Worth a watch Rating: Read Ross’ review of The Theatre Bizarre The Theatre Bizarre is an oddball piece of cinema, enjoyable in parts and downright freaky in others. The short entitled Wet Dreams was directed by Tom Savini and also starred him as a psychiatrist to an unfaithful husband who can no longer differentiate reality from fantasy. The latter is such a simple yet powerful story, very touching piece of cinema. The standout ones for me where The Mother of Toads, where a young couple fall victim to a lusty French witch in possession of the Necronomicon I Love You, where a possessive husband must suffer the consequences of his selfishness The Accident, where a mother must answer her young daughter’s questions about death. The short films included The Mother of Toads, I Love You, Wet Dreams, The Accident, Vision Stains and Sweets, each telling a different tale of horror. A collection of 6 short films told by a human puppet man in an abandoned, eerie theatre. The film in question is THE THEATRE BIZARRE and it lived up to it’s name. The following film I had heard whispers of but I didn’t really have a clue what it was about. I know some people enjoyed this but I’d seen this sort of thing before and I don’t think it played out as well as it could. Unfortunately, the film quickly descended into a messy survival horror where the remaining residents turn on one another and revert to primitive beasts. The film started reasonably well, with the brilliant Michael Biehn as the caretaker. Survival instincts soon kick in but not only do they have to survive the explosion but survive each other.

Rating: Read Matt’s review of The DeadĪfter munching on a sausage roll, I headed in for the screening of THE DIVIDE.ĭirected by Xavier Gens (Hitman and Frontiers) and starring Milo Ventimiglia (Peter Petrelli from Heroes), Michael Biehn (The Terminator) and Rosanna Arquette (Pulp Fiction), The Divide follows residents of an apartment block who take refuge in their building’s basement when a catastrophic nuclear explosion destroys New York. The two leads work perfectly with one another and the film keeps you interested, despite running over familiar territory. However, the Ford Brothers pushed on and as a result have created a unique zombie film with some stunning locations, after filming in Ghana and the Sahara Desert. Next up was the Ford Brothers’ zombie film THE DEAD set in Africa, where the cast and crew had nothing but trouble after coming down with malaria, typhoid and even being held at gunpoint.

These guys are the only people who can successfully adapt and portray Lovecraft’s work onto screen and I hope to see many more adaptations from them. The story was strong and well adapted and the performances captivated the audience. Once again using mythoscope, a blend of modern and old techniques, the team created a jaw dropping film that I’m sure the author would be more than pleased with. Brought to us by the H.P Lovecraft Historical Society, who created the fantastic silent movie ‘Call of Cthulhu’, ‘THE WHISPERER IN DARKNESS’ promised to tell the horrific tale as created by H.P Lovecraft all those years ago. I’d be waiting all weekend for the first film to play on Sunday.
