An introduction to exploitation

Advantages: A good introduction to exploitation films and the work of Jess Franco
Disadvantages: But it might be too tame if you're already a fan of exploitation films

...two exploitation films directed by Jess Franco and released under Tartan's Grindhouse label. As such they're not masterpieces, or suitable for all tastes, but they do attract a fairly strong cult following and are definitely worth a watch if you're interested in seeing films that are a bit off the beaten path. This is apparently the second Jess Franco double bill released by Tartan although it's the only one I've seen (and was my introduction to ...
...can gather most fans of Jess Franco will just be glad to have these films on DVD and the quality is about as good as the films are ever going to get. The DVDs have next to nothing in the way of extras. Devil's Island Lovers contains approximately 30 minutes of additional and alternate scenes which made up the more sexually and violently explicit French version of the film. These scenes are of poor sound and video quality and look like they were ...

Review of Jess Franco Double Bill - Vol. 2 - Devil's Island Lovers / Night Of The Assassin (DVD)

Bargain 3 great british films

Advantages: all each have there own merits
Disadvantages: descent the weakest of the 3

...original thought put in. The "descent" based in the highlands in an uncharted underground cave a bunch of women face unkown terror of beasts that dewell beneath the ground. The women in this film are all of noticable charactistics e.g the bold strong leader (who felt an undiscovered cave would be a challenge) to the quiter but mentally strong lead charatcter. once a year they meet up for an adventure weekend were they seek a challenge and bond ...
...The film in question is strong with some good character development that helps suck you in and care which women live through the ordeal. first hour into the clastrophobic caves are jumpy and have some great tention and the beasts add a great deal of fear which make everything come together. the main problem though is when the film kicks in the camera is all over the place and you struggle to understand what is going on and who your following within ...

Review of The Descent/Dog Soldiers/28 Days Later (Box Set) (DVD)

ghost who never went to acting school.

Advantages: sometimes scarey
Disadvantages: predictable

When i watched thirteen ghosts my first thought was predictable and i could have written something similar during my dinner hour in work. Okay there were some original scenes to it but it starts off with a familiar story line of a family inheriting the house! woo thats original, and the house is home to ,wait for it, thirteen ghosts who want to be freed from their abode,[ the creepy cellar like place ]. Well where else would you expect to find them? ...
...and their intentions are not honourable. In fact they do kill some family members, but not all of them. The remaining kin discover the way to lock the door previously allowing the ghosts to escape and in return live happily ever after somewhere else!! I hope my review hasnt put you off wasting your money on purchasing a copy of this action packed [not] film. My apologies if it has???????????? ...
