Horror > Forsythe, William Horror

A truly brilliant horror film

Advantages: Fast, scary, fantastic soundtrack
Disadvantages: You'll have to watch it again and again

One of the best horror films i've seen. The action doesn't stop and the characters do not do the usual horror thing of making the worst possible decision that no one would ever make. As a follow up to house of a 1000 corpses, Devils Rejects is by far the better film. It stays realistic and i think there is nothing more scary than complete and utter pyschos just killing people for no good reason, rather than some stupid looking monster hunting people ...

Review of The Devil's Rejects (DVD)

Blood red and violent as hell

Advantages: Gory, troubling, difficult, acomplished
Disadvantages: If you don't like horror this ain't the film for you...

...is a light leap from the original. The first film was filled with MTV style jump cuts, a punishing and at times banal sound track and repeated shocks. Towards the end of the film it did manage a truly strange atmosphere and was something slightly different, but overall has to been seen as a failure. All this changes with The Devil's Rejects. Based on the exploits of a twisted and violent family the film throws away much of the story from the original ...
...Basically cut in two halves, the film spends the first part establishing how violent and unpleasant the family are - and does it with a blood drenched sequence of vignettes that leave everyone cold. When I watched the film in the cinema I'd never seen so many people leave. For perhaps the first time since the seventies we see a real sense of sexual violence on the screen and it's very hard to watch. By the time the family make it to their supposed ...

Review of Scary Movie 1-4 (DVD)

Rob Zombie's Halloween

Advantages: terrifying, amazing effects
Disadvantages: unneccesary nudity

...is the directors cut edition, Halloween Uncut. Effectively the same movie, but the cover and features may differ a tad. So Rob Zombie Directs this movie, which is a re-imagining of the original story rather than another tired sequel. I liked this idea and was curious from the start. So the story goes that Michael Myers killed his family when he was a youngster, all but his baby sister. He then escapes from the assylum where he is kept, and tracks ...
...I was pretty prepared for lots of blood and guts, as in the other Haloween movies, but was hoping that, under Robs Direction, the movies could become as spine tingling as they were originally, as they had become so commercialised, slasher flicks and I was becoming more and more disappointed with them. So I tucked myself in bed with some popcorn and a big blanket, and began to watch. From start to finish, I couldnt take my eyes off the wonderful cinematography, ...

Review of Halloween (DVD)

Bringing Michael Back To Life!

Advantages: Score, FX, Acting, Not A Straight-forward Re-Make...
Disadvantages: Acting, Repetitive Obscenities, It Will Always Remain Inferior To The Original...

♥ Halloween ♥ The original Halloween came out over 25 years ago in 1978 and due its phenomenal success, 7 sequels followed after. With basically nowhere left for the story to go a remake or reimagining was the only way to keep the series fresh and alive. So in 2006, Rob Zombie was called upon to see whether he was up to this dangerous task. I mean, after all, the original Halloween is considered by many as the greatest horror movie of ...
...and in 2007, Rob Zombie's Halloween was released... ♥ The Movie ♥ Part remake and part reimagining, Rob Zombie's Halloween is two movies in one. The movie is almost two hours in length, the first half focussing on the childhood of Michael Myers (the series villain) and what led to him becoming what he is today. The second half being basically a re-hash of the original Halloween. In the first half, we learn of Michael's troubled life ...
