Reviews of 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. ...

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.

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 ...

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, ...
