Stranger, The (1946): 70 years on it is showing its age but it still has some appeal.; DVD $29.95
Perfume - The Story of a Murderer (2006): An uneven screenplay but at least it was fresh. When it was good it was very good – particularly when our hero was a baby/a young lad. The set designs in these early scenes were brilliant. Alan Rickman shores up the middle but the late scenes are silly.
Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in His Own Words (2016): Through good editing, the documentary zapped along and his responses to the many questions highlighted the intelligence of the man and his ability to think on his feet.
Alpha (2018): The animal training was commendable and along with the photography, it is worth seeing.
My Dinner with Andre (1981): It needs patience but the unbroken conversation does have some interesting segments.
A Study in Terror (1965): Although the screenplay is no more than serviceable the period production values are fine and so is the casting.
Little Children (2006): The film had 2 themes – an illicit love affair & pedophilia. The early scenes, prior to the two lovers amalgamating, were the strongest but then later ones with a great Jackie Earle Haley's performance (as the predator) were just as good.
Blood Beast Terror, The (1967): It is not great but it is never boring – the casting of Cushing helped by the excellent character actor Glynn Edwards plus Wanda Ventham, Roy Hudd, etc ensures that.
Night of the Big Heat (1967): The screenplay probably didn't do justice to the plot idea but the casting certainly helped. rn
Midsommar (2019): It doesn't really create any suspense and the story is more akin to being based on a true story than a horror but the production values and the soundtrack are worthy.
