The Field Guide to Evil
1/10 - Melonheads raised a chuckle, but everything else here was turgid and awful. If, in future years, you are offered a free DVD of this, slap your 'benefactor' soundly and cry, "Be off with you, charlatan!"

Open 24 Hours
5/10 - I might have liked this more if half the film wasn't just a delusion. Shrooms again.

Tigers Are Not Afraid
8/10 - liked it, but didn't love it... I didn't really connect with the characters. Pretty sure I'll be in the minority with this one, though - the room seemed smitten.

Re: He's Out There
Can anyone point me in the direction of whatever the two people who were up the front, before the film began - with the prosthetic Paul head and dog head - they were talking about something on kickstarter and something something. Anyone have any links for info?? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...
Terrified
9/10 - Argentinian take on The Grudge. Hopefully any sequels will avoid the same trap, though... and hopefully we will see a continuation (and expansion / exploration of this mythos). Subs could use some polishing.

He's Out There
7/10 - OK house invasion movie, let down by a particularly useless kid and crippling injuries that are just shrugged off... not to mention a storybook that didn't go anywhere. The string thing and tea party were nice, though.

The Man Who Killed Hitler and then The Bigfoot
?/10 - I don't know what to do with this. I don't know what's in the box, either... though a pistol would seem the obvious bet.

Hell Is Where The Home Is
7/10 - Too slow in the early stages, but at least it's setting up a more complicated situation for later. The script then doesn't make the best use of that, alas. Definitely enjoyable at times, though.

Fright Fest
2/10 - Drab. Or at least, the first hour was... at which point I decided that sleep was the better option.
Upgrade
9/10 - Action scifi with a horror edge. Mainstream enough (and good enough) to do quite well if it gets the right release. Some interesting shots in the fight scenes - though it felt like a bit of slowmo might have helped.

What Keeps You Alive
8/10 - Sometimes unexpectedly twisty, sometimes annoyingly predictable (LOOK AT ME I'M A PLOT DEVICE FOR LATER ON!). A tad too long. But well made and good-looking, particularly for a crew+cast of just 13.

The Devil's Doorway
8/10 - I'm not a fan of found footage / wobblecam... but this is about as good as it gets. Interesting setup, good acting (particularly from Father Thomas) and nicely creepy.
Heretiks
5/10 - dull and grey. By the end, chunks of the audience were laughing at a movie that definitely wasn't meant to be a comedy... There was some potential here for a psychic nun detective story (a thriving genre), but that's not how it come out. (If you're in film, and anyone ever says, "I'm goi...
Ravers
8\10 - Not too loud or flashy, thank goodness. Enjoyable romp with believable sets / props and some decent variation on the zombie norm. One hole, though... how does the dealer get back in?
Boar
7/10 - Good old-fashioned creature feature. The two non-deaths were annoying, and the night shots struggled at times.
