The Coming Of Sin [La visita del vicio/ Vice Makes A Visit/ The Violation Of The Bitch/ Sodomia]


Intensely dull bit of smut with an ending that puts you in mind of a wounded animal being put out of its misery.

Ad Astra


I can’t quite decide whether to make a joke about how the over reliance on dad issues means Dad Astra would be a more applicable name, or a joke about how this is basically Apocalypse Now 2: IN SPACE, or a joke about the scene with the space baboons, or a joke about how such a ponderous attempt at a serious film made me think of so many jokes. I’ll let you know when I figure it out.

EDIT: Two weeks late I now realise i should have simply just written ‘Mad Bad Sad Dad Astra’. A missed opportunity.

In The Aftermath


An anime titled Angel's Egg that, due to worries that it would be incomprehensible to Western audiences, has been heavily re-edited, badly re-dubbed and clumsily stuffed into some very cheap live action footage filmed in an abandoned power station, the result being it is now incomprehensible to all audiences.

It Chapter Two


A series of jump scares tell the now grown up kids of the first movie that they must meet up once more to have a jump scare. Then they all split up so they can each remember a jump scare from the past whilst also experiencing a jump scare in the present day at the same time. Then they meet up again for another jump scare before heading underground and once more splitting up for a variety of jump scares. Commendable as a ghost train, piss poor as a movie.

Vampyres [Blood Hunger/ Daughters Of Dracula/ Satan's Daughter]


A tale of lesbian vampires that is clearly lacking any budget for transformation sequences, torn flesh effects or even some fake fangs and so simply ramps up the amount of graphic sex and fake blood instead. King.

Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films


A nostalgia trip through the video shelves of my childhood made difficult to watch by a documentary approach that’s similar to a child with ADHD on a sugar rush trying to tell you about a day out at a theme park.
