Trailer here.

Who Saw Her Die? is a 1972 giallo movie directed by Aldo Lado and starring George Lazenby and Anita Strindberg.

The film begins in France in 1968. A child wanders off on her own into the woods. A figure takes her and kills her. She is buried in the snow. Someone in a black veil murdered her. Cut to Venice in 1972.  A father is waiting for his daughter, Roberta. She is arriving in Venice. Her father is Franco(Lazenby) and her mother is Elizabeth(Strindberg). Franco is a sculptor. A black veiled person is watching Roberta. A man called Serafian(Adolfo Celi) sells Franco's pieces for him. He gives Roberta a present of a necklace. The mysterious black veiled person is watching. Franco meets a woman called Gabriella and he leaves Roberta outside with the other children. He has sex and forgets his daughter. She is left alone when the other kids disappear. The killer approaches her. 

Franco goes looking her her. He asks the locals if they have seen her. He asks one of the kids who have her necklace. He asks the local priest, Father James(Alessandro Haber) but he doesn't know. Franco geos to the police. Roberta's body is found in the river. Franco and Elizabeth have a funeral. The Inspector is on the case. Franco blames himself. They end up talking to the father of another dead child but he isn't interested in talking about it. Franco asks around but there isn't much information. Franco finds a woman who might be able to help, but she is killed. 

Franco talks to a man who points him in the direction of Serafian. The inspector talks to him. The killer is dispatching anyone who might have information. Franco wants to talk to Serafian and he looks for him. He finds him dead. The killer is after Elizabeth. She has a letter that could incriminate him. Elizabeth runs to the church to Father James. Franco realises who the killer is. Elizabeth looks at the letter and also realises who it is. The killer is Father James. Franco turns up and he fights the priest. Somehow the priest ends up on fire and he falls out of the window. The case has been solved. Father James was not a priest at all.  Franco and Elizabeth head off together, glad that they have found who killed their daughter. 

This film reminded me of Don't Look Now and dealt with some similar themes. This isn't as good as that movie, but it is a good film. I liked the many suspects and the twists and turns that this had. It is a decent whodunit. I enjoyed it and I give it a 6/10.

#Missing Couple Movie Review

Trailer here.

Missing Couple is a 2024 found footage horror movie directed by Jacques Edeline and Oliver Mauldin.

The film revolves around an internet couple who have a blog online showing their lives and stuff like that. They are Austin and Janna and they have their dog with them. They are relocating to a house in the middle of nowhere. It is surrounded by woods and is very remote.We see them posting all of their moments in the house and the beauty of the area in which they are. They explore their new land and everything seems fine. Austin puts up cameras around the property. We discover that Austin and Janna have gone missing and nobody has heard anything from them. Cut to an internet investigator who has a show called Found Persons Report. He tells his viewers that Austin and Janna are friends of his and he is going to go up to their house to look for clues to their disappearance.

We follow him as he drives up there and goes to their house. He looks around the area and he wonders what is going on. Their vehicle is still there and all of their belongings are present. The house looks as if someone were living in it. There is no sign of foul play or blood. The investigator decides to camp out in the woods. He doesn't like it. He thinks that someone was watching the couple and that whoever that person was is responsible for their disappearance. Strange things happen. We see videos of Austin and Janna as they receive a gift in a box. It is Janna's toothbrush. She freaks out and wants to leave as this means that someone was in their house.

Things get stranger from there. There are weird dark figures on the camera that is outside. Austin can't explain what they are. They look around and find out that the area was the scene of a tragedy and they think it might have something to do with the odd occurences. Janna talks to some of the locals and she wants to look into it more but Austin doesn't want to. The investigator looks at their videos and sees the strange things too. It becomes apparent that he is no friend of theirs. He is a stalker who loves Janna. The couple open up and they tell their viewers that the person has been stalking them and that is why they moved to somewhere remote. 

He found out where they are and he has decided to come and look for them. He is a sick man. The weird creatures prowl around at night and frighten him. He isn't sure what is going on. There is a weird dark pond thing on the property and he approaches it and gets knocked into it. The weird creatures are there or are they the couple? The ending isn't very clear to me. I suppose you can draw your own conclusions.

This is a fun film. The couple could be anyone you see on the internet. It's an interesting story though, because at first, you think that the investigator is their friend, but after a while, you can notice little things that point to him as a stalker. I liked that. The ending was so so . I felt like they could have kept it as a straight stalker movie and the couple could have lured him there to kill him. I didn't think that the supernatural part was necessary but I can let that go because I did enjoy this. It was a surprise to me. I didn't expect much but I found it entertaining. I will give it a 5/10.

