Was very good but, to be honest, after watching the amazing documentary 'The Rescue' I'd kind of seen it all already. And actual footage, not Hollywood.

Thanks for your opinion. I was wondering if the movie would be somehow 'better' than the documentary which was excellent (even the reenactments were pretty good). I only watched The Rescue a few weeks ago so might leave the movie aside for a few months.

Yeah, I'd leave it to watch for a bit if I was you. The documentary, for me, is quite a bit better so you may be disappointed watching the movie so soon after.

Well, watched this with the LHG tonight and literally wet ourselves - great fun and thoroughly recommended! :thumb:

[EDIT] Looking forward to "Prey", but I doubt it's one for the LHG!

I thought Prey was very good. Wonderfully gory in parts. A worthy addition to the Predator franchise.

Out today, and just finished watching: Day Shift.

Was good, I enjoyed it. Action. Vampires. Gore-fest fight scenes. Comedy. Jamie Foxx. A Snoop Dogg appearance. What's not to like?

Orphan: First Kill digital release date is Friday. Time to watch (or rewatch) the excellent original movie 'Orphan' before then. A very (edit: removed the second 'very' so as not to big it up too much 😂) good horror.
