Edinburgh International Film Festival DAY 2


 Ross Kemp wasn't in this film but he should've been

Rabies (Israel)

Right. Imagine the most vile and really stupidest fucktard you can think of and multiply by six and here you have a horror film about a bunch of unlikable mongheads who venture off into the woods that are filled with traps and mines. It turns out that the traps have been laid down by the local psychopath, bless him, only the psychopath seems like a nice dude compared to the supposed normal folk who end up bludgeoning each other to death with whatever they can find.

It does have a few jump out your chair moments so if you have an aging relative you’d like to kill off I highly recommend bringing them along. 

Highs: A nasty cop gets what he deserved

Lows: It didn’t have Ross Kemp in it.

 
Elite Squad – The Enemy Within (Brazil)

Thriller about a bunch of really naughty Brazilian cops.

This was another one of them foreign films so it was proper annoying to read all them subtitles plus I’m a slow reader so I missed quite a bit of it. It was like a Bruce Willis film but with lots of unknown actors in it. I liked it a lot though yeah and it got quite brutal at times which is well cool. This is a sequel though and I never saw the first one but it didn’t seem to matter.

Highs: Genuinely didn’t know what was gonna happen unlike most thrillers n that.

Lows: Subtitles really get my goat
