Mountaintop Motel Massacre 1986
Made in 1983 but not released until three years later, this missed the slasher boom and frankly wasn't worth the wait. Pedestrian, little gore, devoid of tension/t&a and painfully long even at 95 minutes.

The Dark Knight Rises 2012
Neither the masterpiece nor the disaster claimed by many. The final part of Nolan's trilogy is mostly enjoyable if a little messy and overblown.

What you'll make of this faux documentary will depend on which way you approach it. If it was supposed to convince the viewer it was real, then it can't be considered a success. If it was just an experiment, it certainly is different if a little over-long and self-indulgent.

The Boogeyman 1980
One of the earlier entries in what was to become an avalanche of slashers in the early 1980s and equally as unimpressive as most of them. Whilst the supernatural angle makes it a little different, it's poorly acted and shoddily made. Even John Carradine can't save this one. Nice electro-synth score, though.

An informative and reasonably balanced look at the evolution in film-making and transition from celluloid to digital.
