Really enjoyed this...

Glen Powell's career trajectory fascinates me. I didn't even know this guy existed until Top Gun Maverick...

8/10

Aquaslash (2019)

Canadian so-called (but it isn't really) slasher. A bunch of US high schoolers gather at the Wet Valley Water Park to celebrate their recent graduation with an 80s themed party. Unknown to them, 35 years ago the same water park was the scene of several grisly killings. Now, I'd like to say that before long a mysterious maniac starts bumping off said high schoolers in increasingly bizarre and gory ways, leading to the possibility that the killer from 35 years ago has returned. Except that doesn't happen. Instead, other than a handful of (very) brief kills near the beginning, we get nothing for pretty much the whole film until the last 10 minutes or so. In the meantime we have to put up with an assortment of jocks, nerds, airheads, and mean girls, apparently in competition with each other to see who can behave in the most dickish way. The makers were obviously aware of this massive slump, because the number of T&A bikini shots - often in slo-mo - that they cram in almost rivals those in Piranha 3DD (a much better film). Granted, once we reach that last 10 minutes we get some nice carnage with pretty good effects, but it's too late to save it, and we're way beyond caring who lives and who dies. Bad acting, bad writing (the killings from the 80s are pretty much forgotten about), bad almost everything. The ending and undeniably attractive ladies (shout-out to the car wash girls) scrape this a 3/10

I don't know how I missed this movie before but it's surprisingly better than I was expecting given the premise and fast digital release. I don't know what's considered a spoiler for it but the kid really has a future in the genre if she wants one.

The Other Hell (1981)

Italian nunsploitation/horror directed by Bruno Mattei (under one of his God-knows how many aliases, 'Stefan Oblowski'). Following the suspicious deaths of two nuns at a convent in (then) modern-day Italy, a priest attends to investigate the circumstances. Whilst there things he sees and hears lead him to suspect the supernatural may be at work, possibly even to the extent of demonic possession. As he sets about purifying the convent a third nun-death occurs in circumstances that leave him in no doubt that true evil is at work. He reports back to the bishop, who assigns a young hot-shot investigative priest (or 'ecclesiastical detective', as he refers to himself) to get to the bottom of things. However, the Mother Superior resents the young priest's presence and is openly hostile, hindering his efforts to the point where the priest begins to suspect she may be involved in some way. As the priest's investigation delves deeper he begins to experience increasingly bizarre phenomena and realises that his own life is in danger.

Bruno Mattei isn't exactly regarded as one of the greats of Italian cinema, but damn if I didn't find this a lot of fun. Mattei was renowned for 'borrowing' from other directors' work if he thought he could make a quick buck from it, and this film has elements of The Exorcist, The Omen, Suspiria, Rosemary's Baby, and Carrie, but he strings them together pretty well. Yes, it's batcrap crazy, and wildly inconsistent (great makeup effects as one character's stigmata begin to bleed, terrible makeup effects on another character's burnt face), but it's really atmospheric and has a terrific finale. Bizarrely, there's no nudity or sex(!) but it still gets a 7.5/10

Beetlejuce "and it keeps getting funnier every time I see it!"

Looper have not seen it in years that whole scene of the old looper 'falling apart' is still freaking insane
