Just don't go to Slovakia.........

Advantages: Good thrills, gore and some well-developed scenes
Disadvantages: Under-developed characters, weak plot

...got a night in, but Hostel lacks a proper, solid plot or character development to ever become a 'classic.' The director, Eli Roth, concentrates too much on, 'what is the most violent, sickening way to kill someone, that I can show on screen?' He instead should be concentrating on developing his killers characters, and also developing the victims characters, in order to make the audiences feel for the killings. Still, the cinematography and special ...

Night of the Living Dead: A true classic finally on blu-ray

Advantages: A fantastic way to watch a true classic
Disadvantages: Only one extra, would have been nice to see more

Night of the Living Dead is the daddy of all zombie movies. Yes there may have been films that featured zombies before this but none came close to creating the same world that George A. Romero managed to. A film that manages to truly define the genre and has been imitated ever since. Now for many years you've probably seen countless releases of NOTLD on every format. And apart from the Elite LD and DVD release, many of them have been sub-par ...
...footage (for example the DVD release by Contender). So thankfully Optimum has decided that this classic film is worthy of a proper blu-ray edition. For a low budget, black and white film from the Sixties, this transfer is fantastic. It's very similar to the old Elite DVD but with more detail and better contrast. There is a lot more grain evident but that's to be expected. In fact I'm grateful for the fact they didn't try to digitally remove any film ...

It'll swallow your soul...

Advantages: Surprisingly good picture for such a low budget film, although age is starting to show through
Disadvantages: All the extras are the same as the previous DVD release

...be surprised how many times Evil Dead II appears on people's Top 10 lists. Hell even quite a few Top 5 lists may feature it. It might even occupy the top slot on some of those lists. The half remake/half sequel to the The Evil Dead was directed by the now very famous Sam Raimi a million years before he got his hands on Spider-Man and, perhaps unfairly, will always be seen as his masterpiece by genre fans. It wouldn't be until Drag Me To Hell ...
...release. Optimum Releasing has brought Evil Dead II to Blu-Ray as it did previously on DVD. In fact the extras on the back look very similar... Oh wait, they're the same. Of course this isn't a terrible thing, the commentary track for example is one of the funniest I've ever had the pleasure to hear. I actually like to put the film on every now and then to just listen to the track. Yes, I am that sad. The cast joke with each other and recall fond ...

There back to kill!!Beth

Advantages: great special affects-boring actors
Disadvantages: Eli Roth ruined the story

...worser movie than the original hostel because In every scene it seems that all the girls are smiling for no reason and the girls should have been hotter like classical movies where the hot girls always die. And the movie is not even that scary because the atmosphere does not provide enough scariness also Eli Roth has ruined this movie which ha the potential to be much better like he ruined the first one. Although i have to give him credit because ...
...did a good job with the special effects, because most of the death scenes look very cool and unnecessary like when a kid gets shot in the head by a man and shows a close up on the kid that got shot. Cast (Cast overview, first billed only) Lauren German ... Beth Roger Bart ... Stuart Heather Matarazzo ... Lorna Bijou Phillips ... Whitney Richard Burgi ... Todd Vera Jordanova ... Axelle Jay Hernandez ... Paxton Jordan Ladd ... Stephanie ...
