Episode 234: Restart the Earth, Boon, Little Bone Lodge, 1915 - Legend of the Gurkhas, The Resurrection of Charles Manson, Killer Kites, Jo, Revenge of the Green Dragons

This week Mike, Rich, Steve and Will take a look at six new films...

RESTART THE EARTH (Dazzler) is a Chinese blockbuster set after plants have become sentient and taken over the world - its certainly not The Happening!

BOON (101 Films) is an old fashioned and familiar tale about a stoic loner trying to keep out of trouble but who comes to the aid of a woman in need. 

LITTLE BONE LODGE (Signature Entertainment) is a neat little thriller where a couple of crooks end up at a strange farm.

1915: LEGEND OF THE GURKHAS (High Fliers Films) is low budget dramatisation set during the First World War...

THE RESURRECTION OF CHARLES MANSON (The Movie Partnership) involves a young couple visiting a remote cabin in the desert, where not everything is as it seems....

KILLER KITES (Film Hub) may be the lowest budget film we've EVER reviewed and we kind of love it.

 

Our Short Shot is JO, a revenge western directed by the excellent Katherine Hughes, who also directed Happy Mart, which we covered in episode 232.

 

Our DTV Throwback is REVENGE OF THE GREEN DRAGONS - this is a period set, Asian gangs in New York story - no wonder it was co-produced by Martin Scorcese! This can be found free to stream (with ads ) on PLEX - click the link!
