But talking of weird, one Halloween evening, a few years ago, lay on the sofa drifting in and out of sleep with a co-codamol and brandy mix in my system. This old black and white film documentary came on the TV which weirded me out! So much so that I now watch it every Halloween after having a brandy or two. It's never quite hit the heights of that first weird Halloween night, but it still, well, weirds me out every time.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 1922 masterpiece
Haxan: Witchcraft Through The Ages
For all its serious flaws it felt like a proper grown up movie and I’m very pleased to have seen it. 8.5/10.

I’m not much of a fan of action movies but I like all the detail in this, the secondary characters, his OCD,etc. I hope the sequel has all that and isn’t just some horrendous shoot fest.
I am Dragon. Russian fantasy film with subs, pretty obvious plot really but quite a good looking film.
The Way Back. More adventures in Russia, this time the supposed tale of survival of prisoners walking from Siberia. Standard long walk to freedom film.
Days of Thunder. (My wife’s choice this one). Tony Scott and Tom Cruise building up to a formula that peaked with Top Gun. Haven’t seen this in years, and as Disney’s Cars is a favourite of my boys I kept expecting Tom would end up having to resurface a road in a forgotten town somewhere.
Creep (2014) - excellent found footage flick 8.5/10
am too lazy to explain what they’re about...just watch them, you won’t regret it
Suspiria (the remake)
Lords of Chaos
Dragged Across Concrete
Thunder Road
May the Devil Take You

The plot is different and easier to follow - but not in a dumbed-down Hollywood kind of way - and they've gone the opposite of the original's wildly colourful look by setting it in a drab, dreary looking 1970s East Berlin (adding in some political references to that period).
They've also increased the significance of the dance academy setting and there is quite a lot of actual dancing, which (surprisingly) works extremely well.
I'm not sure everyone will like it, but it's well worth seeing even if you end up hating it!
