Breeders

Advantages: The alien, the acting, the college girls
Disadvantages: None really

Breeders is your basic mid budgeted alien DVD. There are the usual sterotypical characters from the good looking, sensitive, blond haired professer with the nerdy glasses to the no nonsence hardman cop. That may make the film sound cheesy and bad but the acting is really quite good. This goes hand in hand with the script which is also really well done and doesn't make the mistake of adding bad jokes throughout. Instead it sticks to it's genre and ...
...that you could fit into the "main" catergory but that just leaves more for the alien to kill. The story is simple; a meteor crashes to Earth outside of an all girls college, it leaves a strange blue rock and people start to experience strange happenings around the college. That's basically it, without giving away the ending, the writer(s) have made the simple story work. The Alien itself is really well made. It is much more effective than any expensive ...

3 Classic Horror Movies from the Past

Advantages: Engaging Story Lines
Disadvantages: Lack of special effects due to production period

...the genre of horror, these 3 classics can bring enjoyment to all those that appreciate horror of high quality. With the use of compelling storylines and gruesome images, the viewer is left always anxious at what would come next - that's how true horror began to develop. Through these elements, those who watch it forget the fanciful special effects that present day cinema offers and is taken in by this collection's creative brilliance. All 3 movies ...
...plot lines and cinematic professionalism. "Little Shop of Horrors" focusses more on the "horrible" part of horror movies, whereas "The Bat" proves as having more of a psychological effect on the viewers. "The Bride of the Monster" is for all those who are interested in the horror genre as a whole - one of the movies that inspired future horror producers. ...

2 out of 3 ain't bad

Advantages: A Bucket of Blood and House on Haunted Hill
Disadvantages: The Ghoul

A Bucket of Blood is one of my favourite classics. An enjoyable 'Wax Museum' genre that takes a slightly different approach. This time, the artist is actually very slow witted and has no talent, as you will see. He works at a coffee shop full of poets and art buffs and wants so desperately to join their world. So, one thing leads to another, and, if your familiar with the genre, you know how it goes. House on Haunted Hill is one of the great classics ...
...horror or is it murder-mystery. To answer that question, i would have to spoil it. So, watch and find out for yourself, you won't be dissappointed. Unfortunately, The Ghoul is probably one of Karloff's worst. Karloff is one of my favourites, but he doesn't really act in this one. The story is very slow, and doesn't build up to anything all that shocking. Just some ancient Egyptian Mummy curse, some rich guy trying to be immortal. Nothing I haven't ...

...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.
