A Night well spent

Advantages: Great setting, FX and thrills
Disadvantages: Weak plot

After a silly cartoonish opening credit medley we meet a group of teens who are about to break into an old funeral party for one killer Halloween party. Angela, the hostess, decides they play a few Halloween games. They all sit around a mirror, and say an ancient chant which is supposed to flash an image of their former lives onto the mirror. When a battered bloody head pops onto the mirror, the kids know something is wrong, dead wrong. They have ...
...Powell is the first to be infected by the demons, and she becomes possessed and blood hungry. From here on the demon is passed around, and the intent is to kill. Yeah so the plot is slim to none. But this is a film in spite of its lack of plot, or any redeeming factor, that I enjoyed. Its got original thrills, some great special effects, and a good setting. Although the acting is nothing to rave about, and some parts are just sickening, such as a ...

Let The Symphony Of Slaughter Begin

Advantages: Great release of a little seen movie
Disadvantages: Not the best Deodato movie, not overly gory either

...in different forms. The Phantom Of Death Straight on to Shameless' second DVD release a little known movie called The Phantom Of Death AKA Off Balance (Un Delitto Poco Comune as its known in its native Italy). Scarcely seen in the UK on its release back in 1988 to some degree this is the first proper release the movie has had in UK shores. Piano virtuoso Robert Dominici (Michael York) is much loved and famous face in Italy, but when his girlfriend ...
...guess you would classify The Phantom Of Death as Giallo, but unlike most its blatantly apparent whom the killer is in this movie. York as Dominici is a man troubled by a rare illness that causes him to age heavily and beyond his ears, so as the movie progresses we see him age from his mid thirties to a ninety year old man, obviously a little bit annoyed he takes his anger out on people that bother him; although beyond that there is not a great deal ...

Review of Paranormal Activity

PMS Can Be A Devil

Advantages: Disturbing, chilling atmosphere
Disadvantages: Not all it's cracked up to be; terrible special effects, some laughable bits

...beginning to drastically differ from the sweet young girl she once was. When doctors examine Regan they find that she turns violent and screams profanities at them which she has never done before. Doctors decide that a physiatrist may be the best option for Regan, but when all else fails Regan’s Mother is forced to turn to the church… I wasn’t around when The Exorcist was first released back in 1973 but have heard numerous things about the film ...
...to watch the film but have always been hesitant due to all the harrowing things I’ve heard about it. The film has been named ‘The Scariest Film Of All Time’… fitting? I still don’t know. I have heard about people committing suicide after seeing the film but curiosity got the better of me and surely 36 years after it’s initial release the film wouldn’t be able to achieve the same shock factor would it? That I can’t effectively answer, after seeing ...