Dr.Jekyll and Sister Hyde Movie Review

Trailer here.

Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde is a 1971 horror movie directed by Roy Ward Baker and starring Ralph Bates, Martine Beswick, Gerald Sim and Susan Brodrick.

Dr. Henry Jekyll(Bates) is writing his life story. It begins with him being visited by Professor Robertson(Sim). Jekyll is working on an elixir of life. He is watched by a neighbour called Susan(Brodrick). She likes him. Jekyll seeks bodies for his experiments. He ends up making a deal with two bodysnatchers, Burke and Hare. They bring him a female corpse. He is worried about how they got her. They murdered her. Susan introduces herself to Jekyll and she invites him to join her and her family for dinner, but he refuses. He decides to drink the elixir. It changes him into a woman. Susan hears strange noises and her brother, Howard(Lewis Fiander) checks on him and he finds a woman. Susan is upset by this news.

Jekyll changes back to himself. He runs into Susan and informs her that the woman is his sister. Susan brings him some food. He kills a prostitute after Burke and Hare are caught. He runs into a blind man and gets blood on his cane. The police find the body and call in Professor Robertson. The professor tells them that killer was skilled. Susan drops in to see Jekyll but he throws her out as he is changing. Edwina Hyde(Beswick) makes a dress for herself. She meets Howard. Jekyll is killing women and hoping that the police think it is someone else like Jack the Ripper. Robertson is suspicious.

Edwina goes out and is spotted by Robertson and the police, who are watching the house.  She picks up a drunk woman and she kills her. Jekyll can't control her. She is starting to take over. Robertson calls to see Jekyll but ends up meeting Edwina instead. He talks to her about Jekyll and she seduces him and kills him. Jekyll is horrified when he realises what she has done. Edwina says that she wants him gone. She meets Howard and they become close. Jekyll tells Susan to stay away from Edwina. He says that she could get hurt. Susan goes out alone and Edwina follows her. She wants to kill her. Jekyll stops her. The blind man tells the police about a doctor who carves up bodies just like the ripper. The police know that it is Jekyll. He runs away from them but ends up changing into Edwina and falling to his death.

This is a good film. It is strange because Jekyll's alter ego is a woman. It is also a Hammer movie, so you know it will be worth watching. I think the cast were good and the story keeps you entertained. I definitely recommend this one. I will give it a 6/10.

Land Shark Movie Review

Trailer here.

Land Shark is a 2017 horror/ Sci-Fi movie directed by Mark Polonia and starring Sarah French and Peter Baldo.

The film begins with a woman who is walking on the beach. She notices a shark but goes sunbathing. It attacks her on the beach. Cut to MALCO Oceanic Research facility. A worker called Lucinda(French) talks to Dr. Foster(Baldo) about strange things happening with their sharks. He tells her that it isn't possible. He speaks to his boss, Dr. Lorca(Kathryn Sue Young) about it. They are involved in some plan together. They are experimenting with sharks. Lucinda notices that a shark is missing. Foster tells her that he has it. The shark claims more victims. This is a shark that can survive on land. How can that be?????

Lucinda and Foster find the body of a worker at the centre. Dr. Foster won't allow her to report it. He tells her that she has to help him cover it up or lose her job. She has no choice. They talk to Lorca and she threatens Lucinda. Foster informs her that they are trying to make sharks to adapt to living on land so that they can be used by the military. Three of their sharks are on the loose. Lorca tells them that they have to find the sharks and kill them all. When Lucinda is out of the room, she tells Foster that he has to take care of Lucinda when the sharks are dead. Foster and Lucinda head off to find the sharks.

They have a tracker to trace the sharks. Foster has a laser gun. They meet a homeless guy who says that he saw a land shark. They split up to search. They find one. They shoot it and they burn it. Two fishermen get another one and kill it. There is one left. It kills the homeless guy. Lucinda and Foster arrive at an old house where the tracker says the last shark is. They find it and he comes after them. They shoot at it. The shark goes into the river and they manage to get it out and electrocute it. Foster has been bitten and he feels unwell. He tells her that they have gotten all the sharks. He injects himself with the same serum that he used on the sharks. He turns into some sort of man shark hybrid. Lucinda tries to kill him. She ends up doing it but he tells her that there are other experiments. The movie ends with a shark jumping up in the water.

This film is cheap and silly. I mean, when you have a title like Land Shark, it can't be taken seriously. This was fun but the film was just too cheap. The shark was obviously rubber and the special effects were dire. The acting was bad but I still think that there is fun to be had here. If you know what you are getting, then you won't be disappointed. Just be warned. I give this a 3/10.

