Stephen was not King for this minimum underdrive

Advantages: Hmmmm, doe's have a few 'moments..?
Disadvantages: bad plot, bad ending, dodgy acting

Director: Stephen King Producer: Martha Schumacher Writer: Stephen King Stars: Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, Laura Harrington, J.C. Quinn, Christopher Murney Music performed by AC/DC Note: this is a review on the movie only, mainly because I watched this on VHS video and there are no extras on the video, although there may be some on the DVD release. Originally released in the summer of 1986 this 97 minute sci-fi action movie follows the ...
...was a big fan of Stephen King’s novels, enjoying some of the movie adaptations as well, although not as good as the books I thought. But anyway, as King had wrote this strange sounding plot I wanted to see it when it first came out. Unfortunately, little did I realise that King was as good at directing as Sumo wrestler is at Lap Dancing, the result being more comical than horrific, a massive anti-climax for all King’s fans who expected that gripping ...

Review of Maximum Overdrive (DVD)

Every Breath You Take......

Advantages: Three virtually unknown stories
Disadvantages: Tired 21 years on

...for consideration due to costs. Cat's Eye is a series of stories linked by one cat. The individual stories were taken from a book of short stories called Nightshift. Cat's Eye is not only an airing of some of King's lesser known work but a tribute to his achievements also. As the movie begins a cat is prowling the streets of suburbia, before finding it's first home the cat encounters Cujo a rabid St Bernard from the movie and book of the same name; ...
...When I first saw Cat's Eye some 20 years ago I was very impressed; I liked the way the movie played a continuous homage to Stephen King; while making three short tales into something big. And believe me this movie in terms of scales is BIG! The trouble being that 20 years on being a little older and wiser this now looks quite sad and stayed. The most impressive story Quitters Inc. is by far still a superior piece. But the later two seem a bit sad ...

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 ...
