I now must check this one out HAHA I like found footage films too in general, although the ongoing problem with them is, why would you record *everything?* (Answer - otherwise there's be no film!) I like the freedom low-budget films provide. You don't have to dilute your story to appease a bunch of faceless producers or to fit within a certain demographic. I saw an Irish found footage film called 'Crone's Wood' the other day. Very good. It also drifts very much into 'folk horror', which makes it a 'double win' for me! Recommended 😁

With the film footage that we are seeing originating from someone’s ocular implants which double as camera footage.

Once called 'Preternatural' was shot locally to me.

With the film footage that we are seeing originating from someone’s ocular implants which double as camera footage. That would be a good idea. As it is, there needs to be one character obsessed with filming everything, and having to come up with a variety of excuses - wanting a record of everything that happens, evidence of sinister activities to present to the authorities etc. I still love the genre on the whole, though. There are good and bad found footage films, just as there are of everything. The Blair Witch Project still takes a lot of beating!
I did have high hopes for the Doctor Who story Sleep No More knowing it was a kind of homage, but I don't think it was anywhere near as good as it could have been, despite the memorable ending.

Watermelon man Compelling ahead of its time satire loosely based on Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, about a bigoted white middle class business man who gets his comeuppance when he wakes up in the middle of the night to discover he has transformed into an African American man and his whole family and work life get turned upside down. This is a premise that could have gone horribly wrong if it had been mishandled ( like if they had cast a white actor to play the lead both before and after the transformation) but Godfrey Cambridge is an extremely compelling lead and really sells the character’s journey. The white face makeup he wears at the beginning is more than a little unintentionally disturbing in an uncanny valley way, but it’s still preferable than if it had been the other way around. I am actually really surprised that this movie hasn’t been remade!

Saint Maud - Unoriginal thought of the day: Well, that was weird! (The good kind, but still). I will say though that I did get a little lost in the second half, following a 'conversation' with my father, but this is certainly one I'd consider watching again at some point...
The Christmas Yule Blog - Decent enough as made-for-TV Christmas films go, but not a favourite... (It was nice to see Sara Canning in something again though, I must say).
Barely Lethal - Not the greatest thing in the world, but I'd say ok-enough. Hailee Steinfield was ok & Samuel L Jackson worked ok with what he had... 'Had I seen this when I was younger yeah, I could probably see myself liking it fine enough!
Youth On Parole - 'Fairly standard as films from the 30s go. 'Not the greatest thing I've seen recently, but it killed an hour over a Saturday lunchtime before I needed to get ready for work...

Death Smiles on a Murderer (1973).
I'll let you in on a secret. By the time the end credits rolled, I hadn't got much of a clue as to what this was about. I knew the thrust of the story, but not everything by any means. It's one of those beautiful looking giallo/horror/thrillers, directed by prolific Joe D'Amato. He throws everything at it - a bit of Edgar Allan Poe, reanimation, murder, tragedy, sex, loss and mystery. The cast is excellent, including Klaus Kinski and Ewa Aulin, who plays her character with a mix of malevolence, sadness, seduction and evil. All these things are wonderful and I really enjoyed it. It's more like a fever dream than a lucid film. I wonder if even the cast made sense of it? A word too for Berto Pisano's genuinely stunning, and melancholy, music.

Smokey and the Bandit 3 Again fun in places, but nowhere near as good as the first
The Incredible Hulk I would love for Marvel's What If to follow up on the hinted ending that Hulk would have been the bad guy in The Avengers
Yor, Hunter of the Future Its Yor's World. You merely live in it

What an overly long mess of a film this turned out to be. Simply dreadful.