This was a weird movie, but there were plenty of twists and turns to keep you interested. I like a good mystery film and this one will keep you entertained if you don't mind the weirdness. I recommend it and I will give it a 5/10.

Ouija: A New Beginning Movie Review

Trailer here.

Ouija: A New Beginning is a 2025 horror movie directed by Jason Hawkins and starring Elissa Downing.

A woman called Molly Price(Downing) and her two daughters, Avery and Penny are moving to a new house. Molly's step dad is going on holiday for a month and they are going to look after his house while he has gone. They have nowhere else to go. Roger(David Mitchum Brown) is the owner of the house and he lets them in. He's a strange guy and he likes everything just so. Molly's husband died and she is taking care of her two daughters alone.

The two teens have to go to school. Penny meets the school weirdo, Harper. She is a goth and some of the girls tease her. Avery makes friends straight away. Penny is walking home when she sees a garage sale at a house. She talks to the lady who is selling everything and she ends up getting a Ouija board.

There is something weird about the house. A priest is looking around inside. Penny decides to try out the Ouija board. She wants to contact her dad. She asks Harper to join her. A dead body of a girl is found. Someone nails a dead cat to the house in which they are staying. The sheriff calls and asks some questions. Molly is freaked out. Harper tells Penny that the house where the garage sale took place is strange. An old lady lived there and she was found dead. Her two kids disappeared. Harper. Penny and Avery use the Ouija board to contact the dad. Molly calls her sister looking for help, but her sister doesn't want anything to do with her. The Ouija board goes crazy. The three girls see a figure of a girl. They talk to the sheriff about a girl who suddenly appeared. She is one of the two kids who disappeared at the old lady's house.

Penny starts messing around with the ouija board alone and the dad talks to her. He asks her to let him in. Something appears and attacks Penny. Later, she has changed. She is acting weird. The girl from the house dies. Penny seems to have powers and she gets her revenge on two mean girls at school. She puts a curse on them and they start to bleed. Penny and Harper are at the board again when Penny changes. Harper screams. It turns out that Molly has lied to her daughters about their father. He isn't dead. Molly has been on the run with her daughters. The dad has been looking for his children for a long time. Molly lied and told the sheriff that he abused her. The sheriff calls CPS. Avery spots Penny outside, staring into space. She is possessed by a witch called Esara. Molly loses her sanity and goes after the two girls with a knife. The sheriff and the dad come to the house and find the two girls but no Molly. She emerges from the darkness and tries to attack the sheriff, who shoots her dead. The film ends with the two girls moving in with their dad and his new wife. Penny is still possessed. She still uses the ouija board.

This film isn't very good. The acting is ropey and there just isn't enough in it to keep you entertained. Some of the characters are laughable, like the sheriff. The story isn't that bad, but there aren't many scares or a lot of tension. It could have been a lot better. I don't think that this is releated to the Ouija movies. I think that it just uses the name. It reminds me of all those Amityville sequels that have little or nothing to do with the original movie. I think that this could fit into that category. I will give it a 3/10.

Mark of the Devil Movie Review

Trailer here.

Mark of the Devil is a 1970 horror movie directed by Michael Armstrong and starring Herbert Lom, Udo Kier and Olivera Katarina.

The film begins with a witch burning. A man called Albino(Reggie Nalder) is a witch hunter who has taken it upon himself to accuse innocent women of witchcraft. He is told that a resepected witch hunter called Lord Cumberland(Lom) is coming to his village. He has an apprentice called Count Christian(Kier) who is in the village. An executioner, Wilkins(Herbert Fux)will be arriving also. Albino likes a local woman called Vanessa(Katarina). He harasses her but she spits at him. He tries to attack her and she ends up injuring him. He announces that she is a witch. She tells him that he is the devil. Count Christian sees what he is doing and he demands proof of what Albino is saying. There isn't any. Christian and Vanessa talk. Soldiers arrive to help Lord Cumberland.

Albino is jeaous of Christian and Vanessa. He wants her declared as a witch. Christian and Vanessa become close and they kiss. Lord Cumberland arrives in the village. Albino catches Vanessa and he whips her. She is brought in as a witch. The Count states that she is innocent. Cumberland doesn't agree. There is a lot of torture occuring in the village. People are being targeted. A baron is brought in and he is promised freedom if he signs over his estate to the church. Albino is leading his men into people's houses and getting them to do his bidding with the locals. Christian is beginning to lose his faith in Cumberland as he sees all the pain and suffering that he is inflicting on people. He realises that it is corrupt.

