A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night. theres a perfect torrent of this floating around.

Really, really liked this. Was looking forward to seeing it for a long time so was open to being a disappointment. wasn't at all. Looks amazing, decent take on the vampire thing. minimum dialogue here. hardly needed. bordering on silent movie. A real solid 8/10

The Evil Dead remake. As far as horror remakes go this is one of the better ones. Lots of really imaginative gore. I plan to watch the original trilogy today

16 minutes into Lost River. It's pretty cack. Reckon it'll be going off fairly soon.

Drag Me To Hell. Had been really looking forward to this, but it was only okay in the end. Bit of a ticking boxes feel off it from the Raimis. Grand.

Shooter. Quite bad action/conspiracy thing starring Marky Mark. A Bourne film for the Fast and Furious generation. Danny Glover has a lisp in this because he is wearing braces in real life. Kate Mara is lovely.

Preservation - crappy camping trip gone awry horror flick. Crapola. Avoid. 3/10

The Ruins - decent man vs nature horror flick. 6.5/10

It would have been the best film of 2013 if the casting had been a bit better. Seriously gory and I loved all the lurid bright colouring mixed in with the dark greens and browns. Reminded me a lot of the Lamberto Bava film Demons. Brilliant orchestral score

Just ordered the Arrow bluray release of Mario Bava's Blood & Black Lace and then decided I needed to order more gialli

Alléluia (2014)
From the director of Calvaire and Vinyan.
Pretty good retelling/remake of the Honeymoon Killers.
Nicely shot and different enough to justify its making.

Borgman (2013)
Pretty strange Dutch film about a vagrant that insinuates himself into a middle class family very much to their detriment. Kinda reminded me of The Servant (on Crack) but really it is a very different animal. Don't expect a ton of answers either.

Yeah, Borgman was really interesting.

I kept waiting for his Cyborg abilities but I guess that is in the sequel:

Danny Glover has a lisp in this because he is too old for this shit

For tonight I have an Argento double bill of Phenomena (there's a great piece on this in this month's Fangoria) and Terror at the Opera. After that there's a Chet Baker documentary on Sky Arts. Have a couple of Asahi and a glass of Talisker lined up to go with that. Perfect night.

No Army of Darkness? The Evil Dead remake is excellent too

I'd watch Army of Darkness if I had it. I hadn't seen the original Evil Dead in about 15 years but taped it off Film4. Still great.

Never saw the second one (or Army) as someone in school had told me ED2 was shit and I believed him. Turns out he was a sap, it's brilliant. Keeping an eye on Film4's listings in the hope they show Army of Darkness soon.

Really enjoyed Phenomena, it's my favourite Argento film. There's several different cuts of this, including rather bizarrely a PG edit that was released in the UK in the 80s as Creepers. There's a version that pops up on Netflix once in a while but it's pretty heavily edited, so it's worth picking up the Arrow Video dvd. Entomology, fantasy, Donald Pleasance, Jennifer Connolly, a chimp that bit off part of her finger in real life and a score by Goblin (just Claudio Simonetti & Fabio Pignatelli). The only downside is the full on metal that soundtracks some of the scenes, it's a bit jarring, but as a whole it's a film that I always 100% love watching.

Terror at the Opera, some great set pieces, really enjoyable. Great beer movie. Score by Brian Eno and Simonetti!

Finally got around to watching Frances Ha today. Brilliant. Really loved. Greta Gerwig and a really great feel-good film for a Sunday afternoon.

Child 44. Good work as usual from Tom Hardy here but the film is muddled and boring.

After Dark My Sweet. Jim Thompson adaptation. Brilliant. One of the best thrillers of the 90s
