We begin this fifth day of the festival with a short film, HOLD YOUR FIRE (2008) by Wes Bencoter . Pictures misty breath and a heavy atmosphere are waiting for you, but not much to be put in the tooth. That said, a beautiful visual trip even more amazing on the big screen. 
BOOK OF BLOOD (2009) of John Harrison . Second Adaptation from BOOKS OF BLOOD of Clive Barker (the first being MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN of Ryuhei Kitamura) and we are served here in two new feature films. Unfortunately, even with the addition of equipment to put some meat on the bones, it does not. John Harrison, an old hand, veteran TV and especially the look of television, creating a product without a soul who dares nothing, do not mind and ends well certainly annoying. Everything revolves around a house haunted ... by boredom and the usual. Moments "scary" are all similar and telegraphed, you know: it starts with a whisper or suspect a child's voice distant and the protagonist tries to find the source to complete the sequence by jumpscare bogus leads that do no hand, being a false alarm. If done right, all right, if it's wired and repeated endlessly, unless it's going well ... In this case, if we can finally something with a time efficient, it finishes the job quickly to return as quickly as possible towards the calm, the boredom and the bland characters and agreed. Dialogues and staging complete kill enthusiasm brief. Where the climate is moved towards the end, where news is finally over, contributing ideas and a nightmarish atmosphere, but is unfortunately far too late and poorly supported by everything that has been witnessed before. Not necessarily one of the worst films adapted from Clive Barker only a by-product for the TV that is quickly forgotten after viewing longish.
THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF LITTLE DIZZLE (2009) of David Russo . A zany and inventive comedy-drama that goes in all directions, strewn with vulgar humor, to carry a touch of madness well taken. Several sequences of stop-motion animation is breathtaking with fabulous opening credits. However, delusions animation takes a lot of room and despite their success, they often stop the pace for too long which obviously breaks the mood of the film that is crazy to start each time. Well, at least the sequences are beautiful to watch. Otherwise, you end up with a charming and entertaining film with characters tinged with madness contagious adding a healthy dose of fun to the project. The humor is tasty and several jokes reach admirably and their targets for a movie where the protagonists are addicted to cookies experimental side effects of particular concern, we do not ask more than colorful entertainment.
