Plot: First impressions of The Woman (Cleaning a wound in a stream) shes a bit of a skank, on the hunt for something, all gammy teeth and psycho eyes. Killing whatever it is in a frenzy you wouldn't mess with this chick. All in all I'd do her. A few miles but a world away the Cleek family are attending an all American BBQ, huge houses with massive gardens, children are playing in the pool, men are drinking beer and cooking meat. The Cleek's, Chris (Sean Bridgers) father & local lawyer a respectable member of the community, his wife Belle (Angela Bettis) and 3 kids, Peggy (Lauren Ashley Carter), Brian (Zach Rand) & the youngster, Darlin. On the surface the family seem respectable but then I'm sure some said that about the West's.

| Meet the Cleeks |
The more we see the family the similarities between the parents and children become apparent. Brian is a nasty shit, wanting to become the family rapist. Peggy is a withdrawn loner, slowly becoming as sub-servant as her mother to the men of the family and the fact that shes pregnant represents her turning into her mother. You can't keep a crazy bitch down & as woman all stick together it leads to an inevitable blood-lust of an ending.

| Jesus has really let himself go |
Is it good: Yes. Another reversal film with the (normal) family kidnapping the psycho inbred nutter. Major horror/slasher films would beg for a family this naturally dysfunctional, the story works because it takes some time to really see this, at first you could almost be tricked into thinking he did want to "save" the woman & didn't just want a fuck puppet (Apart from the glint in his eye when he see's her tits) the story takes time to develop along with the characters and its all the better for it "the woman not really being the main focus of the film till the end, more the changing of the family due to her presence. There are genuinely unexpected twists towards the end (the 3 punch combo was just nasty). The gore and violence are well used also the quirky Indie rock soundtrack made it feel like an extremely fucked up version of Juno. The acting is pretty good, Sean Bridgers is like a substandard Bill Paxton (Not a bad thing he is the most underrated actor of all time) and the film is also a kind of fucked up version of Paxtons "Big Love". Strangely this film is also cheaper on Blu-ray than DVD which was a bonus.

| There's a little something on your..... |
There was no real clarity on whether the baby was her fathers and she was protecting her younger sister from a similar fate or whether even the Woman was an earlier sibling released into the wild.
Overall: A very very dark comedy, perhaps a little of the scale for some as various scenes do leave a bad taste (maybe not a first date movie). Perhaps leave this cannibal splatter Juno/Big Love movie till the 3rd date as a test.
Directors: Lucky McKee Cast: Angela Bettis, Carlee Baker, Marcia Bennett, Pollyanna McIntosh, Sean Bridgers

Stag Night (2008)
 |
| I'd leave it 10 mins if I was you love |
Plot: Pretty poor showing for a stag do, only 3 friends and one of them is his cock end of a brother Tony (Breckin Meyer) who gets them chucked out of a strip joint in the first 5 mins. Mike (Kip Pardue) isn't to fused though he'd rather be at home with his wife to be & baby. Carl (Scott Adkins) seems to be up for the party though and convinces Mike & Joe (Karl Geary) not to pussy out & go home. They travel across NY on the subway to party on....
Carl, the charmer spots 2 of the strippers on the train, trys his luck & scores so bellend Tony goes for her fit mate and succeeds in making her mace the whole carriage. Jumping off, half blind, when the train stops they get stuck as it fucks off without them.
Only Carl & stripper1 (Sarah Barrand) seem happy about this as they split of for a quicky. The rest of them including stroppy stripper2 (Vinessa Shaw) go off to get help.
Unfortunately for all of them the underground seems to be populated by mental cavemen like cannibal mutant killers (Aren't they all).

| Not the best place to get your head down |
Scott Adkins is in a movie and he doesn't throw a single punch, the new mixed martial arts action star & they have him in it for his acting, just weird. I suppose you could ask why some cavemen like cannibals have managed to hook up cable TV to their trailer but when you open that up how can they kill anyone especially a cop and somehow be undiscovered, that's the reason you don't think too much about films, just understand its about as accurate as Braveheart and U-571 sit back relax & drink lots of beer.

| Warning Negs at work |
Considering the women are strippers there is a distinct lack of nakedness, a tiny bit of tit.
Overall: A (maybe unintentional) reworking of the London underground horror Death Line (1972). If not for the pointless shaky cam it could have been a contender.
Director:Peter A. Dowling Cast: Kip Pardue, Vinessa Shaw, Breckin Meyer, Karl Geary, cott Adkins, Sarah Barrand, Rachel Oliva