Vanessa is in custody and Christian can't get her out. Albino gets into trouble for his deeds and he ends up dead when Cumberland strangles him. Christian witnesses it and this makes him doubt Cumberland. Christian confronts him about it and asks him to spare a family but he won't. This pushes Christian to free Vanessa. He does so and goes back to free more prisoners, but gets caught himself. Vanessa gathers the locals and she tells them that they should get the witch hunters. Lord Cumberland tells his soldiers to kill everyone. The locals come and storm the castle. They free the prisoners. Christian is freed. Cumberland tries to escape. He gets into his coach and he drives off. Christian isn't so lucky. The locals catch him and kill him. Vanessa tries to stop them but she can't. She holds his dead body as the locals go home.

This film is kind of like Witchfinder General but it has more torture scenes and blood in it. The cast are good. The story is interesting and the ending is brutal. You know what you are getting here, but there is actually a story so it isn't just torture scenes. I liked it and I am giving it a 5/10.

The House on Straw Hill Movie Review

Her husband killed himself when he realised what Paul did to him. Linda is going to shoot him when she is stabbed by the local guy who was lingering int he field, half dead. He and Linda both die as Paul is left by himself.

This wasn't a great film. There wasn't much in the way of scares or thrills. It was interesting in some parts, but there wasn't enough to keep you entertained. The acting wasn't bad but to be honest, nothing much happens. I will give it a 4/10.

The Flesh and the Fiends Movie Review

Trailer here.

The Flesh and the Fiends is a 1960 horror movie directed by John Gilling and starring Peter Cushing, Donald Pleasence and June Laverick.

The film takes place in 1928, in Edinburgh at a medical school. A woman called Martha(Laverick) comes to the school. Her uncle is Dr. Knox(Cushing). She meets Knox's assistant, Dr. Mitchell(Dermot Walsh). A body arrives for Dr. Knox. The body has been dug up. One of Dr. Knox's students, Jackson(John Cairney) knows about the bodies being delivered by unlawful means. Jackson meets a local prostitute called Mary(Billie Whitelaw) and he likes her. Two grave robbers called Burke(George Rose) and Hare(Pleasence) are responsible for getting the corpses for Dr. Knox. He doesn't care where they come from as long as they are delivered to the school.

Martha and Dr. Mitchell become romantically involved. Mary and Jackson meet them and Mary thinks that Jackson is ashamed of her because of her profession. Burke and Hare take an old drunk lady back to Burke's boarding house and they kill her. She is the next body to be delivered to Knox. Jackson asks Mary to marry him but she says no. An old man is looking for a room in the boarding house. Burke and Hare decide he will be the next corpse. Dr. Mitchell spots the two bringing in the body. He realises that the man did not die of natural causes. He was murdered. He questions them. Knox comes along and he gives them their money. Mitchell doesn't approve. He thinks that the man was murdered. Knox doesn't care.

Mary and Jackson fall out. She meets Burke and Hare and they kill her. Jackson sees her body at the school. He realises what happened to her. He goes out looking for Burke and Hare. Hare stabs him in the back. They get rid of his body. The police find him. There is a witness to the crime. Burke and Hare kill him. A friend of Mary's goes to the police and she tells them about Burke and Hare and Knox. The locals are not happy about what has been going on and they want to catch the two murderers. They are caught. Dr. Mitchell tells Knox that they have been caught. Burke is found guilty. Hare testified against him and he got off, but the locals catch him and punish him. Burke is hanged. Knox has to meet with his peers and they aren't happy about his behaviour. He feels remorse for his part in it. He knew that some of the people were murdered. Knox seems to redeem himself and he goes back to teaching. 

This is a good film. It is an interesting take on the Burke and Hare story. The cast is impressive. Cushing plays his part well. The character is not really that likeable but Cushing is great in the role. Donald Pleasence plays Hare and he is suitably evil. It is good to see these two horror legends in a film together and an early film for both. I like these old films and John Gilling directs this one. He did some fun films for Hammer. All in all, this is a good film and the cast are very watchable. I will give it a 5/10.

These are the Damned Movie Review

Trailer here.

The gang find Simon and Joan and they are after them. They end up at the facility and end up meeting the children. They tell Simon about their teachers. These children are not normal. They are fascinated by the warmth of Simon and Joan. The two talk to the children.  King is there too. He is scared by the children. A man in a radioactive suit arrives to see the children. King isn't feeling well. Bernard knows that the children have three people with them. He tells them that they will get sick if they stay. They decide to leave.

