I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time. Amity, as you know, means "friendship".

Red Rocket (Sean Baker) Well, I went for it. Grotty films seem to be my forte really, as I gravitate toward them like .... a demon possessed Ahem. Meet Mickey Saber. He's tryin' to get his life back in order, how he achieves this is hard to watch in parts. Yet again, Baker seems to get great naturalistic performances from his cast. It was also refreshing to see some films where I wasn't being preached at constantly.

Killer's Moon (1978) Four mental patients – who, due to unauthorized experiments, believe they’re living in a dream and have shed all moral imperatives – escape and find their way to an old dark house where a bus load of stranded schoolgirls have taken refuge for the night. A difficult film to review, it's both seedy and clunky at the same time, acts of violence both sexual and not on school girls (Obviously school girls is a loose term as one of them is 21 year old Jane Hayden, sister of Linda). The Screenbound Blu-ray cover says this is worse than I Spit on your Grave. It isn't but it's still pretty degrading stuff as the girls are raped and their teacher strangled to death whilst a cat has it's leg mercilessly hacked off, and it's all from the pen of acclaimed play write and novelist Fay Weldon. Killer's Moon is certainly a British oddity. For all it's nastiness it's also pretty inept and not especially scary not helped by the four escapees goofing around all the time as they are certain everything they do is simply a dream so nothing matters. It does have atmosphere in spades though in that A Clockwork Orange Droogs on the rampage sense. Despite these inconsistencies it's a film i rate and watch every couple of years. |

I was pleased to see the Killer's Moon Blu-ray at £3 in the Screenbound sale happening as i type. It meant i didn't have to buy the upcoming 88 Films release at £15, seeing as 88 have licensed the film from Screenbound anyway.
