaints about the low certificate being given to such a dark and bloody movie. I remember seeing this on release and for some reason, at least in the cinema I saw it, the trailers came after the movie had finished! I know there was a trailer for Moonraker but we had to hurry out of the cinema to catch the bus back home. |

I watched the new Scream film, it was pretty good, not amazing, but not terrible. VERY meta, like in-jokes galore, even to the point of someone watching a YouTube podcast and it's the famous 'Dead Meat' podcast discussing Stab 8 also taking the piss out of 'elevated horror' a term that we all hate haha
