A Little Something Different
Sometimes horror movies aren't about the jump scare, the killer hunting its prey, or the gory violence. Sometimes it's about the horrors we face in our lives on a daily basis, both personally and through those around us. Relic works beautifully as a horror movie. Sure, the place is slow and as the story unfolds you don't think to expect much. You're not scared so much as waiting through most of the film. Waiting for something to happen. Waiting to see how it will unfold into this frightening moment to give you that fix of scaredness you're jonesing for. The first hour plods along, unfolding the story. Then, the final 30 minutes quickly hits you with the climactic final scenes, culminating in one of the grotesquely emotional and beautiful final scenes I've ever seen in a horror movie. And maybe that's the point. Maybe the true horrors in life aren't men In masks. Maybe the truly scarring things we face just slowly grind day to day with us as we go through our mundane, everyday lives. They're always there, in the background and the back of our minds, waiting for their moment. And, in the end, we can choose to embrace the unstoppable and unchangeable or allow it to haunt and destroy us.

Could You Cheat Death?
The Man Who Could Cheat Death- is a decent sci-fi horror flick.

The plot: Turn-of-the-century authorities search for a killer who surgically removes his victims' thyroid glands and implants them in himself to maintain his youth.

The lead role of Bonnet was originally offered to Peter Cushing, who turned it down six days before shooting started. Cushing's reason was that he was completely exhausted 'following the shooting of The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959), which had just wrapped up'. The loss of Cushing caused Hammer to threaten legal action against him. However, Cushing had not signed a final contract with Hammer, and nothing could be done, although an angry Paramount, which was partly financing and distributing the film, 'relegated to picture to the lower half of double bills in the States'.

The Man Who Could Cheat Death was granted an X-certificate by the BBFC on 8 April 1959. The X-cert meant that the film could only be exhibited to people age 16 or older. The film was cut in order to get the certificate, which allowed it to be shown in the UK, but the details of what or how much was cut are unknown.

Like i said its a decent sci-fi horror flick about a madman scitentist.
