Tower Block - The residents of an almost deserted tower block are targeted by a sniper.This was disappointing,the tone was rather uneven,the characters were a collection of lazy stereotypes prone to making extremely poor decisions and the plot is riddled with holes. 4/10
The Squad - A squad of Columbian soldiers are sent to investigate when contact is lost with an isolated army base.This initially does a good job of building mood,but after a promising opening nothing much happens,at least not enough to keep me interested. 5/10
V/H/S 2 - I enjoyed this for the most part,as with its predecessor the quality of both the stories and acting varies,that said I found it all watchable.The standout sections for me were "Safe Haven" and "A Ride in the Park".A Ride in the Park offers an unusual POV of a zombie outbreak,which worked really well for me.Safe Haven features an Indonisian documentary film crew who visit a cult commune to interview it's oddball leader.All hell breaks loose shortly after the film crew arrive as the true nature of the cult is revealed.Boasting some genuinely unsettling scenes and gruesome images,this was my clear favourite,although it was almost derailed right at the end by a dodgy looking goat ! 7/10
