DAY OF THE DEAD (1986)

Certification18 Our Rating

The third part of Romero's zombie triology. A bigger budget than the other two and featuring state of the art zombies. A small bunch of survivors are holed up in a bunker with their hopes resting on a small group of scientists experimenting on the zombies. Tense rather than terrifying, and with a black comic undercurrent, it rests on the bleak observation that, zombies or no zombies, chances are that we, the living, will tear each other apart. Not for the faint hearted. find out more...

DEATH WISH (1974)

Certification18 Our Rating

The morally vacuous tale of an architect who goes on a gun-happy vigilante mission after his wife is murdered and his daughter assaulted to the point of catatonia (by a very sleazy looking Jeff Goldblum in his first screen role). Stalking the dark and dingy streets of a New York, where every shadowy corner hides a low-life punk willing to kill you for your loose change, Bronson dispenses his own inimitable brand of justice. Despite its age 'Death Wish' still has the power to pack a punch and its find out more...

DELIVERANCE (1972)

Certification18 Our Rating

One of the best suspense thrillers ever made - often imitated and rarely bettered. It's of the intrepid city adventurers up against in-bred redneck natives mould and the rednecks have the natural advantage, being both horribly cruel and at home in the woods. For anyone who enjoyed "Southern Comfort". find out more...
