A strange mixture of death and violence and a 12 certificate. Utterly terrifying at times and an excellent use of a deer. Recommended.
I see a film and I write a few words about it. Sometimes I add a picture.

78. Unknown
Liam Neeson's B-Movie roadshow rolls into town with Unknown. It's actually pretty good, although it does spend far too much of the running time being completely average...
58. Killer Joe
Matthew Maccaroni is really, really good in Killer Joe. In fact he is pretty freaking amazing considering he is the acting equivalent of rehydrated gristle (usually). However the best thing in the movie (which jam packed with top peformances) is the bottom feeding, slack jawed Ansel (a crumbly faced Thomas Haden Church).
Overall, it's a grim and grotty affair but not without a certain psychotic charm and you'll certainly never look at KFC in the same way after seeing it.
48. Final Destination 5
I am a big fan of the Final Destination series and 5 is another steady instalment to the series that was suppose to have ended with the previous film 'The Final Destination' - which will no doubt be re-named in up and coming box sets as FD4.
5 takes the usual format and strips away the whole 'lets try and figure out why we survived and why we are all dying' aspect with Candyman popping up and telling our soon-to-be-deceased protagonists what the deal is. This leaves the film with more time to off teenagers but actually seems to slow the proceedings a little before turning into a more standard slasher for a good 15 minutes or so before the climax.
And what an end sequence it is! Probably the best ending to any FD movie (including the original I'd say).
Oh and the best death sequence... It has to be the gymnasium death scene - totally and utterly ridiculous but it had me in stitches.
