Horror > Blu-ray Horror

A unique spin on old formula.

Advantages: Looks gorgeous, soundtrack is amazing, creatures are memorable.
Disadvantages: May be too dark for some.

A unique spin on the Alice in Wonderland formula, this deeply personal work from Guillermo del Toro is a wonderful mix of fantasy, horror, fairy tale and of course drama. The scenes of an innocent young girl, becoming engulfed in the politics of the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War complement the more fantastical elements as Ofelia gets visitations from a mysterious faun. Del Toro fills the screen with his imaginative richly detailed visuals and ...
...Baquero. Not since Jodie Foster's turn in Taxi Driver have I been so impressed with a young girl's mature acting skills. Hopefully its a star in the making. In the meantime we can rejoice that a filmmaker like Del Toro continues to create these original and fantastical movies. The Hobbit is looking very promising indeed. ...

Review of Pan's Labyrinth (DVD)

Saw IV

Advantages: Much blooood, cool sound effects and made so realistic
Disadvantages: Not for the weak ones...

...the main thing, in the saw 1 & 2, John only wants to play a game, and in this part, his daughter or whoever continues coz he is dieing in brain tumour. The movie ends with a shot of John's corpse lying on the bed. Through much blood, brutality and sick scenes this movie is going through. Much pain and even this is psychedelic, coz while watching this movie sometimes I was feeling something also in my leg or in my arm or in my back.... A very good ...

Review of Saw 3 (Extreme Edition) (Blu-Ray)

I... will you... my power

Advantages: Fantastic soundtrack and brilliant stunts
Disadvantages: A little far fetched

...friend of mine suggested seeing The Covenant at the cinema when it first came out I wasn't too enthusiastic but decided to go anyway. All I can say is that I'm glad I did, as the film I saw was fantastic. The energy, power but also the empathy it created was immense and the soundtrack one of the best I'd heard in a while. Looking at how others have rated the film however I think I may be on my own. Ok I have to admit that the story is a little far-fetched ...
...Personally I really enjoyed the film, I can't say it's one of my favourite ever films but it is certainly something I would watch again. The Covenant tells the story of four young students in Massachusetts, known as the Brothers of Ipswich, are joined by their sacred ancestry and powers are nearing the age, 18, where they will receive powers that are far greater than those they currently hold. The powers however come with an exceptionally high price, ...

Review of The Covenant (Blu-Ray)

Zombieland - Best Zombie Movie EVER

Advantages: Simple story, great action, awesome comedy
Disadvantages: Not great if your looking for a meaningful story

Zombieland has to be one of the best zombie based movies I have ever seen and that is comparing it to Shaun of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead and whatever other movie which includes Zombies or a representation of Zombies. This is mainly because this movie (unlike Shaun of the Dead) is funny and has entertainment value and actually kept me gripped for the full 1 hour and 20 minutes it ran for, which is another factor I love, a movie that’s short and to ...
...Possibly one of the best things about this movie is that it doesn’t have a complicated story to it, it’s all explained by a short and entertaining narration at the beginning of the film, telling you why the vast majority of people are zombies, which turns out to be because of an infected burger or something which spread as an infection, simple. The main character, whose real name we don’t find out but he is named Columbus because he is heading to ...

Review of Zombieland

New Moon Movie Review

Advantages: Eye candy lol
Disadvantages: Skipping parts of the book

As a huge fan of the book franchise i had alot of expectations about the movie. Just like the first movie Twilight. Most of these expectations were full-filled. Although i feel many important aspects of the book weren't included, new scenes were added and others just left short. With most fans of the books, they generally enjoy the film and of course enjoy the actors who portray them lol. I have to agree, yes alot of the book was missed out, Bella's ...
...is skipped. But then general gaining of friendship with Jacob is shown. If you've read the books you'd see it as very fast passed skipping through the chapters. If you havent read the books, give the movie a chance Overall i did really enjoy the movie, even the slight over-acting of Jacobs character. 7/10 ...
