23/11/14 Late Phases (2014)

Aah, enthusiasm, wake from slumber.

Anyway, for the two or three people that occasionally read this , here's the latest stuff we've watched that I've been slow to put up here.

Late Phases is a about a blind, emotionally stiff former soldier who moves into a retirement bungalow. He's pensioner himself, not just a chap who enjoys dwelling among the elderly. Gerontophilia is apparently the word that describes those sort of people.

The first evening he's there, his neighbour gets eaten by a werewolf. I mean, fucking hell, that'd be a disappointment when you're fresh into your new pad: Lovely views, south facing garden, good local amenities, occasional werewolf problem.

The old guy might be old, blind and a poor father to his adult son, but he's tough as a tramp's cock and decides he ain't going out like no bitch, yo. So he makes a stand and fucks up some werewolf shit.

The old guy is played by Nick Damici who, in my humble, should be in loads more films as he's stuffing good at the acty business.

02/10/14 Wer (2013)

An American family go to Europe and get partially eaten. Everyone suspects the local giant odd fellow. They also think he might be a werewolf.

Investigated by chief inspector Gordon Ramsey.

"Too much fucking salt in this fucking omelette. Now where's my fucking werewolf case file, my handcuffs and other police shit?"

Anyway, the film's very good and does a nice alternative version of the werewolf thing.

20/02/13 Wolf (1994)

"Let's make a werewolf film!"

"Yeah! Attacks on the moors, castles, woodlands, transformation scene, full moon, struggle between man and beast, amazing special effects..."

"Maybe. Or we could make one about an old guy, working for a book publishers who wants to bone Michelle Pfeiffer."

"...But still with the special effects?"

"Fake beard."

"Great!"

*High fives*

29/05/12 Never Cry Werewolf (2008)

Slightly above average werewolf flick, although considering it was made for (I believe) the SyFy channel, it borders on an artistic masterpiece for their stuff.

This film gets compared to Fright Night, which is fair as it's essentially the same. But with werewolves instead of vampires. It's not as good as Fright Night though, that's ace.

Why do werewolves attack humans? It's not like they have to eat people. Can't they just wander off and nibble a cow, or think "Ooh, full moon tonight. I'll leave the pork chops on the side"?
