B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - GULAG (TV 1985)

This month B-Movie Gazette dives into the prison genre and who doesn't like a good prison flick? Gulag is an extremely well-produced TV movie originally made for HBO before wandering out to obscurity-land. David Keith is in top form as a sportscaster and while covering an event in Moscow is framed by the KGB. Unable to prove his innocence a prison escape is now inevitable, just how will he do it? Malcolm McDowell co-stars, this is a good one folks! 2.75 stars/2.75

FALL (2022) - SCOTT MANN'S SURVIVAL THRILLER EFFECTIVE, ENTERTAINING, ENTHRALLING - THUMBS WAY UP



Scott Mann's "Fall" is probably one of the new release films I've enjoyed the most recently. A brisk and forward-moving tale of two best friends who climb a radio tower that if you measure by feet according to the story is twice the height of the Chrysler Building. Of course they get stuck at the top but's there's lots of interesting developments along the way. I loved the use of the drone they employ to try and get rescued, for me that was what elevated this to another level. 

Sure, there's a few things that are a little far out there on the believable scale but as far as survivalist flicks go, this is a good one that brings new and interesting innovations to the genre. The special effects totally work, don't watch this if you have vertigo ha ha. Thumbs up on this one, on sale this weekend for only 9.99.     3.25 stars/5
