Looking forward to seeing this one. Getting a bit of buzz lately. It was decent Moonie, but I have to agree with our Newcastle friend, the kid has to be one of the most annoying characters I've ever seen on film and he certainly has a negative impact on the whole show. Definitely worth a watch though, so don't be put off by that.

"The Machine" 7/10 - More noir-ish & futuristic than I expected. GREAT retro synth soundtrack. "The Machine" 'herself' was great. Doesn't really break any new ground in terms of the classic trope of "what is life/what does it mean to be human", but does what it does well. Fits comfortably alongside "Blade Runner" or "The Terminator". "House of Voices" aka "Saint Ange" 5/10 - Bog standard "spooky stuff happens in old place". Not scary, nor very interesting either.

^^^ I saw that one earlier this year. Not a bad little ghost flick with a couple of neat "twists". I might go 7/10 (Good). "Mr. Jones" 6/10 (Ok) - "Blair Witch" meets the books of Carlos Castaneda. Not a bad little indie though with a neat angle. "The Final" 6/10 (Ok) - "Saw" meets the Columbine massacre. Neat idea for a revenge flick, dull execution though. "Toad Road" 6/10 (Ok) - Weird little indie shot very experimental cinema verite that touches on a real life urban legend about seven gates to Hell, but really is more of a youth drug subculture drama. Fairly compelling watch in any case. "Satan's Little Helper" 8/10 (Great) - "Halloween" meets Batman & Robin. What if Michael Myers ended up with an unwitting boy sidekick on Halloween? That's basically the premise of this movie as a clueless kid thinks a Slasher is his favorite video game character. Said Slasher takes tot under his wing, & hijinks ensue. Goofy and silly, doesn't have much gore &/or get too serious until half way through the 3rd act, but a hell of a lot of fun nonetheless. The Slasher ("Satan") is awesome & makes the move for me. "Thale" 7/10 (Good) - Nice foreign film wherein two crime scene clean up guys discover a mythical being. Pretty fresh & original indie some great folklore elements.

^^^ Yeah, that one wasn't too bad for a disaster movie. "The Road" (not to be confused with the other movie of the same name) 9/10 (Amazing) - A very cool foreign supernatural horror film from the Philippine's, told in a novel style of 3 chapters over 20 years, going backwards in increments of 10 years of each chapter. Highly recommended if you like supernatural horror.

Snowpiercer: Pretty good. Chris Evans on a train in the future giving it to the man. Also, recently saw Whitewash. Really liked it. Both on Netflix. Had to dig through a ton of shit, but occasionally find a few gems...

"Munger Road" 3/10 (Poor) - Unbearably dull movie that can't decide if it wan't to be a ghost, urban legend, or slasher movie, & settles for doing nothing instead, & leaves the viewer hanging with, I shit you not, a "To Be Continued" title card at the end! Not even the reliable Bruce Davidson can save this stinker.

"Jack the Reaper" 2/10 (Bad) - Awful wannabe slasher & a "twist" seen coming a mile away. A cameo by Tony Todd still couldn't save this stinker. "The Maze" 8/10 (Great) - Starts a standard stalk-n-slash, albeit a well done one, but then takes a fairly clever twist in the 3rd act. "Torment" 8/10 (Great) - Scary and tense home invasion/family under siege film that plays like "The Strangers" with a helping of "Wrong Turn". The always welcome Katherine Isabelle helps elevate an already great movie up a notch.

8/10 The wife and I are just back from Paris and we went into the catacombs. It's a bizzare attraction to say the least. 1000's of skeletons down there. All once people with thoughts and lives, reduced to Grand Guignol for centuries.
