The beast must die (1974)
Agatha Christie style kitsch fest release by amicus about a multi millionaire who invites a number of guests to his countryside mansion, one of which he believes to be a werewolf. Well made nonsense that is still better than any of that marvel shite. And it has a werewolf break.

Last night: Clown apocalypse which is gas and quite the turn from Friday nights film, Kidnapped. A dark, ultra violent home invasion film.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

The Killer

Great opening scene but it doesn’t really go anywhere. I feel like it is trying to be the thinking man’s John Wick but it didn’t really land for me.

Scream and scream again (1970)
Disjointed thriller made by amicus.
Basically it's about a mad surgeon, funded by some foreign totalitarian regime who modifies regular humans to create "composites" beings with extraordinary strength and intelligence. One of them escapes and starts killing young women and the cops get involved. Its not great. Had potential, but the script is a mess. Could have been improved with some better editing.

The Goat Horn1972 Directed by Metodi Andonov

Synopsis
XVII century, Bulgaria is under Ottoman rule. Four men break into the house of the shepherd Karaivan, raping and killing his wife in full view of their child, Maria. To protect his daughter and to enact revenge, he raises Maria as a son, teaching her to fight and kill. But as Maria grows up, she longs for a different life.

Good. I hate when a movie is dubbed into its own original language. I've read that the commies had film cameras that captured a great picture but were really noisy and so they had to dub loads of stuff.

McCabe & Mrs. Miller 1971 Directed by Robert Altman

Synopsis
Name your poison

A gambler and a prostitute become business partners in a remote Old West mining town, and their enterprise thrives until a large corporation arrives on the scene.

Very good

I rented Killers of the Flower Moon on Amazon (15.99) and they don't have the Osage language bits subtitled

Mindhorn (2016) - Consistently watchable without any standout laughs. 90 minutes.

The Northman (2022) - Quality bit of killing throughout. Some size.

 

[shidheat]

Tomorrow I’ll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea, 1977, Directed by Jindřich Polák

Former Nazi Klaus Abard survives to the 1990s by taking anti-ageing pills. He plans to use a time travel trip to return to Germany in 1944 and present Hitler with a hydrogen bomb, so that he can win the war. Unfortunately the pilot, woman-chasing Karel Bures, dies on the morning of the trip and his earnest twin brother Jan impersonates him, without knowing about the plot. The plot goes wrong...

Silly and entertaining Czechoslovakian sci-fi comedy set in a very 1970s looking 1990s

All is Bright.

christmas movie with Paul Rudd. Its a little on the 'dark' side, in terms of humour, but its great. Never heard of it before and just accidentally came across it on Prime. Great old watch.

Videograms of a Revolution

Videograms of a Revolution is a 1992 documentary film compiled by Harun Farocki and Andrei Ujică from over 125 hours of amateur footage, news footage, and excerpts from the Bucharest TV studio overtaken by demonstrators as part of the December 1989 Romanian Revolution.

This is great, really intense. I remember the Ceaucescus on the news that Christmas but I was 12 and i was all like meh. I got two new Erasure tapes - a copy of Wild! and a legit brand new cassette of Wonderland.
