Films seen in July
Note – I’ve tried time and time again to offer
up brief reviews of every film I watch, which by now I have to confess is an
impossible chore for me stay on top of. To keep myself somewhat dedicated to
this site, I’m going to at least try to offer reviews of all the recent
films I see. So anything I see made within the last 3 years, plan on finding
a review in this log.

02. Return of the Living Dead Part
III (1993, USA) Brian Yuzna -
a must see
(Apparently the R1 DVD is cut, eliminating a
half dozen or so shots of gore, and amounting to just under 1 minute of screen
time. Even though I find this censorship atrocious, it did not take away from
my viewing in the least. The more I see of his work, the more I feel that Yuzna
is a major talent in B-film making. Let’s give this guy a Masters of Horror
episode already…)
