Just so you all get to know that your favorite Catgirl Princess doesn’t just watch Asian films….. here’s a look at the recently released direct to disc “Left For Dead” an Argentine Spaghetti Western/ horror film of all crazy things….
Remember….. if a film’s got zombies in it… this lil’ Catgirl has trouble NOT watching it. Will zombies actually improve a Spagetti Western? Let’s find out, shall we?
(C’mon… you know by now you reeeeallly wanna “Read On”…. admit it!!)
Yep……Neko’s got herself some more Indonesian DVD’s!! This time out it’s “Lawang Sewu: Dendam Kuntilanak” by director Arie Azis, who also did “Suster Ngesot” which I reviewed a while ago.
The Synopsis for this one reads: ” A group of teenagers decide to go to the town of Semarang to spend their school holidays. Little do they expect that when they arrive at the ruins of Lawang Sewu, that they will encounter a series of frightening events that will unravel each of their well-kept secrets.”
Does it measure up? Let’s see, shall we?
More scary stuff from Korea is on tap this time out….“Hidden Floor”, the second installment in the You Il-han and Ahn Byung-ki team-up horror series “One Day Suddenly – 4 Horror Tales” consisting of the films: “February 29″ (2006), “Hidden Floor” (2006), “D-Day” (2006), and “Dark Forest” (2006).
“One Day Suddenly” is a collection of four horror films that were originally put together and produced by Korean horror director Ahn Byung Ki, the director originally responsible for hits such as “Phone”, “Bunshinsaba” and the more recently released “APT”.
Neko-chan hasn’t yet seen the other films originally done for this collection, and my DVD for this one is the Taiwanese release which looks to be pretty much a direct port of the Korean DVD itself. Originally filmed in HD video and transferred to film, the images are crisp and lovely, allowing a much smaller budget than comparable films shot directly to film…..and it really does look professional. Let’s read more…..shall we?
