It was on the horror Channel so started watching it, billed has a comedy horror thing, but it was just terrible , lasted about 40mins.
Just Dont.

Backtrack.

Psychologist Peter Bower's life is thrown into turmoil when he discovers a strange secret about his patients. Risking his own sanity, Peter delves into his past to uncover a terrifying secret which only he can put right. But is the reward worth risking more than a single life?
Went in to this knowing nothing about it , it was excellent.
Good story, good acting and a twist I honestly did not see coming.
i would recommend this.

7/10

Abattoir

An investigative reporter teams up with a Police officer to solve the mystery of why a seemingly good man murdered her sister's family.
It was OK , acting was a bit meh, the story was decent enough.
You could see the ending mile off, the film had its momments but not many.

4/10
:lol:Surprised you haven't seen Nude nuns until now. It's a Zone Horror staple. They're only topless from memory though?
They had Hobo With a Shotgun on last night.

EDIT: I recorded I Spit on your Grave 2 the other night. Got a mighty 0% on RT:lol:

Wise Blood (1979) nope, I just couldn't get it. Brad Dourif was excellent and as compelling as ever but the whole film was hard to get. I liked the weird soundtrack and some scenes were interesting, but as a whole it just left me cold. From what I've read it seems Huston got the tone all wrong compared to the book.
I read the book a couple of months back, felt like a dark comedy a lot of the time. Is the movie a bit po-faced?

No only topless , plenty of nudity on show, but its bad , I thought it was trying to be a Kill Bill type of film , it did not work.
Missed Hobo , I will watch it, Spit on your grave 2 is dreadful, managed about half of it.

Rutger Hauer's career has gone downhill. Very OTT and gory, but funny here and there. Like a worse and different version of Machete.
I guess I spit is your unloved torture porn genre. And done badly no doubt.
 
The Handmaiden - not what I expected at all but I loved it. Hilarious and erotic, a winning combination. Close to my favourite film of the year.

You weren't impressed @R.N7 ?
It had me hooked for a while but it was a free fall after the first twist, very poorly structured, about 40 minutes or so of the film was just boring exposition. The last scene was pretty laughable in it's poor gratuitous taste.

I liked that it was gratuitous, it felt consistent with the tone of the film, and true to Park's style. He's not subtle and thank God this wasn't boring like Stoker. And as soon as the first twist hit I knew the rest and so just enjoyed the different POVs. If I have one criticism it's that part three was overlong. I enjoyed the juxtaposition of the two lurid final scenes.

I remember liking Stoker, Handmaiden should've had a similar running length.

The Last Seduction (1994): 6.5/10

Oh man that actress was hot!

Linda Fiorentino :drool:
 
Liquid Sky - If Tommy Wiseau had been a part of the early 80's new wave club scene in New York and decided to make a science fiction film with most of the budget ended up being spent on coke and smack, I'd wager it would have looked a bit like this. It's an amateurish film that takes itself really seriously, the score was irritating but had a kind of a hypnotic effect and it's the kinda film that would work well being projected with no sound on the wall at a drug fuelled party. You'd have a field day with this one @Mockney , if you haven't seen it already.
 
Everyone's favourite coke films? I can't think of that many off the top of my head.

Bad Lieutenant (Ferrara)
Bad Lieutenant (Herzog)
King of New York
Cracked Actor
Boogie Nights
 
Dont Breathe

Excellent film , one of the if not the best home invasion film I have seen.
Was it wrong I was routing for the burglars, but FFS dont mess with a nasty old blind ex-vet, you will get you arse kicked.
The Turkey Baster !!!
Was glad she got away with the money, but he will come for her.

8.5/10

Ouija Origin of Evil


In 1965 Los Angeles, a widowed mother and her two daughters add a new stunt to bolster their seance scam business and unwittingly invite authentic evil into their home. When the youngest daughter is overtaken by a merciless spirit, the family confronts unthinkable fears to save her and send her possessor back to the other side.
Atlast a horror film with a Ouija board in it that is good, I did find it a bit slow in part but still an excellent film, cracking story and scary in places.
Fans of this type of film , must watch his.

I remember Blow being a good one, no? Could be wrong as it's been at least a decade since I've seen it.

I thought backtrack was very predictable but was ok as a film
 
Saw Dr. Strange yesterday in 3d and was pleasantly surprised by it. I've been a bit jaded towards FX laden superhero action films but I really enjoyed this one and FX wise it seemed to be as much a breakthrough as Matrix was or Inception recently. I recommend it.
 
Hell or High Water

My favourite movie of the year so far (granted it's been a pretty poor year so far). Fantastic pacing, funny, suspenful, and great acting.
 
Green Room

Written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier, who also made Blue Ruin (which is great) this is a cracking horror/grind-house/punk rock thriller about a band that agree to play a gig at a neo-nazi club house, deep in the Oregon woods, only for things to swiftly go south. Really nicely shot, with solid performances from everyone and a nice balance between art house stylishness, unbearable tension, brutally realistic violence (genuinely hard to watch) and moments of laugh out loud humour. Kind of sad too, because one of the leads is the lad who played Chekhov in Star Wars. And he seems like a real talent :( Another trekkie link is Jean-Luc Picard cleverly under-playing the role of a psychopathic asshole. Anyway, recommended. Y'all should watch it.

Star Trek. Just pointing that out before the geeks descend upon you.
 
Watched two great companion pieces to Oslo, August 31st.

The Fire Within
which was based on the same novel, just unrelentingly bleak and poignant.

Reprise
, a freewheeling millennial film about self-actualization and other stuff with a poignant underlying sadness. Joachim Trier is a major talent, really need to watch Louder Than Bombs. I really hope it isn't a turkey.
