Cinema Blog #3ish: The Candy Snatchers and Blood Freak
No full cinema blog on The Candy Snatchers or Blood Freak. Unfortunately, a day of having my ass kicked getting the new futon set-up was enough for me. The Candy Snatchers was... bizarre, often quite unexpected, and tasteless in all the right places. Mostly. I think that I've just had a bad streak lately of watching films with unexpected rape scenes. The Candy Snatchers, being exploitation cinema, had two.
Everything I have to say about Blood Freak is at my Classic-Horror review.
Caught the new Doctor Who. Without spoilers, I can safely say that I like the new companion.
( With spoilers... ever-so-minor. Really more speculation based on a teensy-weensy detail I caught that I don't even explicitly describe )
Bought some DVDs today, including a few slasher films since my collection is woefully without. Yes, I said woefully. Upon finishing "Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of Slasher Cinema" by Adam Rockoff (and watching the companion documentary -- thank you Starz for sending me five bajillion copies in various stages of not-quite-finished), I realized that I'd given this particular subgenre an unfair shake. Steps have been taken to rectify this.
