   Human Lanterns

   Are you in the mood for fear? Horror? Then join us for this spooktober episode as we hang up the Human Lanterns! Shaw Bro.’s 1982 martial arts murder movie stars a delightfully deranged serial-skinning star Lo Lieh, and smarmy pretty-boy Tony Liu, featuring the irrepressible moustache of Shaw alumni Chen Kuan-Tai. What starts as a tale of one-upping your neighbour turns sour as it delves into the absurdity of body horror. Lo Lieh is at his creepiest best tearing large strips of flesh and marvelling at how they will look on his HUMAN LANTERNS! (mmm a mole)

   Ghost in the Cell

   The Asian Action Cast gets locked up with a Ghost in the Cell in 2026! Joko Anwar’s Indonesian horror comedy ("horredy"?) ticks all the boxes in delivering a gorefest of creative killings while ratcheting up the tension, and the comedy too, in one of the year's most satisfying action flicks. Delivered by a masterful and confident story teller, this movie follows the exploits of a vengeful spirit linked to innocent journalist Dimas, unleashed in a corrupt Indonesian prison. Whilst it is an allegory for political corruption, Joko cleverly never lets this gets in the way of showing a good time. Truly another gem to come out of Indonesia there are some laugh out loud moments, as well as horror exclamations as we clawed our way out of the blood spattered walls of the jail. A wonderfully thrilling good time. They knew what they were doing and did it well – so check it out.

   Maria

   Pedring Lopez’s 2019 Netflix action thriller, Maria, brings Filipino actress Cristine Reyes to the Streaming Screen as trained assassin MARIA! She thought she left that life behind, but the sins of the past never remain dead for long. Cristine Reyes proves she can be a strong, sexy lead with the physicality and agility to be a bona fide action hero, unfortunately Maria is held back by a derivative plot, pedestrian performances and inconsistent pacing. Despite the issues this movie does have its enjoyable moments and is in no way a disgrace to action films or Filipino cinema. It is a little piece of action junk food and clocks in at a very digestable 90 minutes, so why not? Can you feel sympathy for evil henchmen? What's the "proper" way to eat rice? Would you allow your child to sit in the middle seat of your car? How come everyone in this film is so damn attractive? Join us and find out.
