The House is coming to get you

Advantages: Geoffrey Rush
Disadvantages: slightly dodgy CGI

...a night in the haunted house and come out alive will get a million dollars. This is a remake of a 1958 film, but has been vastly improved and is thoroughly more enjoyable. As with other modern Horror movies (Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer), there is plenty of dark humour to lighten up the mood of the film. There also enough twists and turns in the story along with some very scary moments which make you jump, that there should be something ...
...are plenty of surprises in House on Haunted Hill. The only real negative about the film is the ending, which succumbs to the standard Hollywood ending, rather than surprising you with something knew. The main character in the film is Stephen H. Price, played by Geoffrey Rush (Pirates of the Caribbean). His character has been based on the character played by Vincent Price in the original and Rush has done a worthy job of picking up on the look and ...

Review of House On Haunted Hill (DVD)

Had such potential

Advantages: Easy to watch
Disadvantages: Lacks substance

I have to say that i DO like this film, it's not the exactly ground breaking but if you just want to sit and watch something thats easy to follow, doesn't have any elaborate twists and is generally fun, then i imagine you'll enjoy this film, just don't expect a lot from it. The film could have been so much darker and more intense than the final product was to be and the rather cheesy relationship the main character has with the Devil is rather odd. ...
...I am also a big fan of special effects and i was somewhat let down by this film, I felt that there wasn't enough creatures from hell and the special effects of the ones we did see were simply bog standard. Considering a relatively good cast was involved i really think a good chance was missed to make a truely epic movie. Yet, if you just want to be entertained after a long day at work, i think this would be a good watch. ...

Review of Constantine (Special Edition) (DVD)

Something to sink your teeth into!

Advantages: Lee and Cushing back together again as Dracula and Van Helsing
Disadvantages: Some of the clothes are a bit naff.

...Hammer decied to update the Dracula franchise this was the result. Dracula AD 1972 is often refered to as one of the worst Dracula's that Hammer made. Feeling they needed to inject some life into the undead Count Hammer they resurrected him in a modern day setting. However I have much praise for this film. Its a vast improvement on Scars of Dracula which preceeded it (although that did have Patrick Troughton in and the famous climbing down the wall ...
...set one of their 1970's Dracula films in the late 1930's. Dracula AD 1972 probably felt very dated very quickly even 10 years after it was made. But now it can be viewed as a piece of retro hookum with a hell of a lot of 1970's style. The opening sequence with Cushing and Lee battling it out as Van Helsing and Dracula for the first time in about 15 years is brilliant. And Dracula's death scene in this sequence is ingenius. Fast-forward 100 years ...
