Frightfest 2008: Day 3 (24.09.08)

PEUR(S) DU NOIR
An animated feature made by a number of different animators which I had thought of mssing. As it tunred out, it was variable but the good bits were very entertaining and there were enough of them for the lesser parts to be ignored.
DANCE OF THE DEAD
Zombie formation from toxic waste combined with prom night angst in a forgettable but enjoyable mix which turned out to be rather better than I was expecting.
MANHUNT
A Norwegian version of 'The Most Dangerous Game' with a foursome going into the Norwegian wilderness where they are hunted by some of the locals. Rather shocking and brutal with, yet again, the resourceful female escaping - or does she?
THE CHASER
A Korean suspense thriller where inept cops and an ex-cop lead who runs a call-girl ring. he gets involved in the hunt for a killer when he thinks he is losing girls because they run away. Very well done with a fine leavening of humour and a strong central role.
BUBBA'S CHILI PARLOR
A near amateur effort at producing the grindhouse movie reproduced by Tarentino and Rodriguez, much more professionally.
Virtually no redeeming features.
Comment
Ine tends to lore tolerance and patience after sitting thru (sic) so many films in a row but Bubba's whatsit was total rubbish
pppatty
