I almost bought this film from the same director but whilst reading the user reviews it became apparent that real animals where used in making this film so will not buy/watch.

Another great gore fest in the same vein as meatballmachine and Tokyo gore police is an Italian film(I think) called Adam Chaplin. Crazy gore.

stipete75

Adam Chaplin
(Warning very gory)

RS_Matt

I've already put Cannibal on the list. Never knew it had another name.

Turbohot

My God! This one looks very violent, even on the still. Not for the weak-hearted, I suppose.

stipete75

Ah, ditto, I didn't realise it was called just cannibal on some sites.

stipete75

Yeah it's deff for extreme splatter gore fans only.
Fantastic effects, all over the top of course but pretty crappy film tbh, it's like the crow on steroids lol
Worth a watch if your a gore hound.........like me

Turbohot

No, thanks. You are funny for watching an OTT and crappy film; just for gore.

RS_Matt

Try watching it on a Triluminos display, it's a whole new ball game.

lozgti1

Had to google that.Didn't even know what it was!

Bet a film like Gladiator be good on that.I enjoyed that film

RS_Matt

The colour is sensational in the Film Lucy, there's barely a scene that doesn't feature a splash of vibrant colour.

It's an ok film but visually it's a work of art.

Turbohot

I watched The Departed (2006) last night on TV. I also saw a bit of Unstoppable (2010, I think). The Departed was very good, and Unstoppable wasn't bad either. I recorded The Artist, although I watched it in the picture hall when it came out. It's a good film. Makes you think that French can deliver better than that Lucy garbage, if in right mind.

stipete75

The french make films like no other!
If you don't mind subs then try the likes of.......

Switchblade romance, aka high tension.

All totally mesmerising watches, every one sticks in your head for weeks after.
They do what films are supposed to.

Turbohot

Thank you very much, Pete.

I'm a fan of French films, and subtitles don't bother me.

Add these to the list:

The Diving Bell and The Butterfly

La Vie en Rose

IMO both excellent biographical films.

stipete75

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly synopsis sounds like it would be a great watch, great reviews too, will order this evening, thanks

Another french film(thriller) that has great reviews is...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387898/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4

Will order this one too this evening.

Wasn't Betty Blue in FRench?

Excellent film

lozgti1

I love subtitled films !

Turbohot

Thank you.


I haven't watched this one, but certainly would like to. Thank you.

lozgti1

Slightly rude if I remember.But very,very good

Turbohot

Rudeness isn't a problem, if it's relevantly and artistically put in the film.

lozgti1

Won numerous awards.Check Wiki.....

RS_Matt

Ma Mère is an interesting French flick.

Bizarre ending that no one would ever guess.

lozgti1

It was Mon Pere that dunnit?;-)

I'll check it out.We are going a bit high brow now.Excellent (if its not just a French gore fest...lol)

Christophe Honoré

Take the phrase Crywank to a whole new level.

Just watched Deliver Us From Evil. Eric Bana is lead. Fairly decent tbh. Didn't review well with critics but reviews from movie fans said good. Watched it on demand and thought it was money well spent. Good enough for me.

I watched In Fear today, which was quite tense.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2165859/

Not the greatest film I've ever watched and some might find it boring, but I didn't fall asleep through it, so it couldn't have been that bad.

Turbohot

I watched Shadow Dancer (2012) tonight, in which a female IRA person gets caught and then becomes an MI5 informer. I missed first 30 mins, so I think she was forced to become an informer. I didn't quite understand what was said in the film most time, but that didn't bother me. I worked it out somehow. A grim tale. I give it 3 out of 5 rating.

RS_Matt

Watched Alien Abduction last neet which scared the hell out of me.


Also watched the acclaimed The Loved ones which was crap.

Swati, I think you will enjoy Betty Blue or 37 degrees at 2am to give it its correct title.

Beautifully shot, enchanting soundtrack and that typically understated French direction make it wonderfully atmospheric and it does not worry about the need to make the audience happy in the way so much Hollywood fodder does. The beauty is in the execution, not the result.

stipete75

I thought the loved ones was an epic watch!
Horses for courses, it has fantastic universal positive reviews.
Daveyj loved deliver us from evil and enjoyed it, I watched it sat night and thought it was absolutely terrible,again horses for courses.
