A Brilliant Conflict
... View MoreIt's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreMY BLOODY BANJO is a trashy, gruesome little tribute to Troma, made in the UK but managing to slip a Lloyd Kaufman cameo in there just for the sake of it. The best thing I can say about this is that it's better than the films made by Chris Seaver, such as FILTHY MCNASTY, but only just. The story is about a bored office worker whose abusive girlfriend drives him over the edge and into some very dark places. THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE's Laurence R. Harvey plays an abused co-worker and there's a stand-out gore scene on a toilet of all places, which will have any male viewer wincing in empathy with the main character's plight. The rest is dumb, trashy, and lowbrow.
... View MoreThis film is a unique tale of romance in a office. You know man meets woman, then his friend turns up one day.I do like this kind of British horror film. It made me laugh, it made me look away in parts and it did not take itself to seriously . The effects, sounds and sets are good some of the cinematography was not as good the comedy did make up for that.You can see some nods to other film styles but you kind of expect that in this kind of film. I would of liked to know some of the who's and whys to move the story along. As this is the directors first feature film all I can say is well done please carry on.
... View MoreLiam Regan's debut film - which screened to a highly appreciative audience at Frightfest 2015 - is a love letter to Troma and the early films of Frank Henenlotter. A low-budget exercise in adoration that often plumbs the depths of bad taste to amusing effect, it's an energetic and gleeful tale that also often reveals a surprising sense of self-discipline and maturity for a first effort. This is clearly a filmmaker whose love for the genre and his film shines through and should hopefully be the start of a promising career. Oh, and if you don't know what the title refers to - or what the film is about - I'm not going to tell you; apart from the fact that the film is about a worm that turns. And what happens to one particular 'worm' made me cross my legs - and may have the same effect on many other male viewers! British exploitation cinema is clearly alive and well and, for that, many thanks Liam Regan!
... View MoreI saw Banjo at it's world premier at Frightfest and I have to say what a blast! After a slowish start the pace really picks up and the film gets more entertaining as it progresses as we are taken on a trip into sexual depravity, slapstick humour and mindless gore. The director is clearly one to watch as for a first feature he has taken on the unenviable task of balancing horror and humour and for the most-part succeeded. The casting and some of the acting is also first-rate and the use of the College Jock/Nerd dynamic is particularly effective. An awesome debut from what is clearly a dedicated and very talented independent UK director.
