'Peur(s) du Noir', the first film of the day is an animated feature made by a number of different animators and we had intended to miss it but did not. As it turned out, it was variable but the good bits were very entertaining and
there were enough of them for the lesser parts to be ignored.
'Dabce of the Dead' takes zombie formation from taxic waste and combines it
with prom night angst in a forgettable but enjoyable mix which turned out to
be rather better than I was expecting.
'Manhunt' is a Norwegian variation on 'The Most Dangerous Game' with a
foursome going into the Norwegian wilderness where they are hunted by some of the locals. Rather shocking and brutal with, yet again, the resource-
ful female escaping - or does she?
'The Chaser' is a Korean suspense thriller with inept cops and an ex-cop lead
who runs a call-girl ring. He gets involved in the hunt for a killer when he
thinks he is losing girls because they run away. Very well done with a fine
leavening of humour and a strong central role.
'Bubba's Chili Parlor' is a near amateur effort at producing the grindhouse movie reproduced by Tarentino and Rodriguez much more professionally.
Virtually no redeeming features.
