It's one of the better movies I have seen for a while, it was ghastly and funny, a very tight film.

8/10

Just saw the new Friday the 13th. A bad film from beginning till the end. I understand slashers are supposed to be stupid but come on, this is not even funny after the first 20 minutes. For the record, I mildly like the remakes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween.

Most definitely, though the selfishness of the lead character made me squirm a bit. Great sleeper flick. Ashe.

Dead Birds. The dialogue in the first five minutes or so made this flick seem like it was going to be a huge drag. Not so. This flick had a relentlessly anticipatory atmosphere, making the scares almost a cathartic relief. The atmosphere, with the audio really driving it forward, made it hard to believe that the scares would live up to the mood. They did not disappoint. Not a brilliant story, but a decent story portrayed nicely. The camera-work was awesome, with creepy angles and shadowy scenes that was almost on par with Se7ev. Good stuff. Ashe.

Salo: or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975)

The most brutal and heart-wrenching film I've ever seen. One of those films where you feel dirty after seeing. That being said it was made brilliantly and gratuitous to the point where you have no option but to watch.

-9/10

If you haven't already, you should top that viewing off by reading the essay Fortunato posted on the Criterion Sale thread. Interesting stuff.

Wow, that's a fantastic article. Really sums up a lot of the things I couldn't put my finger on.

Great closing paragraph:

"I am mischievously delighted by the thought of a post-apocalyptic science-fiction future in which all life on the planet has been eradicated by war or an error in high places, and the only record of humanity to survive is, improbably enough, a copy of Salò. I’d love to see the expression on the face of the alien archaeologist (portrayed by Bronson Pinchot) when he views the film, sizing up the human race based solely on the lonely and baffling rituals of its strange inhabitants. Even if Salò could somehow exist in a hypothetical cultural void, no one who watches it with creeping unease can help but be instinctually alarmed by the palpable absence of something crucial from within our modern trappings...humanity."

Dead Girl

Saw this at a midnight screening last night and really enjoyed it. A juvenile dellinquent, zombie drama that plumbs the depths of cowardice and depravity like THE RIVER'S EDGE... but with a zombie!

Not as much a horror film as it is a fucked-up teens-on-the-edge-of-self-destruction drama punctuated with hilariously dark comedy.

It is screening in several US cities again tonight at midnight. Click the link above and catch it tonight if you can.

8/10
