Unseen Movie 88 Invasion Of The Blood Farmers. 1972. WTAF have I just watched? a guy staggering down a road covered in blood and almost hit by a car and wonders into a diner and one person shouts out "here comes your best customer" and then the guy falls down deed. Then it shifts to two farmers looking for directions to a house avoiding any unnecessary questions and a doctor working on some sort of red stuff that has a life of it's own, then we see some sort of cult religious guy talking about some woman he wants to bring back to life. From start to finish, you can tell this was low budget, very amateurish cinematography and bad acting that the dialogue is almost laughable and one actor talking for two characters. Defeneitly one to watch if you want a laugh. MV5BN2UyMjI1ZTUtNTFjOC00Y2YyLWFhZjQtNjIwMjFhNWU4ZjI1XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTQxNzMzNDI@._V1_FMjpg_UX100.jpg

MaXXXine The 3rd in the series which sees Maxine, the lone survivor of what was dubbed, The Texas Porn Star Massacre go to Los Angeles to become a star. After starring in many Porn Films, she is given a role in a Horror Sequel but is stalked by a mystery person named the Night Stalker. Mia Goth again excels and there is good support from Kevin Bacon as a sleazy Private Eye. Good Soundtrack and there is some nice gore and whilst it's interesting, it's not one I think I'm dying to see again. Bowfinger Steve Martin is a struggling Director and his last shot at glory involves him Directing a movie starring the hottest Film Star (Played by Eddie Murphy) without his knowledge. This is so funny especially when they are doing the scenes and seeing that Murphy's character is paranoid only enhances the funniness. Pretty sure I read that Heather Graham's character was based on someone. |

Police Story. 1985. A Hong Kong police officer tries to clear his name after he is framed for the killing of a corrupt officer by a drug lord he has tried to arrest. Jackie Chan stars and directs as the police officer Keven also called Jackie in this flick that sees the destruction of a shanty hillside slum, the long boring court scene that does tend to drag on and then the big finale in the mall where no glass is safe. Mixed in with all that is the comedic Buster Keaton/Charlie Chaplin inspiration moments. I always wanted to love this film, the action and fight scenes are always impressive but the plot is not the best.

You Should Have Left. David Koepp. 2020. A retired banker and his much younger actress wife book a vacation with their daughter in a remote holiday home in the Welsh countryside. I came across a clip of this online the other day and it really intrigued me. I looked it up and came across some other plot points that sounded fascinating. Kevin Bacon and Amanda Seyfried play the seemingly happily married couple Theo and Susanna who admittedly have a few issues they want to iron out, so with Susanna due to start filming a movie in London they decide to find somewhere in the country to get away from everything for a bit and focus on these little niggles in their marriage. The place they find is a horrid modernist glass and brick monstrosity, apparently a real house in mid Wales called Life House. I don't want to say too much of what happens but sadly You Should Have Left is disappointingly derivative. Stealing ideas from other better movies and failing to develop any of them or truly mesh it together, as if just slapping creepy ideas at the screen one after another is enough. The film most reminds me of the far superior The Witch in the Window. There's also a bit of say Identity, the John Cusack film by James Mangold. Basically ideas pinched from all over. There's also some opportunities woefully overlooked to play more on the location, the rural village down the road with its passive aggressive locals and so on. I wonder if perhaps the film would have worked better with lesser names in the cast instead of A-listers Bacon and Seyfried. Plus points there are some genuinely eerie moments and it all looks quite pretty, oh and its quite short. That's about it really. I'll keep it in my collection but I'm glad I only paid ?7.99 and frankly would only recommend streaming it on something or paying 2 or 3 quid in Cex.
