7/10 - a whole lot better than i expected given some of the early reviews,nic cage gives a more restrained performance than usual,he's actually pretty good here,plus there's a couple of cool little jump scares along the way,set on halloween night over consecutive years this would make for a pretty good halloween night's viewing!

https://youtu.be/SYkoAc-So1Y - pay the ghost trailer.

also watched sam raimi's excellent 1990 fantasy darkman starring liam neeson and frances mcdormand,had not seen this since it's original release and really enjoyed it! 8/10.

Yeah I gotta say thinking about it I think I actually prefer it when he goes completely bonkers o.t.t like in vampire's kiss and the bad lieutenant.

I know he gets quite a bit of stick but I actually don't dislike nicolas cage,I think my favourite performance from him is in Alan Parker's - birdy and probably my least fave was - Peggy sue got married,God he was annoying in that!

I'd have to go with Wild At Heart, Raising Arizona, Bad Lieutenant for fave performances [Smile]

Maybe Snake Eyes for worst.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre IV: The Next Generation - This is dreadful but at least I saw the funny side this time. 4/10

Corpse Bride - 10/10

This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse - A good sequel to At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul. Although the repetitive rants in the first half could be a bit irritating. The Hell scene was totally weird and wonderful. And you gotta love his courage test! 7/10

Scream Blacula Scream - Not as good as the first but still good fun. I want one of those Blacula voodoo dolls! 7/10

Watched the daft but very enjoyable 1990 horror - the guardian from director William friedkin (the exorcist) starring the beautiful jenny seagrove and Carey lowell,fun 90s horror with a large dose of gore and nudity plus a cool music score - https://youtu.be/MCOIAuz43nU by jack hues.

A lot of fun - 7.5/10.

https://youtu.be/THRn3GQD20s- the guardian trailer.

Psycho (1960) - On the big screen with live orchestra. Wow!! - 10/10

Embodiment Of Evil - I liked this more than I did first time around. It's not a patch on the first 2 films (At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul, This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse) and some parts are a bit too vile for vile sake. But otherwise it is quite a fun end to the trilogy with Coffin Joe still as nutty as ever! 6/10

A fun,sleazy entry in the long running Friday the 13th series that ups the bodycount but lowers the suspense from previous instalments.

The kills this time around are pretty bloodless affairs as the MPAA were really starting to come down hard on the series by this time!

Not very highly regarded by Friday fans I think this gets a bit of a undeserved bad rap as while it's not amongst the best in the series it's still leaps and bounds better than - Jason takes Manhattan(8),Jason goes to hell(9) and Jason x(10).

I'd rate it a solid 7/10,I think it's a pretty entertaining 90 minutes or so!

https://youtu.be/OXgvQ-zvzKY - Friday the 13th part 5 - a new beginning trailer

One last thing for anyone interested this looks pretty good on blu ray,colors are more distinct and there's a lot more clarity in the many outdoor daytime/night time scenes.

The sound is 5.1 DTS HD surround but it may as well kept to the original mono track as there was very little going on in my rear speakers,still sounded good though!

Well I never quite managed a horror film a day but I still managed a fair few,actually I'll keep going on this thread till bonfire night then it will make up for some of the days I missed.

Fright Night (2011) - 4/10

Offerings - An awful, unashamed rip off of Halloween and other slashers around the time. Right down to a Supermarket's own brand Halloween theme. But gosh it is bloody good fun with it. 5/10

Last night I watched the daft but fun Christmas horror comedy -Santa's slay which i didn't realise was filmed as far back as 2005,for some reason I thought it was a lot newer than what it is,I've got a gut feeling it took quite a few years after its original release to actually reach these shores!

Starring ex American wrestler bill Goldberg as a musclebound killer santa and featuring cameos from the likes of James caan,Robert culp and rebecca gayheart this as you'd imagine is all incredibilly silly stuff (one look at the trailer
https://youtu.be/W0nDG91hVu0 will tell you that)but if watched in the right frame of mind it's also a lot of fun!

Not for everyone as some will find it a bit to silly but I think in general most people will probably get a laugh out of it!

6.5/10

Love Santa's Slay. Don't use that PC **** with me, it's Christmas, so wish me a Merry Christmas! [Big Grin]

I just watched American Mary, about a broke medical student who gets caught up in an underground world of freakish surgeries. There's some cracking revenge too! 8/10
