Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971)

An eerie, low budget paranoia-fest with a catchy title that I have been waiting to see for quite a long time. Effectively creepy, even the broad daylight captured an unsettling & haunting tone in this underrated 70's Horror gem.

The Last Horror Movie (2003)



A decent low budget treat for the fans of serial killer sub genre. Liked it, the guy on the lead did a good job with the role.

The Escapist (2009)



Frank Perry (Brian Cox) is a long term prisoner in a London jail where the guards look the other way and one would be wise to avoid the attentions of Rizzo (Damian Lewis), the boss inmate and his unhinged junkie brother Tony (Steven Mackintosh). Perry receives the first letter from his family in fourteen years. His daughter is a heroin addict and close to death. Perry decides he must get out, to see her and make things right while there is still time. He goes to his closest friend Brodie (Liam Cunningham) and they enlist on-the-edge pugilist and thief Lenny Drake (Joseph Fiennes) to put together their plan.

A slow burn but intense British prison break movie with good casts. Though it's not only delivers the 'prison break' suspenseful content, you'll find something more at the end. Recommended.

>>: B+
