And then while the body is twitching on the floor he cracks him a couple more times to finish the job.

It just came out of nowhere and was so brutal and horrific. Again for 1974. TCM predated Halloween, Dawn of the Dead, and Friday the 13th by at least 4 years.

Goddamnit, at least try to come up with different wording.

Saw the film Snatch for the fist time tonight. It was fun revisiting the directorial tropes and memes of late-90s cinema. The quick action cuts marked by isolated sound effects, the wonky cinematography, the comically-absurd plot, and the characters who were each dramatic characatures of themselves... it was silly but entertaining just the same. I see a lot of similarities between Guy Ritchie, Edgar Wright, and Quentin Tarantino but perhaps it was just a running trend of the decade.

Enjoyed the equally-bizarre soundtrack as well, especially "Mad Flute."

Check out Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Extremely similar to Snatch but still classic Ritchie.

Also my favourite of the two, as hard as it is to compare high grade diamonds.

Agreed. Snatch is a bit too over the top at times. The convoluted plot of LSATSB is much more brilliant IMO.

Thanks; I will. We'll be watching RocknRolla this evening.

Apparently those four years were crucial to making non-mediocre violent horror movies. Which reminds me, I need to finally finish Dawn of the Dead. And rewatch Halloween. And then check out Halloween 2. Think I might actually do a journal entry about that franchise in the near future, cause I watched Rob Zombie's two remakes last night, and they were kind of awesome for the most part. Gave me the itch to explore the series further.

I'm also a decent fan of Rob Zombie's Halloween films. Underrated if you ask me.

I don't mind them, but House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects are where it's at for Rob Zombie films.
