Tremors

Advantages: Good humorous movie with a silly creature
Disadvantages: a bit sloppy on the special effects

...as the reason for the tremors around the desert are unearthed, leading to one of the weirdest creatures ever to grace our screens. The acting is a bit questionable and the special effect team need to go back to school but if you don't take the movie as a true thriller/horror, more a comedy/thriller type, then this can be an entertaining movie all round. Would I recommend this movie….? Well yes, why not… It is entertaining if a little on the silly ...

Review of Tremors (DVD)

One unlucky day!

Advantages: Gloriously gory
Disadvantages: Rubbish acting, cheesy

Crystal Lake is a truly beautiful location, with an ugly past. Several years before, a young boy died at camp while his counsellors weren't keeping an eye on him. Since then at subsequent camps, there have been a number of deaths and strange occurences, encouraging everyone to keep away from the area. Then someone decides to start the camp up again and a group of counsellors arrive to prepare the site. Unfortunately, someone doesn't seem to want ...
...picked off and killed horribly. Will any of them survive? And what have they done to incur the wrath of the killer? Good acting is not something that most horror films are famous for, and this one is really no different. With the exception of a very young Kevin Bacon, none of the other actors are well known, and this is for a reason - they really aren't that good. The actress with most screen time is Adrienne King, who plays Alice. King is wooden ...

Review of Friday The 13th (DVD)

When science goes wrong

Advantages: Outstanding CG work
Disadvantages: Basic plot, not really a horror.

Whilst many people may slate this horror movie of 2000, I personally enjoyed it- the lack of an unpredictable storyline may have marred it, but the computer graphics are breath-taking…and so, on with the review! DIRECTOR: Paul Verhoeven (‘Basic Instinct’, ‘Robocop’) SCREEN PLAY/WRITING CREDITS: Gary Scott Thompson (‘The Fast and the Furious’, ‘2 Fast 2 Furious’) Andrew W. Marlowe (‘End ...

Review of Hollow Man (DVD)

Didn't make me Tremor

Advantages: Original (At first), Funny.
Disadvantages: Repetitive, Acting.

I remember the first time i saw Tremors. I was quite young, and then i didn't see it again for years and years. Then it was on again, and i couldn't believe it. It's the type of film that does come round again every so often. The kind they show on BBC1 at about 11:40, you all know the sort im on about. ANYWAY.... start from the beginning with Tremors. *Warning contains some spoilers" *-*-*-*TREMORS*-*-*-* Running Time - 91 mins (approx.) Year ...
...Making of Tremors Featurette, Trailer, Cast and Filmmakers Biographies - Trailers come as standard as do 'making of' featurettes on most DVDs now. The production notes are interesting as it gives an insight into how a film develops through its lifetime and stages, as does the "making of" featurette. Languages - English, French, German, Italian, Spanish. Subtitles - English, French, German, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Swedish, Finnish, Dutch, ...

Review of Tremors/Tremors 2 - Aftershocks/Tremors 3 - Back To Perfection (Box Set) (DVD)

Bore Six

Advantages: Some tension synonomous with the Saw franchise, chilling music
Disadvantages: Lack of plot/ideas, very slow and tedious

...have number 6 in the Saw franchise, this has split public opinion much like John and Edward on X Factor recently, some like the films, some hate them. I too have mixed opinions on the Saw films as I loved the first four yet the fifth and sixth instalments in the series don’t match up to the ingenuity, the nail biting tension or the sheer carnage which we witness behind our hands in the first four. Since 2004 there has been a Saw film released every ...
...I personally feel like 3 Saw films would have been adequate however Saw 4 brought in another dimension to the films which seemed to relight the series and in a way was the first in another trilogy of Saw films. Bringing in a back-story for Jigsaw has become the basis of the most recent three films. Saw 4 did well in establishing the reasons behind Jigsaw’s psychopathic ways but I feel that was enough as Saw 5 brought nothing new to proceedings that ...
