Horror > 12 years and over Horror

Confusing and ridiculous.

Advantages: Actors, set, period costumes
Disadvantages: Everything else

The storyline to this film is bizare. Basically there is an isolated village which looks to be set a hundred or so years ago, even though the film is set quite recently. The whole village is surrounded by a wood, and everyone in it believes that the wood is filled with terrible creatures who will not allow them to enter. The viewer later finds out that the whole thing is a giant lie made up by some technology hating old people in an attempt to create ...
...a no-fly zone around it. The film also tries, and fails, to perform a temporary 'the creatures are real' twist involving a mentally retarded man stealing one of the costumes and attacking a blind woman. The special effects were hit and miss, the village set and costumes were impressive, but when you saw the creatures for the first time they were quite obviously men in costumes, with their warning to the villagers being red paint on some doors in ...

Review of The Village (DVD)

Once More With Feeling- love it!!!

Advantages: funny, musical, good for anyone even if not buffy fan, brilliant acting
Disadvantages: slightly cheesy

...when watching this episode of buffy is that it is FANTASTIC! Everything works so well together. The comedy, the music, the fighting. Brilliant. I will admit that i am biased as an addicted Scooby but i feel that anyone who hasnt been won over by the Buffy series before, this will definetly hit you with the buffy bug. Who knew they could all sing. This is even one for those who want to sit in and watch a classic musical. Even though it is a part of ...
...and one of my top ten that i own. The continuing of one of the forbidden loves of all time between buffy and spike. The first fight of the loved up witches. There is something for all in this feature length episode. You dont want to miss ou on it. ...

Review of Rose Red (DVD)

There's a sting in this tale!

Advantages: Exciting, action-packed
Disadvantages: Bit too much for one film, flaws/holes in the plot

...as I had recently seen the third and first of the films, decided it was best to review them in order! Firstly a piece of advice, although I will try my absolute best not to plonk in any big spoilers here (with regard to the first film - this will be hard) I think it is best not to see this review until you've watched the first film. It should make sense, but it's always better to do things in sequence! I really enjoyed the first film, and so when ...
...- if you've not seen the first film, read this bit** Evelyn Carnahan (Rachel Weisz), the clumsy librarian and her brother, Jonathan found an unusual, star shaped item inside a tomb, decided to investigate and went on an exploring journey. On their way, they met Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser), a prisoner, who agreed to help in return for his freedom. But there were other Americans on a treasure hunt and between the two gangs they managed to awaken ...

Review of The Mummy Returns (DVD)

The Cave is a stand out film with a bit of everything going on it

Advantages: superb set of actors
Disadvantages: not enough gore there is gore just not enough for me

...this film is one of the best films is this certain type oif genre there is. its full of amazingly wonderful actors including the amazing piper perabo. this film is about a group of cave explorers, that go and explore a 13th century abbey only to find it is built over a cave leading to well noone knows thats why you have to watch the film anyway, it has freaky monsters in it that eat people that turn out to be the men at the begging of the film ...
...evolved and adapted into the climate of living in the underground cave. contains a bit of swearing. good actors. great special effects. this film leaves you on the edge of your seat all the way threw. and finishes it on a cliff hanger and you know that there will eventually be another one to follow. its a woow film from me it gets 9.3 out of 10 ...
