More Atmosphere Than Modern Horror

Advantages: Really challenging psychologically
Disadvantages: No special features

...the pleasure park…… Carnival Of Souls is 45 years old (at the time of writing) it’s shot in black and white, but unlike many other movies of the time it looks older than it actually is. The acting is edgy at best, and on initial gut instinct you cannot help but ask why the hell your watching this awful film. Watching Carnival Of Souls I can only imagine to be like I night on acid; it messes with your perception and your senses. While Mary is going ...
...psychological journey with Mary. What Carnival Of Souls lacks in special effects, and general viewing delight it doubles up in psychological terror. I can quite honestly say this is the only older horror movie that affects me in any way. Its effect time, after time, after time does not diminish; it just grows in intensity. The most alarming part of the movie is the ending! It has a very modern final end that comes at you like a bolt from the blue. ...

Review of Carnival Of Souls (DVD)

Zombieland - Best Zombie Movie EVER

Advantages: Simple story, great action, awesome comedy
Disadvantages: Not great if your looking for a meaningful story

Zombieland has to be one of the best zombie based movies I have ever seen and that is comparing it to Shaun of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead and whatever other movie which includes Zombies or a representation of Zombies. This is mainly because this movie (unlike Shaun of the Dead) is funny and has entertainment value and actually kept me gripped for the full 1 hour and 20 minutes it ran for, which is another factor I love, a movie that’s short and to ...
...Possibly one of the best things about this movie is that it doesn’t have a complicated story to it, it’s all explained by a short and entertaining narration at the beginning of the film, telling you why the vast majority of people are zombies, which turns out to be because of an infected burger or something which spread as an infection, simple. The main character, whose real name we don’t find out but he is named Columbus because he is heading to ...

Review of Zombieland

New Moon Movie Review

Advantages: Eye candy lol
Disadvantages: Skipping parts of the book

As a huge fan of the book franchise i had alot of expectations about the movie. Just like the first movie Twilight. Most of these expectations were full-filled. Although i feel many important aspects of the book weren't included, new scenes were added and others just left short. With most fans of the books, they generally enjoy the film and of course enjoy the actors who portray them lol. I have to agree, yes alot of the book was missed out, Bella's ...
...is skipped. But then general gaining of friendship with Jacob is shown. If you've read the books you'd see it as very fast passed skipping through the chapters. If you havent read the books, give the movie a chance Overall i did really enjoy the movie, even the slight over-acting of Jacobs character. 7/10 ...

Review of Twilight Saga - New Moon

So a bunch of eejits go camping, eh

Advantages: Funny at times
Disadvantages: Badly directed, nothing happens for most of film

Legal systems across the world and especially in the U.S.A. are notorious for a disproportionate amount of their criminal convictions being working-class ethnic minorities. But in this dull, baaad film we have eight young people all doing community service. They’re mostly rich, mostly white, mostly stupid and all annoying in some way. They’re being sent into the woods to clean it up over after the holiday season under the watchful eye of Ranger/wannabe-drillseargent ...
...majority of this film and by saying that I mean nothing happens for the majority of this film. Our characters all moan and are arrogant in one way or another despite being very obedient for apparently rebellious criminals. Rather than come to learn about their characters we just learn about their crimes, that are all far-fetched and also that basically that they’re all stupid. I mean the characters in this film are so stupid that it’s almost an insult ...

Review of Grizzly Park (DVD)

Anyone for a Bella sandwich with vampires and werewolves?

Advantages: Casting, FX, action scenes
Disadvantages: Drawn out romantic bits

...all, I woud suggest watching Twilight before watching this, as there will be a number of things that may seem confusing otherwise. Brief Plot Essentially, in a nutshell, Bella has moved to Forks, a desolately damp, rainy and gloomy town, to live with her father Charlie, the chief of police. She encounters Edward Cullen at her new school, they fall in love, she finds out he's a vampire. The first film saw a frantic chase and fight where other vampires ...
...the more impressive elements of Twilight was the FX adopted to show how the vampires move. The superspeed, the strength, the use of slow motion to emphasise these elements. All this is just as good, if not better, in New Moon, but is completely overshadowed by the superb FX used with the werewolves. It's the transformation element, and as the characters in their human form merge into their wolf forms, it's astounding. They do it 'on the fly', or ...
