Horror > 1968 Horror

It's like a friday night down my local

Advantages: great all round entertaining movie
Disadvantages: none really... (apart from one or two 'iffy' scenes)

...Romero's night of the living dead… and with a rather good little twist of a finale it is sure to be a great movie to watch… If you do want to get a copy of this then you can get one from amazon.co.uk for as less than £6.00. ...

Review of Night Of The Living Dead (DVD)

Run, The Zombies

Advantages: Influential and a great watch.
Disadvantages: Dated there are better zombie movies out there these days.

I doubt that when George A. Romero first created this b-movie on a budget of just $114,000, he realised it would become the inspiring and classic film it is today. Now seen as a semi-cult classic it is the king of the horror b-movies. Although it wasn't the first ever zombie movie, previous films such as Victor Halperin's White Zombie, were based on living people been controlled by a voodoo witch and were mainly set in the Carribean. Romero brought ...
...they are in todays modern cinema. With this film an entire new horror sub genre was created and Romero revealed how powerful exploitation was by setting the film in very ordinary circumstances. When the film was first released however, it was dismissed because of the graphic scenes and the gore. However, since then it has seen many imitators including The Evil Dead and 28 Days Later and has been parodied by films such as Shaun Of The Dead as well ...

The Night of the Living Dead. Muhahaha

Advantages: I want this to happen to me. IT'S FREE
Disadvantages: The woman's acting is really crap the rest were fine though

...THIS DVD I FOUND OUT THE COPYRIGHT FOR IT IS OUT-OF-DATE OR SOMETHNG AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT LEGALLY FOR FREE. So this is one of the original Zombie flicks. It's made in the days when zombies were zombies slow walking and murderous and a bit stupid. Not like todays versions were zombies are running all over the show making us Livies look really unfit. It's all that fruit and fibre people are eating it's affecting their afterlife and all. The plot ...
...attacked by a zombie and the brother gets killed. She runs away and into this abandoned house were she meets this otehr guy whose also running from zombies. He boards up the house whilst she gets on like a wee whinging cow avoiding doing any work and then they find out some people are holding out in the basement. They then try and survive and escape etc. The main charcter Ben is great and does exactly what you want him to do (you'll see whatI mean ...

Uncut and unsophisticated!

Advantages: uncut
Disadvantages: Poor

...from his audience. Hours later, the tricks become horrific reality, in this Twilight Zone-style twisted tale from Herschell Gordon Lewis (BLOOD FEAST; 2000 MANIACS). A pretty TV presenter and her news reported boyfriend invite the magician onto her show - and the magician sees this as a chance to hypnotise the nation, causing mass murder! THE WIZARD OF GORE is enjoyable hokum, and gets away with its lousy acting and plasticine-type FX work due ...
...be said that whenever the wizard is not on stage the film tends to sag, and is therefore wildly uneven. Fortunately, there's enough grisly set pieces at regular intervals to keep things interesting. Just. It is, in other words, typical Herschell Gordon Lewis fare. But as dubiously enjoyable as that may be, Lewis never reaches the heady heights (lows?!) of his BLOOD FEAST films in this outing. In fact, the main point of interest in THE WIZARD OF GORE ...

Review of The Wizard Of Gore (DVD)

Bergman Gets Creepy!

Advantages: art film, foreign classic, horror, symbolism, haunting, posession
Disadvantages: none

There is nothing on earth more perfect than an Ingmar Bergman film, and this one is certainly NO exception. If anything, I'd say this is one of the best films in his whole catalog. Certainly a beautiful introductory film into the wonderful, artistic, delicious world of Bergman films. In film school you are quickly introduced to him through his major cinematic classics like "The Seventh Seal," "Cries and Whispers," "The Virgin Spring," and my personal ...
...forever when he appeared in the 40s with his first movies. What some film students and lovers of foreign cinema might miss are smaller, lesser-known films like this one. Thankfully MGM released a box set of some of the Bergman films he made during his "down time" and his "exile years," (you know, when Bergman decided he hated Sweden and moved to Germany in protest, made a couple movies that were nowhere near his normal style, and then moved home?) ...
