233. Devil fetus - gory hong kong horror. A horny slime demon torments, possesses and kills the members of a family. The film is low budget and promises so much, it wants to deliver but just Doesn’t make it. Disappointing but it’s always worth a watch but not again soon.
234. Pass thru - as always neil breen writes, directs, produces, stars in another sci fi thriller. I hope he wrote the theme tune and sung the theme tune too. It’s another story with an ecological message. Still spectacularly bad in an entertaining way, not his best but still fun
235. Sinners - 30’s set musical fused vampire action horror. 2 brothers & patrons come under siege on the opening night of the new bar by vampires. After a slow start establishing the characters the keeps running with a more stylish version of from dusk till dawn. Great film
236. The 4th man - dutch erotic thriller, a creepy writer gets caught up in a web of intrigue when he tries to sleep a woman’s boyfriend. Dream like & creepy Verhoeven directs and lead karabbe to the be the sleaziest ever. Great film, a mix of sunset boulevard & death in Venice
237. Scum (1977 TV movie) - brutal drama about the inmates of a male young offenders institute. It crams lots into its hour and 10, it’s brutal and i can see why it was banned for years. Some elements are reduced but still powerful. So weaker performances from the kids, great.
238. Twisted pair - after years of doing everything in a film there was only one thing more for neil breen to do in a film, he now plays twins in this film! He also has bought a a green screen as he now puts himself in stock videos and photos. Also in this film he can fly
239. Y2K - nostalgia bait comedy horror about computers becoming aware and attacking and absorbing people and technology. It forces lots of references but not the one film that it’s linked to, the matrix. It’s all a bit forced and very predictable. Painfully ok at most
240 monkey man - brutal action film. An Indian guy will take on any job to get the revenge he wants. It starts traditionally and gets a little trippy and political by the end, but a great film and its more impressive that its a first time director. Close to being Indian john wick
241. Nomads - A doctor comes across a crazed man who then dies, she is then cursed with visions of what led up to his death while she is drawn to a place. Thriller with a supernatural vibe, i hate the structure of the film with the flashbacks. The french accents are bad. Not a fan
242. The last showgirl - drama about an aging idealistic vegas showgirl who is about to lose her job. It makes her look at her work and her relationships with friends and family, was it worth it? Everyone gives top performances, not a fan of the soft focus but i get it. Great
243. Harvest - anachronistic folk thriller as a rural Scottish village in an unspecified time struggles keep together when changes and strangers arrive. Looks great and there are some interesting things but this allegory for industrialisation & community didn’t capture me at all
It's not a good movie per se, but something about it made it interesting to watch. Works better if you are half asleep :)
Its dream like
Yeh it was odd, i liked the brosnan bits and then the woman was getting in the way. Its stylish and well shot thou, i can see why it got the director the gig on predator
