This was an entertaining movie. I like the anthology style of the movie and there are some good scenes in this. If you enjoy horror stories, then this will be for you. It is good fun and I would recommend it. I liked the characters and the nasty Doug was entertaining. Check out the Facebook page here. This is well worth a watch and I will give it an 8/10.
This episode begins with a flashback to Morgan before he arrived in Alexandria. He is living in his house and he is going a bit mad. Cut to Morgan killing walkers and burning them.He sets up booby traps to catch the walkers. He has his staff and he hears a voice talking to him. He gets hit over the head by some strange guy who imprisons him in a cage. Morgan wants him to kill him but the guy won't. He throws in a book and tells him that his name is Eastman(John Carroll Lynch). They talk about life etc. He watches him practice with his staff. Eastman tells him that he is a psychiatrist. Morgan tells him that he kills to survive.
Morgan tries to escape from the prison. He talks to Eastman about the things he has done. Eastman tells him that he has PTSD and that he doesn't need to kill. Eastman tells him that he can stay or go. Morgan goes out and attacks him. Eastman fights back and Morgan has to give up. Morgan goes back into the cell. They chat . Morgan reads the book about peace. Morgan helps Eastman bury the dead walkers. Eastman hands him a staff. They both start to get along living together.
Eastman teaches him how to fight with the staff. A walker comes along and Morgan freezes. Eastman saves him and gets bitten. Morgan is furious with him. Eastman tells him that he can stay in the house as long as he wants but he will be alone. Eastman is ready to die. Morgan heads off after burying Eastman. He finds the sign for Terminus and heads off. Morgan is telling his story to the killer who tells him that he wanted to find medicine to help the bite that he has. He tells Morgan that if he doesn't die, he will kill him and everyone in Alexandria. Morgan locks him into a house and leaves him there.
This episode was somewhat unusual in that it is about just one character and none of the main cast are in it. It was not a brilliant episode but I suppose it is showing us why Morgan is like he is...
Last episode, everything was turned upside down. This episode begins with Rick and the others on the outside. They hear the noise coming from Alexandria. Rick goes off to deal with the walkers and tells the others to get back to Alexandria. Glenn and Michonne are trying to lead the group but they are useless at fighting. One of them gets bitten. Daryl, Abraham and Sasha are still trying to lead the group of walkers away.Glenn and co. end up in a town ahead of the herd of walkers. Nicholas knows the area so he leads the way.They duck into a pet shop for cover from the walkers. They need to get out of town without getting overrun by the walkers. Glenn has a plan to set a fire to stop the walkers. He radios Rick and tells him what's happening.
Michonne talks to Heath about what Rick said about leaving them behind if they can't keep up. She tells him that they have to stick together if they want to make it. They look out and see lots of walkers outside and they decide to make a run for it, but the herd catches up with them and there are loads of walkers outside. Michonne and the others try to escape. One of them gets eaten. They get boxed in. Glenn and Nicholas are surrounded too. Michonne almost gets caught but another in the group sacrifices himself as he was already bitten.
Nicholas and Glenn are in an awful situation and it looks very bleak for them as they are surrounded by walkers.Nicholas breaks down and Glenn tries to bring him around. He shoots himself in the head. Glenn falls into the herd and gets eaten. I didn't see that coming! Poor Glenn. I am surprised that they killed off a lead character. Rick has a Winnebago and Daryl is heading to help him. Rick is attacked by men. He shoots them. There are more of them. He shoots at them too. Michonne and the others come back to Alexandria and see what has happened. Daryl goes back to Sasha and Abraham and leads the walkers away. Rick is stuck as his Winnebago won't start.Walkers spill out from the bushes and surround the van.
This was a surprising episode. I didn't expect Glenn to get killed off(if he is dead) and things look really bad for Rick, I hope that he doesn't get killed too. We shall see...
A group of cheerleaders and their pals are going to Camp Hurrah to enter a competition. The head cheerleader is Alison(Russell) and she is having nightmares about people dying at the camp. Her friends are Pamela(Teri Weigel),Bonnie(Lorie Griffin),Theresa(Rebecca Ferratti), her boyfriend Brent(Garrett) and his friend Tim(Travis McKenna) who has a video camera. Along for the ride is the team mascot Cory(Dickey). They arrive and see all of the other teams there and meet the acidic Miss Tipton(Vickie Benson). She is the camp leader and then there is the camp handyman, Pop(George 'Buck' Flower). He is a little odd.
