Again, it's more apologies for not doing what I promised to do. It's just that since my October Zombiethon, I've not stopped watching films long enough to actually get around to reviewing them properly. For example, the last three days I've taken in three French 'horror' flicks, all very different. The most recent was 'Les Diaboliques' from 1954. In brief it was a stunning film but it did let slip the twist a little too early. How brief was that!!?
Before that, I watched 'High Tension'/'Switchblade Romance'. Now, there's a film to cause a rumpus due to it's final twist that completely undermines all that went before. I've read a few reviews online that try to tidy it up but I'm not sure if I'm convinced. I think I need to go back and rewatch it again and see if these theories make any sense.
Luckily, the third French flick doesn't need re-visiting soon. I will admit that 'Inside' was very close to turning me at the end. Okay, so the characters don't always act in a logical way (one criticism that reoccurs is that why didn't the heroine try to escape from the house...maybe the clue is in the title, duhhhh?! Who's to say how we'd act in these circumstances?!), but it definately delivers as far as the gore content is concerned. It was one of those films that, love it or hate it, most assuredly left an impression and that, in my book, is a good thing.....even if it was for all the wrong reasons!
On a lighter note, 'Turkish Superman' is class!!!! :p
