A Design For Death [Film Only]

Advantages: Memorable deaths, good performances and special effects
Disadvantages: Some dodgy dialogue, a few inconsistencies

...explodes. Their trip to the final destination delayed but not terminated - as the teenagers find out, there is no cheating death. The opening scene at the airport is effective, and ensures Final Destination won't be shown as flight entertainment. The deaths are well executed (if you'll excuse the pun). If it's not the thought behind them - which will get the guessing games going - then it's the timing that can catch you out. However, there is inconsistency ...
...stuff thrown around already. Final Destination is strong in the special effects department. Computer trickery can be evident, but it's not as if these effects stand out like a sore thumb. It's not entirely the works of computers however, and when something is evidently fake, there is humour with horror - something which the film manages to mix successfully on more than this one occasion. Despite being set in New York, there are a couple of clues, ...

Better than the first?

Advantages: It's so amazingly sexy
Disadvantages: The pregnant lady annoys me =P

...which I like better between Final Destination 2 and the original. I LOVE ALL the Final Destination movies, for many reasons. One, I adore horror movies! They entertain me the most. I can sit and watch horror movies such as Saw and such and laugh as people get tortured and die, its brilliant! Its so thrilling! The thing I love the most about the Final Destination series is that the creators seem to share the same sense of humor as me! I love it; it's ...
...all jokingly. In regards to Final Destination 2, I really enjoy the way everybody seems to connect to the victims of the first movie. And of course, Clear Rivers is present too. This kind of connection isn't apparent in the third and fourth movies, which makes them a little less interesting. If you have a sick sense of humor like me, go ahead and watch this. But I suggest watching the first one first! Yum, dead people. Delicious. Sorry, did I say ...

As weak as the water its named after

Advantages: Jamie Lee Curtis looking hot
Disadvantages: the silly plot

Basically the plot is set in a school where Laurie Strode works and her son is also a pupil there, the whole school goes off to a camp but the son, his girlfriend, best friend and his girlfriend sneak away to stay behind inside the school leaving the school empty apart from them 5 and LL Cool J playing the security guard and token black guy to be terrorized by Myers. Why did Jamie Lee Curtis agree to be in this? She was good in number 1, whereas ...
...Lot's of things don't make sense. Like how Myers found her if she changed her name (to Keri Tate)? Was she still in Haddonfield? How does Myers get out of the bodybag? Those things really aren't designed to be opened from the inside. Why does no-one EVER shoot him in the head? It's just a huge spit on the 1st film. Each version getting gradually worse. Some of the action sequences are half decent, even the little nod to the film Aliens where Curtis ...

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Freddys home!

Advantages: Wes Craven returned to save the day
Disadvantages: Freddy started to get cheesier

***Why watched A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors*** I originally first watched this A Nightmare in Elm Street 1, and like many other people out there I thoroughly enjoyed the film. The second film was released the following year, but unfortunately the film sucked and put me off watching any more sequels. This film was introduced in 1987 (3 years after the first), but still not long enough for me to forget awful the last one was. For once ...
...do, so I gave it a go. ***The cast*** Patricia Arquette as Kristin Parker Ken Sagoes as Kincaid Rodney Eastman as Joey Jennifer Rubin as Taryn Bradley Gregg as Phillip Ira Heiden as Will Penelope Sudrow as Jennifer Heather Langenkamp as Heather Craig Wasson as Neil Laurence Fishburne as Max Robert Englund as Freddie Krueger ***The plot*** The story kicks of 1 year after the second film (which is 6 years after the first film) with teenager Kristin ...

He was born with a gift allowing him to see the world as it really is. He can move between realities with his knowledge of the occult and in one instance, a cat, they apparently live half in this world and half in hell.
