Yes, it is hard to believe that we have been going for five years already! Jigsaw's Lair has been trawling through horror, comedy, action, drama, TV etc for a long long time and we have been entertaining you with our blog for five long years. We hope that you enjoy it and we definitely hope that we have inspired you to watch some movies that you might not have heard of before. We are devoted to movies, TV and books that we enjoy and we hope that you like our choices.
Amanda: I love horror movies and I always have. I love the darker side to things and I do enjoy reading horror novels and thrillers too. I like a bit of everything else too, but in my heart, I love all things horror.
The blog focuses a lot on horror as that is what we watch mostly but I like to think that there is something for everyone. I like to read other people's blogs too and see what they enjoy as it can be hard to find people who enjoy horror etc as much as I do. I think that there are some great movies and TV shows out there and we will continue to write our reviews or give our opinions so keep reading and enjoy the reviews!
Jigsaw:Thanks everyone for supporting our blog over the years. We hope that you have enjoyed it and we will keep posting and putting up lots of our favourite things. We want to have something for everyone so if you are new to our site, have a look around, there are plenty of different movies etc to look at!
Five years is a long time and we are glad that you are still supporting us and enjoying our blog! Keep on reading!!!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a long run. Not too many make it this far and keep it up. Here's to five more!
Dear Amanda I'm a fan of movies and novels as well. I'm not an expert. I have written comments on Jigsaw's Lair as anonymous about the movies Kiss of the Tarantula and Just Before Dawn.
ReplyDeleteSome other interesting movies to check out are Beyond the Door, the original 1974 Italian/American horror movie with Juliet Mills, Richard Johnson, and Gabriele Lavia, and directed by Ovidio Assonitis. It has awesome music by Franco Micalizzi. Juliet Mills becomes pregnant and becomes demon possessed after a satanic ritual she performed in with Richard Johnson. A noteworthy scene is when her two children are alone in the room and the dolls and toys come to life through demonic activity. The film is now 50 years old and has two unrelated sequels. Director Ovidio Assonitis and actress Juliet Mills are said to return to make a real sequel to the original 1974 Beyond the Door which will come out any day now. Both Ovidio Assonitis and Juliet Mills are now in their 80s so this is likely the last project they will participate in. This would be an interesting movie to include in Jigsaw's Lair.
The original 1976 Carrie is by far the best movie I have ever seen, and based on the Stephen King novel about a bullied teenage girl with telekinetic power. Brian de Palma is a talented director and the musical score by Pino DiMaggio is the best musical score in any horror movie. This movie would not have been as effective without the music. It's more a tragedy rather than a horror movie. It's a very sad story. All the other remakes of Carrie are just inferior to the 1976 original movie, although I sort of liked the 2002 remake. And the special effects are impressive and were done before there was CGI.
The 1970s had the most memorable movies.
