I managed to gather up a crowd of five for the Slasher Horror premier of Nostril Picker, unfortunately the new DVD player at Dave Short’s house looked as if it cost about £10 and couldn’t read the disc properly. Luckily, I’d brought another Vipco horror along (with secret hopes of watching both) in the form of A Blade in the Dark. I had heard good things about this film and was quite confident it wouldn’t disappoint, or destroy any of the less toughened horror viewers in attendance. Everything was looking great up until that first bit of dialogue intended as an insult.
“Female, female, you are a female”
Being a big fan of giallo, I’ve heard a lot of poor dubs in my time but this one was off the charts. Not only were the voice overs shockingly bad but the translations seemed to be word for word which sounded ridiculous in English.
The plot was interesting (apart from the shit ending) and the cinematography was really attractive but on this occasion, I couldn’t see past the dubs. I was feeling self conscious, worried everyone hated the film I had dragged them out to watch; it ruined it for me.
I printed off some more horror templates for yesterdays viewing. I have scanned them in but some of the handwriting is barely legible so click on the image for a close up.
Here’s mine and a ridiculous picture:
Here's Sam's, he didn't write too much but made up for it with his artwork:
SP's sountrack loving write up (left). Tom didn't really write anything but a picture can speak a thousand words (right).
