Whew! It's taken me a couple of days to type this lot up, as I saw a lot of films on the final day of the festival, and I think we all know I am a bit prone to tl;dr reviews, even when I think the thing I'm writing about was rubbish. But I've managed it now! It's up to you to decide if you are brave enough to read it all. ;-)
( 15a-f. Short Films )
( TV Heaven: Children of the Stones (HTV, 1976) )
( 16a. Intrusion (1961), dir. Michael Reeves )
( 16b. The Sorcerers (1967), dir. Michael Reeves )
( 17. Robocop (1987), dir. Paul Verhoeven )
( 18. The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974), dir. Jorge Grau )
So that was a pretty intensive weekend of film viewing all told - in fact, coming out of the other end of it I find that I am now well ahead of 2009's total of 14 films seen over the entire year, even though it is still only June. I absolutely loved it, though, and have found myself haunting Amazon and eBay ever since it ended, swooping up copies of films I saw, or other works by the same actors and directors to add to my collection. Debate is currently raging on
miss_s_b's journal about what form next year's festival should take. But whatever the final line-up, unless life conspires to stop me I'm pretty sure I'm going to be there.
