Blood Rage. 1987.

Todd is blamed for a killing that his twin Terry committed at a drive-thru and institutionalized. 10 years later Todd escapes and the killings start.

This film gave us the perfect to share with everyone at a dinner table "My crazy twin has escaped" great conversation starter before a meal, and if your gonna carve a turkey use a sharper knife.

Filmed in 83 and shelved for four years I wouldn't say this was the best slasher film as we see who the killer is and tries to play it out on a plot twist that even the boys own mother can't tell them apart. Right at the start you can tell the boys want to learn about the birds and the bees from other people and not their own mother and we get a good hatchet killing. The acting may not be all that great but as the film goes on the kills make up for it.

City of the Dead (1960)

I'm sure you don't need me to tell you how good this British tale of American witchcraft is. Let's just say it's a beautifully atmospheric masterpiece and leave it at that.

Well not quite. It's interesting to note that, and this is a GIANT spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't seen this classic film of wicked witchery. As with Psycho from the same year - City actually went into production first so in no way ripped off Hitchcock's thriller - the heroine we are introduced to and follow for the first half of the film is killed off much to the viewers shock and disbelief half way through.

Continuing the evening with a second helping of witchcraft in New England...

The Witch (2015)

Robert Egger's modern masterpiece of 17th century lore. It's performed with brilliant and authentic use of olde-English language and terrific sound design as well as natural light throughout with the buildings lit inside only by candles. There's also an often lingering camera technique and these aspects all come together to create the most unnerving, bordering on genuinely frightening, horror film of the 21st century.

Seven years on the bounce now for this film and i'm still discovering new marvels in it's chilling clutches. I'm surprised that it still holds what feels like a malevolent eerie power over me during it's entire second half.

The occultist (1988)

A truly dire movie with no redeeming features what so ever.

nonsense about a private eye who's supposed to be part cyborg whos hired to protect a woman, voodoo and some corporate nonsense.

Avoid it would be more fun scooping out your eyes with a spoon.


Something creeping in the dark.

A huge improvement over the occultist, by hey watching a piece of shit dry would of been more interesting.


A atmospheric tale about of group of people that during a storm have to spend a night at a strange houses . One of the group's is the police escorting a killer.

The owners of the house are all a little weird . Soon strange things start happing and then the killings start.

Now watching.

Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood.

After his watery grave entrance by Tommy, Jason is revived again by a small girl with psychic abilities and she tries to stop Jason and the doctor who is using her for his own evil agenda.

The first appearance of Kane Hodder playing the hockey mask boiler wearing suit killer and Lar Park-Lincoln as the older psychic Tina. Terry Kiser who we probably know as "Bernie" plays the doctor who tries to manipulate his patient and gain something from her powers.

Jason rises from the water and is able to pack a decent punch and leave a gaping hole and pick up a sleeping bag while someone is in there leaving a bit of a bloody mess. Director John Carl Buechler manages to keep a steady pace with this one and also entertained, one I didn't really care for but slowly growing on me.

Up next Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones

[MrBarlow]

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones. 2014.

Jesse who has graduated from university spends his summer with friends at his apartment block, Ana who is neighbour down stairs and loner. Jesse and his friend Hector spy on Ana with another girl painting her body, when Ana dies things around Jesse begin to happen.

I wasn't going to be watching any of these films but decided to give this one a re-watch, it does have your typical teens messing about and have a creepy neighbour and try to spy on her that does come with the usual comments of seeing a older woman naked...unless your into that.

Andrew Jacobs and Jorge Diaz do a decent part as the two leads and friends who go looking for answers and not really capable of accepting what they find, it is somewhat different from the previous films as this focuses more on satanic rituals rather than the ghost from the past movies.
