One frightened night 1935

Starring: Charles Grapewin

Relatives assemble in a spooky house in the hope of inheriting an old man's wealth

So grainy and dated now that it wasn't easy to watch. This was about as frightening as a soggy tissue and as suspenseful as an episode of 'Murder she wrote'. The occasional moment was okay & they did try to include a little humour. 3/10

I don't want to be born 1975

Starring: Joan Collins

An ex-stripper gives birth to a monstrous baby which goes on a murderous rampage.

Deeply unpleasant horror movie with constant baby screaming, unpleasant scenes and an exorcism. Quite what Joan Collins, Ralph Bates & Donald Pleasence were thinking about is beyond me. Collins at lease gave a solid performance, it was 5 minutes into the film before I realised that Bates was trying to do an Italian accent - Why not hire an Italian actor!! Nostalgic views of 1970's London was the only interest. 3/10
