Disadvantages: Simple characters

...plans and head to the hostel recommended by Alex in Slovakia. On the train the next day the trio meet a German business man who confirms Alex’s claims about the beautiful women who love sex and American men.

Review of Hostel (Unseen Edition) (DVD)

He's Behind You... Again!

Advantages: Funny, scary at times, tension
Disadvantages: Lacks the atmosphere the first film had, unintetionally funny, becomes a bit silly

...crazed Michael Myers did on Halloween of 1978, after trying to kill teenager Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) he seemingly met his end after being shot by his doctor (Donald Pleasance). However when Michael is nowhere to be seen it would seem that Halloween is far from over for Laurie and Doctor Loomis. Laurie is rushed to hospital after her ordeal with Michael whilst Doctor Loomis continues on in his hunt for Michael before more people are made ...
...her at the hospital… Halloween II is a direct sequel to 1978’s Halloween. Halloween II was released in 1981 but was set on the same night back in 1978 straight after Michael is shot. You’d think that three years on there might be some continuity issues but it seemed to me as though Rick Rosenthal had got everything right in this film, even it’s star Jamie Lee Curtis didn’t look as though she’d aged more than a day. If you’re planning on watching ...

Review of Halloween 2 (DVD)

The original and best version!

Advantages: Good zombie movie with interesting ideas
Disadvantages: Shows its age

This is a decent film in it's own right & stands up well against the other Romero films too. It's quite good start to the film with the fake scare before the opening credits have even rolled & a group of civilians with 1 soldier looking for survivors in what seems to be a ghost town but is full of the living dead. With the return back to the compound you see the civilians are in the minority in an underground military bunker where research is being ...
...There is definitely a big divide between the military & the civilians & quite a lot of animosity and frayed nerves of those living on the edge. Despite it's age this film still looks good, the effects stand up to close scrutiny. The script & acting aren't fantastic, the people playing the soldiers all over-act like crazy playing their characters to the extreme. The scares are still good but not much more. Captain Rhodes is insane with power & his ...

Review of Day Of The Dead (DVD)

This one made me feel dirty

Advantages: It's over fairly quickly
Disadvantages: Hammy acting, depressing, torture porn

...just become depressing and uncomfortable. Hostel 2 falls neatly into the latter category. I could write a detailed plot synopsis like I usually do in my reviews, but what it boils down to is this - three young American women travel to Prague, get abducted and tortured to death in a variety of gory ways by people who have paid for the pleasure. That's it, really. There are no subtle plot twists, no symbolism, no allegory, nothing. It's just people ...
...loving detail. You can almost imagine director Eli Roth jerking off during the literal blood bath scene. I'm not really a fan of this brand of horror (I have similar feelings towards the later Saw movies) so I suppose this one was never going to get high marks from me. It's not because I'm particularly squemish (I think gore and nudity have a place in any good horror film) but honestly, I just don't find anything entertaining about this movie. It's ...
