The Omen Pentology (Box Set)

Advantages: Fantasically shot, great value horror package
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit too focused and gory for the casual viewer

The Omen Pentology is definately a collection of top quailty horror films with convincing acting and great inovative camera techniques. That said the pentology is probably best left to the horror fans. People curious about the genre might find it a bit too focused and perhaps should start with more approachable films such as 28 days later. The films all have a different feel and angle but together form a definate collection and I would advise that ...

28 Days Later ... the infected are here!

Advantages: Frity British horror film
Disadvantages: None

***Why I watched 28 days later*** As I true horror fan I always try to watch new film releases. Unfortunately for me my partner does not share my enthusiasm so most of the time I only end up watching the film when they are released on dvd. I love the original zombie style horrors so when I read a review about a new British post-apocalyptic horror film by director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, The Beach) I flew down to the video shop to rent it. ***The ...
...learns that during the last 28 days he has slept through the effects of the 'rage' virus. The highly contagious infection seems to have spread quickly because it is spread through blood and renders a victim helpless within seconds, leaving them as deadly killer, referred to as 'the infected'. Unable to take in recent events Jim is desperate to get home to his parents, but Selena and Mark do not want to leave the sanctury of their hideout. After deciding ...

127 minutes of your life you will never get back (Silent Hill)

Advantages: the special effects are impressive
Disadvantages: disjointed story, not scary, irritating, bad accents, overly long

Silent Hill (otherwise known as 127 minutes of your life you will never get back) is a "scary movie" staring Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean. Ugh where do I start? Well the positive is that on the back of the DVD the summary makes it sound intriguing and interesting with the potential to be a real jump out of your seats thriller. The other positive is that the high polish production and special effects really are excellent and despite my opinion of ...
...bottom of it and researches Silent Hill on t'internet.

Night Watch

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: nothing

Night Watch. The film is based around a prophecy. A prophecy of balance and that one day there will be 'one' who tips the balance and then the light or the dark will rule the earth protectors of the light fight against followers of the dark in order for control. They are supernatural beings who can enter the twilight and draw their power from there. Anton is a member of the nightwatch and it is he who will be the main character of this film. ...
...soon all hell on earth is breaking loose. Anton proves to have more power than anyone thought. The ending is as expected considering this is the first of a trilogy The special effects are very good and the plot never slackens right from the battle scenes set in 1342 right up until, well... the ending, no reveals sorry. the dialogue is in Russian with subtitles which does detract from the overall enjoyment. Apart from that this is a decent movie and ...

Read the signs

Advantages: Original
Disadvantages: Plots can be a bit confusing

I don't own this dvd but i do have this film on video. I have read many reviews saying that this film is a load of shit but i actually thought it was quite good. Written and directed by Jean-Baptiste Andrea and Fabrice Canepa, this film was released late 2003. It crosses many genres such as horror, mystery and comedy. Plot: Frank Harrington is driving his family to his mother-in-law's for Christmas. For the past 20 years he has always took the ...
...The road he ends up on seems to go on forever. There are woods on either side but they just seem to lead back on to the road. He passes the same signs over and over again. The family encounter a woman dressed in white clutching a pile of blankets in which is her baby. When she's asked how the baby is going to breathe under them, she replies "my baby's already dead". Frank and his family are going mental. The woman disappears and a mysterious carriage ...
