Association of ideas

Well…I was hoping to have some Resurrected Reviews to post about by now, but Real Life is being…uncooperative…so in the interests of getting something done, I have continued to transfer existing reviews over to the blog.

Of course, the choice of what to move is almost paralysing, so I have fallen back on a system of word association, as is probably evident from the latest selections.

At the very least, I will get a couple of reviews moved over each week, hopefully more; when I have a reasonable crop, I will pop in here and give you all an update.

Most recently I have transferred and tweaked:

The Haunting (1999)
King Of The Zombies (1941)
Captive Wild Woman (1943)
Revenge Of The Zombies (1943)
Murders In The Zoo (1933)
Night Of The Bloody Apes (1972)  
(NB: NSFW)
Hell Of The Living Dead (1980) (NB: NSFW)

.

Enjoy!

Samurai snoozer

The ChallengeWith all that talent in front of and behind the camera, The Challenge should have been much better than it actually is.

Soft core porn scorn

Linda Lovelace For PresidentWhile Linda Lovelace For President is not a hard core sex film, it is without doubt a hard going film.

It’s what the proverbial bear makes in the title place

The ForestEven when you consider the quality of many slashers from the 1980s, The Forest is way below average for the genre.

Elvis Played a Chopper Pilot Once…

Sorry– inside joke.  I bet Teleport Keith gets it, though.  So anyway, this is how I’ve been torturing myself since frigging November:

 

Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell (1978), in which no one ever said the Antichrist had to be human…

Sherlock Holmes (1916), which has recently wriggled its way off of the Lost List to give us a taste of the original Definitive Holmes Player…

Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), which is so much worse even than you remember…

Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002), in which George Lucas belatedly remembers that these movies are supposed to lead into the ones he already made…

Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005), in which he double-belatedly remembers that they’re specifically supposed to be showing us the origin of Darth Vader…

Virgin Witch (1972), which astonishingly is probably the best thing I reviewed this go-round…

and…

Wild Country (2005), which would have been the best if only writer/director Craig Strachan had realized that we’d know it was werewolves all along.
