Wes Craven's notoriously up-and-down career hit a new low with awful sequel The Hills Have Eyes Part II (1985) - the one that features a flashback to the first film from the dog's perspective. Yes, that one...

Porky Pig and Daffy Duck Meet the Groovie Goolies (1972) is a disastrously bad television special featuring many of the Looney Tunes characters that has to be endured to be believed.

The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) was another disappointing outing for Roger Moore as James Bond, despite a terrific performance by Christopher Lee as the eponymous assassin.

@bunnydarke.bsky.social and @eofftv.bsky.social, Powerhouse Films have got a buy three get 20% deal on Blu-ray’s at the moment, including lots of Hammer (which are already quite cheap). I think it’s worth sharing! Here’s my recent order.

Object Z (1965) is a terrific British science fiction television series, recently released on blu-ray. Ostensibly aimed at children, it's a more mature and serious 6-parter than you might expect, full of twists and turns, all spoiled here so be careful!

Mike Newell's lead footed The Awakening (1980) is a good looking but dreary adaptation of Bram Stoker's The Jewel of the Seven Stars. Hammer's Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971) did it so much better.

More Tigon SF in an underwhelming 1972 big screen spin-off from the much better TV series Doomwatch. A good cast but it all feels very stretched out and implausible.

The Body Stealers (1969) is a very silly science fiction film from Tony Tenser's Tigon about aliens abducting humans from thin air to help repopulate their home world. When he's not too busy chasing skirt, Patrick Allen tries to stop them.

Prime Rose: A Time Slip of 10,000 Years (1983) is a tonally weird science fiction/fantasy romp from the mind of anime master Osamu Tezuka which is, at times, charming, innocent fun and at others... rather unsavoury.

Live and Let Die (1973) introduced a new James Bond I the shape of Roger Moore, but it was an inauspicious debut, a rather humdrum adventure that turns Bond into an international narcotics agent. Great theme tune though.

Hajime Satô's House of Terrors (1965) is a terrific Gothic, heavily inspired by The Haunting (1963) and contemporary Italian horror films but still unmistakenly Japanese. Hard to find for years, it's emerged as something of a lost gem.

Robert Fuest's The Final Programme (1973) is a disappointing adaptation of the Michael Moorcock novel by a writer/director who didn't really understand what the book was about. Jon Finch and Jenny Runacre are very good in the lead roles though.

Rod Hardy's television film, Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD (1998), stars David Hasselhoff as a bland an unimpressive secret agent. It would take a full decade to get Fury on screen again, in the more impressive shape of Samuel L. Jackson.

Just settling into the most recent episode of the wonderful Hammer Time, after watching ‘The Curse of the Werewolf’ (starring the fabulous Oliver Reed) last night. My hot take:
Fantastic dark fairy tale film, functional werewolf film.
