AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem

Advantages: These are two classic horror films which despite the lack of good acting would be a great addition
Disadvantages: its a triller cum horror film

It is the boxset of the two "Alien Vs Predator" films - and it costs near on £40 at the time because Alien Vs Predator requiem had only just been released - hopefully the price will be slightly better for you now. As a fan of both alien and predator I had high hopes on going to watch the first avp at cinema and was a little dissapointed - i also do think that many of us have seen the first part already, but believe me friends the Avp requiem is the ...
...is also another the best film- From director Paul WS Anderson's comes an inspired melt of two sci-fi horrors alien and predator. Avp Requiem - Directed by the brothers strauss who promised this would be much improved on the first - they don't make it - the plot stuggles - A Predator has an alien burst out of it and then it crash lands on Earth in smallville mid America. For some reason only one Predator leaves its home world to go to Earth to take ...

Review of AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem DVD

A Chilling Classic Reminding You That Anything Can Happen...

Advantages: Colours are richer and crisper, the music is truely UNIQUE!
Disadvantages: storyline is basic but typical of that era, movie is short lived

Wow!! The movie has been brought back to life in much clearer picture detail to tell the tale of 5 teenagers in an accidental situation of desperate survial against a cannibalistic family with a chainsaw weilding maniac in the deep south of rural Texas. (The storyline is simple,dead simple, which makes it much more realistic and easy to follow) HOT HOT HOT!- the uncomfortable heat and drieness of the Texas setting compliments the theme of desperate ...
...Burns) desperatly tries to evade the freaky chainsaw weilding psycho under the moonlight, is a horrific scene that will most certainly leave you stunned in your seats as she screams histerically through the woods with her iconic white flares glowing in the moonlight supressing her desperate attempts to hide... The rich colours of the classic film are something to be pleased about, the deep blacks, warm oranges and azur blues are very impressive ...

Review of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (DVD)

She's back!

Advantages: Some jumpy moments
Disadvantages: Extremely dull

Following on from the events in the first film, Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) and her son Aidan (David Dorfman) have now moved to a small town in order to start their life over again after the horrific events that occurred to them previously. Rachel has now got a job at a local newspaper in order to spend more time with her son however when a teenager dies in very extraordinary circumstances, Rachel feels that his death is all too familiar. That’s ...
...into Aidan… I enjoyed the first film although it was rather slow, this film however is terrible. There seems to be nothing redeemable about it. The director has tried to break away from very simple but effective premise of the first film, that being of course that after you’ve watched the video tape you’ll be dead in exactly seven days. This film has been made more complicated than that. It hardly uses the video aspect of it at all which is what ...

Review of The Ring Two (DVD)

Some torture with your room, sir?

Advantages: Visually attractive in parts, a couple of good performances, torture scenes good
Disadvantages: Could have been better

...them about an almost mythical hostel in Slovakia. There, they are told, they will be able to have anything that they can pay for. Like a shot, they get on the train and arrive, only to find that the hostel is even better than they were expecting - the room they are sharing comes complete with Eastern European beauties. The three have a great evening, full of alcohol, drugs and sex...but when Paxton and Josh wake up the next day, Oli has disappeared. ...
...that a Japanese tourist has also gone missing. Confused, the two Americans try to forget their troubles, only to find that they are in a lot more trouble than they could ever imagine... My favourite character in the film giving, in my opinion, the best performance, is Josh, played by a relative unknown (at least in the UK), Derek Richardson. Josh is a bit of a geek, albeit a very sweet one. He is definitely the sensible one of the three. Quite how ...

Rachel has 7 days to save her, her sons and Noah’s lives but with time not on her side she needs to quickly figure out the origin of the tape and why someone or something wants to kill them… I think I first watched ...