So, the action begins when Alison finds one the cheerleaders dead in her bed with slashed wrists. She is unnerved by this as it is eerily similar to a nightmare that she had. She finds the dead girl in the freezer and she calls the cops. Miss Tipton tells the Sheriff that they did not report the death as it would ruin the competition. She was waiting for the weekend to be over before she reported it. Alison's boyfriend has an eye for the ladies, especially her friend Pam and he tries it on with her. When she won't oblige, he leaves her alone in the woods. She gets killed. The others wonder where she is. Alison has a dream in which SHE kills Pam. What is real and what is imagined?
People begin to drop like flies and Alison wonders if her dreams are reality. Is she the killer. She confides in Cory and tells her friend of her worries.Cory thinks that Brent might be the killer. They then think that it might be Pop but this turns out not to be the case. SPOILER ALERT!!!!! Alison is convinced by Cory to shoot Brent as he is the killer, but Alison realises too late that he is not. The cops come and think that she killed everyone, but it was Cory. Cory frames Alison and tells the cops that it was Alison who murdered them. Alison is taken away, protesting her innocence as Cory dresses up in a cheerleading outfit and cheers.
I enjoyed this movie. It was good fun . I knew that it was Cory from the start. It was pretty easy to see but it didn't matter really as it was entertaining. This is a by the numbers slasher movie and I would recommend it as I liked it. I will give it a 6/10.

Suddenly, there are attacks everywhere. People are being killed. Jessie and her son hide in the closet. Carl is with Enid and they are protecting Judith. Carol kills one of them. The town is being destroyed. Morgan fights with the men who are killing. Carol helps him out. Deanna doesn't want to fight. She doesn't know how to. Carl saves Ron's life from the killers. He tells him to stay with him for his own protection but Ron won't. Jessie comes out from the closet and gets attacked. She kills her attacker. Carol tries to get to the armoury before the killers do. She gets some guns and hands them out. Morgan and Gabriel don't want them.
Carol kills loads of the murderers. Morgan doesn't like how easily she does it. He gets surrounded by them and he fights them off. Morgan tells them to go away and don't come back. They run off. Eric finds pictures of Alexandria in a backpack belonging to one of the killers. Everyone comes out afterwards and look at all of the damage. Carl finds a note from Enid saying survive. Morgan finds another of the killers in a house and he manages to kill him. Carol and Morgan walk off into the distance.
This was a good episode. There was a slow start, but then, everything heated up and there was loads of action. People were dropping like flies and the killers seemingly had no motive for the attack. Rick, Michonne and Daryl didn't appear at all in this episode and neither did Glenn or Abraham.

I liked this film. It was interesting. The scares are very tame compared to movies these days, but I did enjoy it and you do find that David and Valerie deserve the horrible death that they receive. It is a rare movie, but if you can find it, have a look. It was good fun. I will give it a 6/10.
Inspector Peter Lawton(Price) meets his sister Joan(Evans) and she tells him that she has a new boyfriend. His name is Teddy(Saville) and when he meets Peter, they discuss a spate of murders t hat have been happening in London. The killer is a man who targets women who are alone at night. He waits for them after they come out of nightclubs and then stabs them at 3 AM. Teddy suggests to Peter that the killer could be planning his murders using the names of the nightclubs to spell out something. Peter is intrigued and the police wait outside nightclubs, but they do not find the killer. Peter wonders if maybe Teddy might be the killer after a while.
The police set up a trap for the killer and they have Joan dress up and go into a nightclub. They are waiting nearby to see if anyone follows her. Joan gets into a taxi and she is driven off. The police realise that the taxi has been stolen and they figure out that this must be the killer. They follow Joan to her house where the killer is just about to kill her. She sees that it is Teddy and she pleads with him. He almost kills her, but the police arrive. He escapes them. Joan tells them that it was Teddy. The cops are sure that they have their man, but it turns out that Teddy has a half brother who looks exactly like him and it is him who has been killing women. His name is Jim and he tells Teddy to take the blame for the killings while he escapes.
Teddy and Jim face off as Teddy refuses to go down for his killings. The police catch Teddy and think that they have their man, but Joan tells them that it can't be Teddy as she scratched the face of the killer and Teddy's face is clear. Jim steps out with a gun and threatens them to let him escape of he will shoot. Teddy and Jim struggle and Jim ends up falling out of a window into the river. He is presumed dead. Teddy and Joan are happy and Peter is happy that his sister is not dating a killer and the case has been solved. This was an entertaining, if a little simple, tale. It had good performances and there was nothing wrong with it. It is a good thriller from the 1950's and I had never heard of it before. If you can manage to get hold of it, it is worth a watch. I will give it 6/10.
