The second one is The Snow Woman.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Not as good as the previous films in this franchise but I still enjoyed it as a fun slasher flick and I hope we get more Fear Street films.

6.5/10

Incredibly ambitious in scale and narrative, everything in Venice is magnificent and the Orient Express finale is suitably epic.

This was pretty interesting and different and while I didn't think the ending was all that satisfying I did like it overall. It's atleast worth watching for Colby Minifie's fantastic performance which honestly surprised me considering I never knew she had this much talent as a dramatic actress but she really knocked it out of the park here compared to her more comedic roles in The Boys.

6.5/10




This was pretty much a Danish version of The Town and if you enjoy heist films I'm sure you'll enjoy this one as well if you like that genre.

7/10



Easily one of the best films I've seen all year. It's the definition of a slow burn though which means it won't be for everyone but the payoff in this was definitely worth the buildup. I'm also glad I didn't do any kind of research in advance for this because it made the reveal even more horrific and unsettling.

8/10

Female Prisoner Scorpion: #701's Grudge Song (1973)

The fourth and final Female Prisoner Scorpion movie to star Meiko Kaji as 'Scorpion'. Director of the first three films Shunya Itō is here replaced by Yasuharu Hasebe.

Scorpion is again lying low, but acting on a tip-off the police storm a wedding chapel where she is working. After a furious battle and foot chase she manages to escape. Badly injured she hides out near a strip club. Kudo, one of the club's male staff, finds her, and having received several vicious beatings from the police himself in the past, takes pity and shelters her. Once she has recovered the two of them carry out an armed robbery on a police payroll convoy(!) and are pursued by the particularly vicious and amoral Inspector Kodama (a terrific performance by Toshiyuki Hosokawa). However, during the course of their escape and efforts to avoid capture they accidentally cause the death of Kodama's wife, making him doubly vengeful, vowing to beat Scorpion to death with his own hands. After managing to evade capture for some time Kudo is finally caught and tortured once more by the police, who are determined to break him, allowing Kodama to get his promised revenge on the Scorpion...

The change in director means this final entry isn't as surreal as the others, with the violence feeling more gritty, and the detectives behaving like Japanese versions of those from the classic 1970s UK police drama The Sweeney. Meijo Kaji is as good as ever in the title role, and the sleaze factor is ramped back up to that of the first film. There's a useful line when the police try to arrest Scorpion at the wedding chapel, where we find that she's currently wanted for the murder of eight police officers, three prison breaks, and 28 attempted escapes! (They don't even bother saying how many gangsters she's killed - they're probably still counting!) However, the film suffers from the fact that even more than in the last one, some of Scorpion's actions are hard to get behind. Also, some plot points are ridiculous to the point of screaming 'last minute rewrites'. For example, what is the point of taking all the risks involved with breaking someone out of a maximum security prison on the morning of their execution by hanging, just so you can take them somewhere else and execute them - by hanging?!? I can only imagine that events after the escape were originally supposed to play out differently. But it's still enjoyable, and whilst it doesn't reach the level of the first two films, it's on a par with the third. 7/10

DOUBLE FEATURE

[Frodo]

By far ,the weakest one I've seen so far.

This one certainly had the weakest acting of all of them , and while the film's aren't exactly know for their acting prowess , the actors in the first three were pretty good .

Maybe I've been spoiled by seeing Final Destination : Bloodlines first.

Believe the hype folks - this film is the real deal...
