Slugs (1988) 5/10
Amusing and trashy enough but I stopped caring in the final act. The bad dubbing was a plus. Nothing special.
A Lonely Place to Die (UK, 2011) 6/10
I've seen this recommended when reading impressions/reviews of TRIANGLE so I was expecting a bit f horror with some twists. There are some interesting bits of misdirection that made this enjoyable than otherwise but it's not really horror. That said, I did enjoy it. Its well shot, the cast is good and the pace keeps it interesting. Sean Harris (Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation) is a fantastic villain.
The Terror [Elvira's Movie Macabre] (USA, 1963)
Not as boring as Elvira claimed but not good either. It has a few intriguing moments but I would not have felt like it was time well spent without The Mistress of the Dark breaking up the monotony. The finale is convoluted mess.
Jennifer's Body [Unrated] (USA, 2009) 7/10
I was ready to not like this film, but ended up having a blast. It's damn funny. There are some obnoxious moments, but I'm willing to forgive those. The goth kid's funeral where the mother goes off is a riot. So is the ritual that converted Jennifer. The way they chose to end it was strong as well. Really wish there was some gratuitous nudity, but oh well.
Moon (UK-USA, 2009) 7/10
Yikes, that's depressing.
Frankenstein's Bloody Terror (Spain-West Germany, 1968) 7/10
This one so much fun. Starts off with Naschy macking on some rich dude's love interest. Later on he's bitten by El hombre lobo while saving the guy. Now the rich kid is obligated to help him find a cure while he watches the woman he loves fawn all over him. Before it has a chance to get boring a pair of vampires show up and start a deathmatch between to werewolves. The Subkulter BD looks and sounds great. Awesome stuff.
