Peekers (2008)
Extremely freaky!
I saw this short at Dead by Dawn 2008 Edinburgh's horror film fest, I'm surprised by the votes it currently has here on IMDb. There was an audience vote at DBD to choose the best short horror of the festival, this came third. Personally I voted it to win. It's very low budget yes, but it affected my psyche a lot more than many of the ridiculously high budgeted shorts on display which I'll never think about again. This short really freaked me out! The idea is really simple but effective. Reminded me of some nightmares i've had. The actors involved did a good job too in realising this story, especially that guys wife at the top of the stairs!! eek! Very Twilight Zoneseque which can only be a good thing.
I'd like to say bravo!
The Keep (1983)
amazing piece of thought provoking cinema
I watched this film for the first time no more than 5 weeks ago. I was mesmerised from start to finish. Since then each time someone came round to my house I asked them if they had seen The Keep. None of them said they had so I have since watched it 4 more times since then! Every one saying that they enjoyed it. I could never bore of this film.
It's a fairytale story of an ultimate evil feeding on deceit, power, greed & insanity against what is good in the world. The casting is superb, the camera work amazing, the score very fitting and the the concept is very compelling. Though it has its eighties moments I hold this film in very high regard. They just don't make em like this any more.
A quote from the film: "Who are you, where do you come from?" "Where do I come from?.... You"
You could say I have become a little obsessed with The Keep and have been researching the internet on information about it's release on DVD of which I'm dumbfounded to find out there isn't one at the moment!? I've also heard that the original cut was more than 3 hours long which the studio rejected at the time. I live in hope that the DVD will be released soon and that one day I will get to see it in it's entirety.
