Revenge of the Living Dead Girls (1987)

Posted on October 5, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Revenge of the Living Dead Girls is a curious title that begs a view. A cheap french zombie flick with quite the twist and some nasty gore!

Volunteers (1985)

Posted on September 28, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Most will see Volunteers as a dumb American comedy, which it certainly is and there are plenty of better ones. However, I always favour the underdog and prefer the pointlessness of this film over Hanks’ bigger hits like Big and Splash.

Renegades (2017)

Posted on June 8, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Renegades has been sitting in my “to watch” pile for about a number of years.
Written by Luc Besson and Richard Wenk (Taken and The Equaliser), there should be some treasure to be found in this story or Navy Seals looking for lost… treasure.

Top Line (1988)

Posted on June 1, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Top Line is a mess and it’s a great shame as there are some great ideas early on for a spirited adventure before things take a ridiculous sci-fi turn in the last 20 minutes.

The Squeeze (1977)

Posted on May 18, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

The Squeeze from 1977 is really a combination of the talent involved to keep things entertaining and thrilling. A forgotten British thriller that needs to be resurrected!

Shallow Grave (1987)

Posted on April 27, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

All involved deserve more credit than they got for Shallow Grave as it’s a solid winner that benefits from its cheap feel and it is honestly a pretty unexpected success.

Rangers (2000)

Posted on April 13, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Rangers (2000) stitches together a direct-to-video thriller with quality action sequences from the bigger, better movies. The results are craptacular!

Weapons of Death (1977)

Posted on April 6, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Weapons of Death is a real oddity. It’s a spin off to a series of movies that were popular at the box office in the 1970s. There are a couple of tactics being used, to get bums on seats, pretty shrewd tactics.

Violent Naples (1976)

Posted on March 23, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

A mere 7 months after the first film the sequel to Violent Rome, Violent Naples hits! Motorcycle chases, bank robbers and crime bosses beware Betti is back!

Violent Rome (1975)

Posted on March 16, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

“Violent Rome” catapulted Maurizio Merli to stardom as Commissioner Betti, a cop-cum-vigilante. Directed by Marino Girolami, this action-packed film blends thrilling police drama with vengeance, marked by a standout car chase and brutal realism.
