    Legion

    ★★★½

    With the announcement that Legion is about to be turned into a TV show (Dominion) I thought it was time to dig out another guilty pleasure and give it another watch.

    Cannibal Holocaust

    ★★★★

    One of the most controversial films ever made, Cannibal Holocaust is still as disturbing today as it was when it was released over 30 years ago. The story is simple - an anthropologist travels deep into the jungle to find out what happened to a group of award-winning reporters who never returned from the 'Green Inferno', only to discover from their recovered footage how their dubious methods angered the native tribespeople and led to their deaths.
    The film is overshadowed…
