I'd quite like him to have a stab at another Halloween film. That way we'd know if he still has what it takes...or not!

I rather enjoyed The Ward. It's not brilliant but it's a good enough time-waster. If you didn't know it was a JC film then I think it'd be appreciated a little bit more but the weight of expectation kinda spoils it somewhat.

Thanks Paul.

It's a film i've no expectation for as it's had a fair amount of criticism on here in the past.

To be honest now i've ordered it i'm looking forward to watching it.

I saw Dark Star on Blu-Ray in Fopp for £5! it has been restored/remastered for blu-ray and it sounded like a good film but i wanted to aks here first if anyone rated it??

Has anyone seen any of the 'sequels' to Vampires?

Los Muertos and The Turning, are they any good?

I saw Los Muertos many years ago and thought it was pretty forgettable (hence why I can't think of anything to say about it either good or bad!)

I quite like the first Vampires too, so make of this what you will!

I really like it. It's pretty 'raw' and is more of a student film in many respects - the overall budget and presentation does reflect this. The 'comedy' is also pretty off the wall and therefore will be to an acquired taste.

Well worth a fiver though, I'd say.

Is the 2011 version of The Thing any good?
I love the original one, but I got a feeling that the new one is gonna be crap lol
