The Beast In Space [La bestia nello spazia]

Can’t decide what’s madder, the fact some Italian thought that Walerian Borowczyk’s hymn to craven animal fucking The Beast needed a sequel or the fact they decided it should be set in space and packed with clear references to Star Wars.

Monkey Shines

By a long, long, long way this is easily the best movie about a quadriplegic and his homicidal simian that has ever been, or ever will be, put to the screen.

In The Tall Grass

How times change. Afforded a rare opportunity to watch a movie with the teenager, I let her make the choice. I knew we were too far down the line to end up with talking animals but I was fairly certain I’d get a film with a young sweaty fella who has more biceps than brain cells running about. But no, she wanted me to watch this because there’s time loops and every time the plot suddenly shifted she could grin at me and tell me it was awesome. She’s clearly got some way to go in exploring weird time loop plot twist movies, but she’s definitely on the right track.

6 Underground

An incoherent ceaseless parade of indiscriminate death.
