Against all odds...amazing

Advantages: Inventive, scary, fantastic performances, quality directing.
Disadvantages: not very widely appealing

...Cronenberg and other Canadian minds. Ginger Snaps proves John Fawcett's ability in the field, as each of the 3 films is not only scary, but interesting, well scripted and works incredibly on the low budget and B-Movie set-up. Ginger Snaps Back was an attempt to keep the series from going stale. The first sequel, GS: Unleashed, was very successful in dropping the gothic style of the original and working with a whole new atmosphere within the same ...
...setting and comic book set-up, Ginger Snaps Back decided to work more on the mythical aspects of the werewolf legend. The revolutionary approach in the modern setting of the 'curse' being a metaphor for menstruation and puberty, and also that it was transfered as an STD, meant that GS1 was quite groundbreaking in terms of the werewolf genre. This movie actually takes back this approach and works with legend, as the two characters seem to be fated ...

This Didn't Shiver My Timbers

Advantages: Raised one or two smiles, and had a decent rock soundtrack.
Disadvantages: Recycled plot, poor acting and too many flaws.

B movies are well known for there over the top acting, shoddy camera work and often nudity. My reasons for renting this however stems from my fascination with anything pirate related. Having hugely enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean, Hook, and Peter Pan, I wanted to see how this would play out. I will tell you now that it certainly didn't shiver my timbers! * Plot * Celebrating leaving school, six teenagers go town to the beach and set up camp for ...

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 ...
