Cockney vs Zombies (2012)

Film two of #Junesploitation and this wasn’t my first choice but I think Sean of the Dead would have been way too obvious.

Though this did have a similar scene to the pub scene and the guts being picked out of the belly of a character.

Loved the vulture right at the start, let you know the level of seriousness this was going to be taken at, though the title should have been enough.

Geezers, a heist, knees up, guns, and high-speed zimmer frame exploits, this had it all, even Chas and Dave.

It even had a few Carry On moments harking back to the time most of the older actors were making most of their work.

Full of Cockney stalwarts and British up and coming, I really hope everyone was having as much fun as they seemed to.

As would be expected with a film like this the effects weren’t top notch but were good enough to carry the film all the way through.

A laugh from start to end if you’re able to go into it looking for an hour and a half of fun as that’s all this was, a nice little escape.

Watch Me When I Kill (1977)

This is my first watch in this year’s Junesploitation extravaganza!

A lot of face action going on in this twisty post-war Italian thriller, lot’s of close ups of actors emoting loudly toward the camera.

Pretty standard thriller with a couple of juicy red herrings to throw you off the trail.

Absolutely loved the taxi driver and main character shooting off in a taxi from the scene of a crime rather than staying and helping the police but then there wouldn’t have been much of a film if they hadn’t.

The Tango during the opening credits!

It wasn’t a straightforward film, especially with some of the subtitling, but it was an OK enough watch especially for a schlock film from the 70s, and those clothes brought back nightmares!

Couldn’t link the film to the title though, there was no ‘Peeping Tom’ vibe at all.

Showed Italy as a bit of a dump, all greys and muted tones, even the clothes were muted.

Another of those abrupt as hell endings which left a lot in the air really.
