Parasomnia - it wasn't bad I guess, could've done with a bit more polish but was interesting enough and had it's fair share of gore even if it had very few decent scares. Jeffrey Combs plays a detective chasing a superhypnotic killer and there's sleeping beauty type action, think I saw a John Landis cameo too.

Full Battle Rattle was better - a documentary about a training base in the Mojave desert where US soldiers are put through an amazingly sophisticated simulation of Iraq. Pretty interesting stuff, the commander at the start came across as a fairly intelligent & decent sort of guy but came up well short when dealing with the complexities of the situations they faced. The best parts of the film were about the Iraqi-Americans who lived and worked in the "villages" and their experiences of living far from home in a mockup of their former country, it's a shame that the film makers didn't take more time to explore the whole thing from their point of view.

Tattoo, a German serial killer flick was not bad, can't say I'd rave about it but it's worth a look. Weird story though - are there really people who collect skinned tattoos ? Just a shame the characters were a bit predictable, guess that's way I kept thinking of Jar City.

From Beyond The Grave, a British portmanteau of horror stories was great fun. Particulary enjoyed the Elemental story. There's a few of these Amicus collections around so I'm gonna have to try and look out a few more. Watched a couple of Alfred Hitchcock Presents too from the 50's and they were great.
