Review of The Fog (DVD)

The perfect modulation of Horror and Comedy.

Advantages: Improves on the original is nearly everyway. Bruce Campbell is the man!. A trumendous blend of genres.
Disadvantages: Your mother might not like it...

...plaudits and cult status THE EVIL DEAD gained after it's release way back in 1981 it was certainly not a movie for everyone (your mom for example). So the movie wasn't exactly a blockbuster and Sam Raimi was still stuck making low budget flicks. So when the studio decided to give him the modest sum of 3 million dollars to make EVIL DEAD 2 he chose to make it less gory and more humorous. An idea that worked surprisingly well, not only did it take ...
...it is common misconception that EVIL DEAD 2 is a remake of THE EVIL DEAD. The truth is that this is indeed a sequel but because Raimi couldn't get the right's to show a re-cap of the first film he shot a simplified 5 minute version of the whole of the first movie and stuck it at the front of this one. Instead of Ash (Campbell) and his 3 friend's, it's just him and his girlfriend Laura who show up at the start of the film. Laura is possessed and attacks ...

Review of Evil Dead 2 (DVD)

Where wolf?

Advantages: Lycanthropy
Disadvantages: Takes a while to get started

This film is the journey of a news reporter, Karen White (played by Dee Wallace) who goes hunting for a serial killer, Eddie Qvist (Robert Picardo) and gets dragged into something much deeper. After the killer is shot and killed by a police officer she is sent to a retreat in the countryside called "The Colony", run by a pyschologist who unbeknown to her is a werewolf (or Lycan, depending on what kind of film you have seen) There's only two ways ...
...this movie. Thought on the film: It takes around 40 minutes before it really gets started, so it can drag at first, but the last half is pretty good as Lycan films go. The werewolves are fairly realistic, with them not being made to look perfect, more twisted and dishevelled. Music: A bit eerie at times, but nothing of note in the film. Acting: Surprisingly good considering a fairly no-name cast. Things I've learned from this film: 1. In times ...

Review of The Howling (Special Edition) (DVD)

Creepy as Hell

Advantages: Superb musical score, hugely atmospheric, powerfully unsettling, simple but effective plot
Disadvantages: None

...of tension and suspense. In the hands of a lesser director, The Fog would have been just another generic horror film, (see the execrable 2005 remake if you don't believe me) but Carpenter instead manages to create an oppressive and unsettling film with his mix of eerily-lit shots, brooding off-screen menace and his trademark pulsing synths that ebb and flow throughout, gradually building up anxiety in the viewer on an almost subconscious level. The ...
...beacon and driving it onto the rocks, causing crew to drown before plundering the ship of gold and using it to establish the town. The local church houses a huge gold crucifix fashioned from the supposedly ill-gotten gold, and its curator, Father Malone, is a descendent to the head conspirator and town founder. On the hundredth anniversary of the shipwrecking a strange luminous fog begins to envelop the town, and strange figures with glowing eyes ...

...as the "Death Note". The Death Note's instructions claim that if a person's name is written within it while picturing that person's face, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, he realizes that the Death Note is real.
