Who Can Kill A Child? I picked this bluray up last year from Mondo Macabro. It's an interesting film about a couple who visit an island in Spain only to discover after arriving that only the children are left on the island. As it progresses they realize the children have killed all the adults and plan to do the same to them. I enjoyed it but it has a really rough opening that show's footage from the holocaust and subsequent wars of children being starved to death, lots of dead bodies, horrific real life imagery. It was rough and goes on for like 7 minutes.
Probably the weakest film I've seen from Ben Wheatley but I was still entertained watching it's almost non stop gun fight. Worth a watch if you are bored and it's still free on Amazon.
A slow burn low budget horror film. A cast of three characters in an old house, a couple visit's the husbands brother at Christmas. They arrive and the brother is acting very weird, come to find out he thinks he has the devil trapped in the basement. The film unfolds with the three of them reacting to this news and what to do. Really nice score by Ben Lovett really elevates it and it's shot really well, the budget while very small doesn't feel that way. This one was a nice surprise.
I just got the new bluray from 88 Films, I highly recommend it to any folks who are region B or region free. It's an excellent set of a fantastic Jackie film. Jackie stars as a lawyer hired by a crime lord to defend his factory from being shut down. Jackie employees his friends to do some behind the scenes work for him investigating some people invovled in the case. Hi-jinks ensue, Sammo is hilarious here, Biao plays an idealistic crazy person. Biao has some crazy acrobatic action scenes late in the film. Lost of great action scenes through out the film, lots of laughs, it's very playful and a big knockdown crazy brawl at the end that culminates in Jackie fighting Benny Urquidez in a fast paced, hard hitting fight. They also had an incredible fight in Wheels on Meals as well. The more I dive into Jackie's 80's output the more I realize how much I love everything about that period of his film career.
