Freddy Versus Jason 3/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

Yeah, reasonably fun, but with long sections with too little Jason or Freddy, especially in the first half. When they actually were either fighting or terrorising the kids, it was decent enough, but a little more Freddy humour would have … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th 9: Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday 3/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

Completely bonkers Jason tale, that deviates wildly from the usual formula of kids in woods + Jason into a tale of body-jumping Jason hunting down a new body. Mixing elements of The Omen, Dog The Bounty Hunter, The Hidden and … Continue reading →

The Quatermass Experiment 2005 3/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

A very interesting experience, a live broadcast reworking of the original Quatermass story. I like Jason Flemyngs interpretation, but stagey (by design) and a little too old fashioned for its own good. Mark discussing Quatermass on the Talk Without Rhythm … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan 3/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

Decent entry into the Jason tales, with some creative deaths and a little tension, but needed to spend more time in Manhattan to be properly fun. Enjoyable enough though. Best kill: Jason punching a guy’s head off.

Macabre (1980) 3/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

Odd Italian thriller/horror that suffers the usual problem in Italian horror, in that the motiviation and speech of the characters seems slightly skewed compared to the narrative drive. The main actress was pretty committed, and the ending was pretty good … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th 6: Jason Lives 3/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

A definite improvement on all the sequels (especially the terrible 5th one), this has some talent, wit and decent ideas going on, with some nice tension and jumpscares. I liked this Frankensteinian Jason, who walked fast, and seemed relentless.

Logan’s Run 3/5

Posted on February 14, 2014 by Mark

There was a slew of interesting, thought-provoking scifi made in the lull between 2001:A Space Odyssey and the juggernaut of movie scifi that was Star Wars, that for many years made movie sci-fi==movie sci-fantasy. Stuff like THX 1138, Omega Man, … Continue reading →

King Kong Vs Godzilla 3/5

Posted on February 14, 2014 by Mark

Ignoring the shockingly bad DVD transfer, this is one of the most fun godzillas for me, with both beasties smashing up trains and cities, and watching Kong’s arms change length throughout. I’m sure there was a bit where Kong swings … Continue reading →
