A Blancmange Monster Just Ain't Scary

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

The Blob is a remake of the 1950 sci-fi chiller...ermm "The Blob". It never ceases to amaze me that firstly people would want to remake a movie when there is already a perfectly good one(or bad one) sitting around somewhere, or why when they do so, they seem to choose such abysmal movies TO remake. The original 50s movie starred Steve McQueen and was a heap of campy nonsense in which a rather large 'pink jelly'(ok alien slime monster) went on the ...
...no attempt to improve upon the original in any way shape or form. The 80s saw a lot of movie makers remaking old sci-fi classics such as The Fly, The Thing(from outer space), Invasion of the Body Snatachers to name a few all of which were actually rather good movies(well with the exception of the later which was merely 'ok'). The directors here realised that the reason for remaking them was not to make a quick buck by playing on the name of an older ...

the fly

Advantages: alien transformation
Disadvantages: boring until half way through the film

i personally liked the film although it took a while to fully get in to the film. Ilike the idea of a person becoming a fly through having dna exchanged and fused together whilst trying to finally discover transportation. The film is pretty grusome at the end but if you have a strong stomach like myself then you should like this film and lastly the only bit of the film i disagree with is the exchange of a dog through the transporter then comes out ...

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 ...