One of them goes with King, while Joan and Simon are caught but allowed to leave. Bernard tells Freya about the kids. Their parents were exposed to radiation and that is why the children are affected. He thinks that they will be able to survive a nuclear disaster. Bernard thinks Simon and Joan will die before long. King is killed as he tries to escape with the kid. Joan and Simon try to escape on the boat but a helicopter follows them and waits for them to die. Bernard kills Freya after she refuses to be a part of his plan. The film ends with the children back in captivity, shouting for help as the people on the beach enjoy their holidays. 

This was a good film. I liked the cast and the story was interesting too. It kind of reminds me of Village of the Damned, but the kids aren't evil in his one. I liked Oliver Reed in this. He plays a good villain. This is actually a Hammer film and it does have a good cast. I definitely recommend it and I will give it a 6/10.

The Snows take Jenni away as Mickey goes to the pond and talks to someone or something. It seems like there is a woman in there, suggesting that it is the ghost of Marion.

This is a fun film. It is pretty short and there isn't much in it that will shock or creep you out, but the story is good and the ending is decent. I liked it and I definitely recommend it for an old style horror treat. I will give it 5/10.

Blood Feast a.k.a. The Night of a Thousand Cats Movie Review

Trailer here.

Blood Feast is a 1972 horror movie directed by Rene Cordona Jr. and starring Hugo Stiglitz and Anjanette Comer.

The movie begins with a playboy called Hugo(Stiglitz) who flies into his castle with a woman. They are met by his servant, Dorgo. The place is strange and the woman starts to feel uncomfortable. There are loads of cats there. Hugo takes the woman on a tour of his weird castle. He has human heads in jars. He tells her that they are made of wax, but you just know that this woman is going to end up with her head in a jar! She wants to leave but Hugo murders her. He feeds bits of her to the cats. Dorgo shoves the rest of the body into an incinerator. He keeps her scarf as a memento. Hugo goes off looking for a new victim.

He has his eye on a woman called Cathy(Comer). He flies over her house in his helicopter,which isn't creepy at all! He keeps spying on her until he gets her to come with him and visit his cats. She has a husband, though so she can't stay. A doctor calls to the castle as his car has broken down. He ends up being fed to the horde of cats. Cathy's husband comes back from his trip. Hugo is outside staring. He gets himself a new lady. He doesnt want to kill her. He likes her but she ends up dead too. Hugo doesn't want to give up on Cathy. He flies over her house again. He kidnaps her daughter and he brings her to his castle of death. Cathy comes to the castle and he tries to feed her to this gang of kitties. She runs off and he pursues her. She makes a hole in the fence of the kitties pen and they break out. They run after Hugo and they kill him and eat him. How's that for karma? Cathy escapes and the kitties meow at their dead master.

This film isn't very good.The real horror here is the way the main actor handled those cats. I don't think that the poor cats were treated very well. It's a little dodgy and I felt a bit uncomfortable at the end of this. This isn't one that I would watch again. I'm giving it a 2/10.

Taylor tells them to stay in the cage. The shark comes over to them. The girls are running out of air when they see a light in the ocean. They think that it is Javier. They bang a rock on the cage so he will hear them. The light doesn't move. Lisa says that she will go and find Javier. The shark comes after her. She hides under a rock. She swims over to the light. It's just a flashlight. Javier isn't there. Javier appears, but he gets eaten by a great white. Lisa gets lost. She grabs the cable from Javier and she manages to find the cage. Lisa swims to the surface to tell Taylor they need help. He warns her to get back into the cage. She does so and he tries to winch them back up.

The cable breaks and the cage falls down again. Lisa is trapped under it. Taylor says that he will send down extra air for them. He tells them that he has notified the coast guard. They get the extra oxygen and some flares from Taylor. The shark is above them. Kate gets attacked. Kate and Lisa are out of the cage to get the supplies and they are separated. Lisa hears her sister. Lisa gets her leg out from under the cage and goes to find her sister. She finds her and they use a flare to ward off the shark. They communicate with Taylor and he tells them to try and come slowly up to the surface. They are surrounded by sharks. Their flares go out.

Lisa and Kate have to try and swim for it. They get to the surface. Taylor throws them a line. The shark nips Lisa. Lisa and Kate are pulled aboard the ship. We then realise that Lisa is hallucinating. She is still stuck under the cage. The coast guard comes to help her. She looks for Kate and then she realises that her sister has been killed by the shark. I liked this film. It  isn't very original really but I always enjoy these shark vs. man movies. It is what you would expect but there are some good moments and I found it entertaining. I recommend it if you enjoy shark films, as I do. I will give it 5/10.
