100% mate. There's a brilliant documentary about the scene where David turns into the Werewolf. Also a really good one about Hellraiser as well which had some quality artists on board.

As an aside to this, there's a wonderful 9 (!) hour documentary (split into 2 parts) all about 80's horrors called 'In Search of Darkness'

It's unbelievable Macca - well worth your time (You can just leave it running in the background TBH, each film gets around 3-4 mins and then onto the next)

They're currently making one for 80's sci-fi called 'In Search of Tomorrow' - Cannot wait for that one!

He good to watch that documentary, enjoy stuff like that, if you like that kind of thing, try watching Dark Days: The Making of Bladerunner, it's superb, a drama by itself, makes you wonder how that film got made at all.

Recently got a new sky box delivered and lost all my films downloaded on the previous box.
One of my favourite old b/w horror films The Night of The Demon was one of them. Well just had it delivered the dvd, it's got the original Night of the Demon and the American version, Curse of the Demon, remastered, will have a look tonight.

American Werewolf in London and The Thing 1982 are as good if not better than any of that FX rubbish nowadays. At least they try and make it realistic.

American Werewolf is my favorite horror film. That transformation scene will never be topped as far as I'm concerned.

Anyone subscribe to Shudder? Watched 'Host' on there the other night, it's about 55mins long and all takes place over a Zoom call during COVID lockdown. Basically 6 friends conduct a séance with a professional over the Zoom call and end up inviting a menacing spirit into their lives. It's some of the most suspenseful and creepy film making i've seen in a long time - some genuine hair-raising spookiness at points.

It's currently sitting with a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and I highly recommend, so impressive that they managed to make it as good as it is on basically zero budget and all over Zoom. Fantastic.

Saw a similar film to this a while ago, was pretty good. Can't remember the name off the top of my head, will have to check it out.

That film was absolutely garbage. 'Host' did all of it so much better and effectively.

Absolutely excellent film!
If you like that you might like Dog Soldiers if not already seen.
