By his own admission Stephen King was routinely out of his fucking tree on drugs and alcohol when he wrote a lot of his books. IIRC he said of Pet Sematary he was amazed it got published because it so was brutally nasty and out there. |

The new movie is written by Cary Fukanaga, director of season one of true detective, he was supposed to direct it to, but for some reason they owe parted ways. |

Too cheesy for me that bit but otherwise good fun. |

I am still grumpy about The Island being made, because they ripped large chunks of it from 'Spares', which is an excellent book, and made it into a far less good film than they would have done had they just filmed a movie of 'Spares'. |

Watched 'The Illusionist' yesterday. Wasn't bad, but felt like a more predictable 'Prestige'. Was a bit too long too, but I find that with most films these days. |

I've watched some filums: It Stains The Sand Red, was first. A dark comedy about a woman chased across a desert pursued by a solitary zombie. It's quite fun but isn't going to set the world on fire. The last 15 minutes are piss pants poor but if you turn it off then you'll think it was pretty good. Then The Legend of Tarzan. For once I would like to watch a film that Samuel L Jackson is not shoehorned into. He's entirely disposable and I'm not sure what his role is outside of getting Tarzan to go to the jungle in the first 5 minutes. Anyway, as you can probably expect from watching a trailer it's just a fucking disposable CGI-fest with little redeeming quality. Tarzan doesn't even use his Tarzan powers until the last 10 minutes. Tch. And Jane is a fucking irritating character who I thought was played by the slaggy woman out of My Name is Earl, but isn't. You'll swear it's her though and wonder why she's not shagging everything and effing and blinding. It was quite distracting. So there you go, one alright film and one trash. |

I watched Don't Breathe last night and fucking hell, it's brutal and tense as shit. Three young burglars break into the house of a blind army vet for the cash he's hoarding thinking it'll be an easy score and within minutes it goes totally fucking tits up. It just doesn't let up from start to finish and is endlessly inventive in the ways it drops the terrified robbers into fucked up situations just when you think they're finally free and clear. Very good stuff. |

Very good stuff. Ooohhh splendid call, I liked the sound of it from your description so watched it as tonight's screentime entertainment. Everything you said, basically. It's very much a home invasion genre piece in a lot of ways but done with enough wit and invention, and a wicked sense of truly relentless peril, that you'll forgive it the elements of cliche. 835/1000 Just one thing though: ZOMG Spoiler!

IT FOLLOWS has arrived on Netflix so I watched it as there's been quite a lot of fuss about it. I thought it was good, but not great, proper 7/10 territory, or rather, 704/1000 territory. I'll spoiler my issues with it. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! It was a good film and when it was creepy, it was effectively creepy, but I had this constant nagging sense it torpedoed itself more than once and clutched 'good' from the jaws of 'great'. 703/1000 I've knocked a point off since before. |

I went to see Dunkirk, what a great film. The cinematography was great, the music was great. It was an emotion roller coaster, i was absorbed completely. Tom Hardy was great, mainly acting with his eyes, loved the spitfires. |

The problem with these Alien prequels (other than them not being very good) is the whole "lets explain everything about the Xenomorphs" thing. Who cares where they came from? Stop explaining shit, the unexplained is scarier and more interesting. |

Two recent watches from me on Amazon Prime. WYRMWOOD - ROAD OF THE DEAD I’ve seen this before but had forgotten I’d seen it before then after a couple of minutes remembered I’d seen it before. Must have been drunk the first time or something. I recalled it being very good so decided to watch it again. It’s a smart, gory, funny Aussie zombie flick. Fairly standard genre piece in some ways but punches above its weight with some original ideas, good characters, a solid script, great gore (it’s a proper 18) and scarcely has an ounce of fat on it. Gets it all done in 93 minutes and doesn’t pause for breath. If you like zombie films of any flavour, you’ll like this. It did well enough for it to be commissioned as a series which will be landing later this year, apparently. 832/1000 LEGEND Tom Hardy acts his socks off as both Reggie and Ronnie Kray. Has some good violent bits in it (hammer fight!) and Hardy’s screen presence as Ronnie is genuinely unsettling. Obviously the Krays themselves were a pair of horrible bastards and whilst this film doesn’t fall into the trap of lionising them it’s a bit more ambivalent than I’d like, despite it portraying some of their unpleasantness very well. Definitely worth a watch I’d say. Hardy/1000 ---------- WYRMWOOD TRAILER: |
