Devil
I saw this film on 20th September at Stratford Picture House
I could not work out why everything was shown upside down at the start and the continuing use of odd perspectives throughtout the film did not do much for me. There were some pretty scary and unexpected happenings but I found the eventually revealed plot rather disappointing with a strange morality. But over all it had lots of suspense and I have seen far worse. Almost half the audience seemed to consider attending the film more of a social occasion, a bit like going to see football on a big TV in the pub while chatting to your mates, than as a performance to watch. Surprisingly though this did not spoil the film completely. Worth going to see.

The Last Exorcism
I saw this film on 6th September at Stratford Picture House
Is the girl really possessed? Is the father a nutter, a perpetrator or with a genuine concern for his daughter? Is the son part of the cause of the goings on?
Most of the answers are revealed at the end, unfortunately the hero will never know.

The Girl Who Played with Fire
I saw this film on 30 August at Stratford Picture House
A good plot but not as complicated as the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Nor did it have scenes of rape, buggery and torture as unpleasant as in the previous film. So my impression was of a slight watering down. Although the second in the trilogy it was still excellent and shows how good Dragon Tattoo was. See it, don't wait for the DVD.
