The Boogey Man (1980)

A middling entry in the video nasty list. I don't really know why a slasher took a bizarre detour into haunted house and exorcism territory but I'm okay with that. Great soundtrack, decent gore, well shot and it's always a pleasure to see John Carradine even if the role is not his usual crusty old doomsayer. The end seemed a little rushed but overall The Bogey Man was pretty good.

Here Comes the Devil (2012)

A low budget slice of 1970s, euro-style grindhouse from Mexico.

The camera-work is almost schizophrenic with some beautiful framing let down with way too many Jesus Franco zooms and some loose editing.

A truly intense killing and a deep sense of unease running throughout made this a pretty decent watch and well worth it if you're into schlocky, euro horror (even though it's Mexican).
