The Wicker Man (1973) - Lisa's Review

Firstly I will start off by saying, if anyone who is reading a movie blog has never seen The Wicker Man, get yer arse away from the screen and go watch it.  It's one of those movies everyone should have seen.  That is to say the 1973 original, not the travesty that is the 2006 remake.  Although it stars the beautiful Nic Cage, this is still not enough to save it.  Absolutely dire!  What's worse is I paid cinema money to go see it!  Anyways, I digress!

Kill Baby Kill - Lisa's Review

This weeks movie sends us scuttling back to 1966 (who knew something asides from football happened that year!!) and to this offering from Italian Mario Bava.   To start with, for me, I saw a lot of similarities to Dario Argento in the movie.  Although this may sound like a great thing, for me, it most certainly isn't.  I am not a fan at all.

The Old Dark House - Lisa's Review

After a few weeks of movies which rate right up there with me, I couldn't believe my luck.  Then this weeks movie arrived....  I've said it many times, I will say it again.  I'm not a fan of old movies and at 1932 this one was right up there in the midst.  The Old Dark House is based on a 1927 novel by J.B. Priestly - Benighted.  Apparently it is a pretty good translation.  It is directed by James Whale and it boasts Boris Karloff amongst the cast.

Poltergeist - Lisa's Review

*** SPOILERS *** (but who hasn't seen this???)

So to lay my cards on the table straight away.  I LOVE this movie.  I did the first time I saw it as a pre-teen, I did when I watched it umpteen times over the years from then to now and I did when I watch it again before this review.

I suppose I have always been intrigued by the paranormal and supernatural, so it was a subject which was always going to haul me in.  My belief  may have wavered a bit since those early years, but I still find the whole subject interesting and swallow movies about it by the box load.
