TIME CRIMES
Another in a line of excellent Spanish films where the horror is psychological rather than blood-spattered. Ignoring the theory that you cannot go back in time (or forward) and meet yourself, the film plays with the results of going back a short way in time by leaving the current male lead in a nightmare where he meets himself not once but twice with devastating effects.
KING OF THE HILL
This late substitute for 'The Substitute' is anoth Spanish film again using the theme of killer children in the wild, more or less and adventure film than any sort of frightener - reminiscent of 'The Most Dangerous Game' withouth the prey knowing who was hunting them or why. Well filmed and gripping, it had a plus in that the hunter came out on top.
TRAILER PARK OF TERROR
This took the teenagers in jeopardy theme into a parody of the genre while piling on the gore. Not that good though it kept moving.
MUM AND DAD
What a nasty little film. Some nice touches though.
Gave up on the remaining films of the day.

I wasn't as taken with the two Spanish entries as you seem to be although i found the first one rather fascinating, albeit totally
unlikely
