    Watching Mark of Werewolf with Naschy

    Ah, the one that started it all. I had to think for a moment which one that is, such is the trouble with it having multiple names.

    Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning (2025)
    It's a mess. Would it not be better for the human race if The Entity were destroyed? What the hell was all that with Luther? And there isn't enough meat on the bone to justify the bloated runtime. If there is another one, then the series needs a back to basics film, closer to the original film, or even the tv series.

    1. Mission Impossible: Fallout (2018)
    2. Mission Impossible (1996)
    3. Mission Impossible III (2006)
    4. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (2011)
    5. Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (2023)
    6. Mission Impossible 2 (2000)
    7. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015)
    8. Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning (2025)

    The Luther thing, I think, was a result of the successful audience response to how they handled Val Kilmer in Top Gun Maverick. They wanted that legacy character send off, the death of a long time character the audience would react to, and thus Luther was chosen. It is a lot less successful here as it doesnt come across as genuine.

    I guess it had to be Luther really, he's been there since the beginning, and his death would propel Ethan to go after Gabriel (speaking of Gabriel, why did he suddenly become Dick Dastardly?) more than anyone else.


    Though I haven't seen TG: Maverick, considering Kilmer's health at the time, and his passing since, I don't doubt it has a greater impact on the audience.

    DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS (1971)

    74c723ca3eab1cc7dd111918e263b616_3x3.jpg

    Harry Kümel’s erotic vampire tale drifts like a dark dream: beautiful, melancholy, and impossible to escape. Surrealism reigns as Kümel slowly unmoors his characters from reality, bathing them in strange colors, seawater, and sand until the world itself feels hypnotized. Delphine Seyrig moves through it all like an apparition of desire and danger, her every gesture a quiet rebellion against a patriarchal age. I love everything about this film; Daughters Of Darkness is mysterious, overlooked, yet unforgettable once seen.

    The film is set in Ostend, with an international cast directed by a bloke from Antwerp who during his career received more praise abroad than in his own country.

    PREDATOR (1987)
    "If it bleeds...we can kill it!"
    In anticipation of going to 'Predator: Badlands' tomorrow with my service users, I thought I'd give the original another whirl! Still great fun, though the majority of the film is like an adult A-Team movie ( it even has Craig Baxley on action duties, who worked on that TV series!) with macho posturing and naff jokes , John McTiernans movie really kicks into gear for the splendidly staged finale when Arnie finally goes mano a mano with effects supremo Stan Winstons wonderful creature! All together now "...GET TO DA CHOPPA!"

    When I added it to my watchlist I saw the Belgian angle and I already wondered why I never heard of it.

    @GoldenGun

    Let me explain. We Belgians are notoriously bad at celebrating our own achievements. Our country hosts one of the largest petrochemical hubs in the world. At IMEC in Leuven, 85% of the world’s chip technology is developed. Our offshore wind expertise is internationally acclaimed. We stand at the forefront of cancer research and therapy. And we’ve even exported a few brilliant horror films to international audiences.

    Yet most Belgians are unaware of all this. Instead, we obsess over our political dysfunction, our painful colonial past, and our mediocre showings at Eurovision. We are, if nothing else, a profoundly masochistic people.

    Except when it comes to our beers and food. Then we truly are a proud lot.

    Well I can't disagree with you on any of these points :)

    A double bill for the day that was in it!
    THE INVISIBLE MAN (1933)
    Those old Universal horror movies still hold up well, astonishing when you think of how long ago they were made. This is one of my favourites,Director James Whale creates wonderful atmosphere, and has terrific character actors supporting ( Una O 'Connor is a standout here, as the screeching busybody landlady!) Claude Rains, in his debut, is the scientist, who having discovered the secret of invisibility, tries desperately to reverse the process, all the while descending into madness, from a side effect of one of the drugs. Great set pieces, and clever effects, and a well staged finale. Wonderful stuff

    CARRIE (1976)
    Brian De Palmas excellent film of the Stephen King novel. Sissy Spacek plays the lead as the shy repressed teenager, with a mad religious obsessed mother , Piper Laurie. Carrie, bullied constantly in high school, discovers she has special powers, which she puts to spectacular use in a fiery climax at the prom, when a cruel joke is played on her! Well directed by De Palma, and with an excellent supporting cast, this is still probably the best adaptation of one of King's novels. Unless 'The Running Man' turns out to be a masterpiece!!!😃

    Two of my favourites there mate!

    The special effects in The Invisible Man are absolutely astonishing for the time. A brilliant film with lashings of Whale's black humour.

    Carrie is De Palma's best film IMO. As well as the best King adaptation. I remember watching it on TV with my younger brother, us both leaping off the settee at the end jump scare!

    Nice to see some appreciation for this amazing film @DarthDimi

    I saw a screening on British TV many years ago and never forgot it. It really is a mesmerizing experience.

    Delphine Seyrig is absolutely beguiling in it.

    Unfortunately i only have the DVD. Would love a bluray copy.
