Been a fairly quiet week this one, but I have to say that it has zipped past at a fair old rate of knots. No reason, it just has. On Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday I broke my current duck on exercise (haven’t done any since getting back from Crete) and did about an hour and a half per day on the cycle machine. Here are the films I whiled away the time with whilst peddling away:
Monday - Rogue. A nice little film about a killer crocodile that attacks a group of, quite innocent, people on a tour of the river.
Tuesday - Pontypool. A pile of steaming shit that has somehow got a 7/10 rating on IMDB. I had to go on there and give it 1/10 as I just couldn’t bloody well believe it. The film is about people getting a virus as the English language has been infected with it. Absolute clap trap.
Wednesday - Deadline. I quietly liked this. Just a lowish budget film about a woman who stays in a house haunted by a murdered woman. Charming.
I've been watching a few horrors at the moment, the best I've seen of late are Orphan and Paranormal Activities. The later was superb until the ending which let it down a bit. Anyway, I had an idea for a film, which I will run past you now:
It's set in the future to start, ideally in space I think. A bunch of characters have come up with a time machine type contraption and to test it out they get a load of convicts (some of these could be alien types like Chewbacca & Mac from "Mac & Me") to test it out on. So, they set the machine to go back to present day England, but something goes wrong with the experiment & the test subjects are caught up between dimensions. Oh yeah, it's pretty serious. They end up in dimensions at present day England (they nearly made it) & are close enough to touch but you never can. The problem is, you see, that they are not in the four dimensions we live in (not including time).
The film then focuses on psychic types who say they can communicate with the dead and such bunkum, who (for the purposes of the film) discover they can talk to the people trapped in the other dimensions. Obliviously there is nothing they can do to bring them back other than try to communicate with them. Therefore the trapped people get mad and do the equivalent of poltergeist activity on the psychics. Basically I want a sci-fi film which turns into a horror film with the explanation for the haunting being people trapped in another dimension, who’ve gone mad.
Let me know what you think?
