Halloween lurches closer each time the sun sets below the horizon. You can rest assured that the Fridae Movie Club will sink its fangs into B-grade, trashy horror flicks in the coming weeks even as we feature other more regular movie fare.

Our pick for the week is the French arthouse film It Begins With the End. Just like 500 Days of Summer, this film covers a romantic relationship from beginning to end and tells it in seemingly random, non-linear order. Since it's French, of course the story is told with lots of passion and style.

Cop buddy drama gets the steadycam treatment with End of Watch, where Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena are car patrol cops assigned to one of the toughest, most violent, criminal-ridden neighbourhoods of Los Angeles. Those who with a fetish for uniformed services and online fragging might be compelled to check it out.

Despite its preposterous premise (sharks and shoppers trapped in a supermarket after a tsunami!) and the unintentional humour arising from a script with too many writing teams, Bait 3D is a rare non-comic horror film. The draw of the film? Sharks eating people!

Till next week,
