Housewife
Much like
Baskin this is somewhat bizarre, but possibly slightly more straightforward than the director's previous effort. The influences of the likes of Argento were also a little more evident this time around.
Kudos to some of the pleasingly gory sequences at the end!
8 / 10

Beyond Skyline
Another film that does what it says on the tin, doing what it does reasonably well. It develops the mythos from the first movie, which was more suspenseful and horror-oriented, and goes down more of a sci-fi action route.
A pretty good dismemberment was one of the highlights of the festival.
7.5 / 10

Terrifier
Light on story and exposition this throwback to the likes of
Driller Killer and has a good tempo, plenty of gore and humour (albeit a little less of the latter than I was expecting).
I did see the "twist" coming a long way off though.

So overall I'd plump for Housewife as my favourite film, withThe Black Gloves unfortunately bottom of the pile, albeit with a pretty reasonable score of 6.5 - assuming the sound issues were not deliberate then this score may increase on second viewing. I skipped the Q&A for some much needed food so apologies if this point was covered during that session.
