six soldiers. full moon. no chance..or is there?

Advantages: lots of action, some laughs, a few unexpected things, lots of explosions
Disadvantages: there isn't really any

This has to be one of my favourite films of all time, although I say that, it's up there with lots of others. First things first, the story. A small group of British Soldiers are sent on a training mission in the Highlands of Scotland, and it's on the night of a important football game, England vs Germany. The guys are gutted, but it won't be long until this is the only question floating around in their heads. The Soldiers tell some, what they think, ...
...from these woods, whether it be lone hikers, couples going camping, or big groups - from time to time, people going missing, and they never come back. After hearing the story, something strange happens, the soldiers decide to sleep on it and start to investigate. The morning comes, and not long into the day, they come across the remains of the bodies of a Special Ops team, in the middle of the forest. They realise that this is no long a training ...

Review of Dog Soldiers (DVD)

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 ...

Review of Halloween H2O - Twenty Years Later Halloween 7 (DVD)

A PLACID HORROR

Advantages: Short and funny
Disadvantages: Not really scary or original

...Film Only Review Lake Placid tells the typical story of a small town plagued by an under water killer, but, is given a new look by the fact that this small town is located in the mountains, not the beach, making it very difficult for a shark to give them problems. However the killer I mention is not a shark, but a crocodile, and a big, big one to that. Lake Placid has to a witty script, by David E. Kelley , that contains some wonderfully twisted ...
...not the towns mysterious deaths can be related to a bear or a crocodile, when suddenly a bear comes charging out of the woods, before being eaten whole by the giant croc. Oh the hilarious, totally unoriginal sense of Irony. This sense of humour is something that runs through the script. Even the characters are a quirky, unique lot that you wouldn't trust to protect a field, let alone an entire town, and thankfully the cast have done perfectly in ...

Review of Lake Placid (DVD)

Offers plenty of jumps

Advantages: Scary. Atmospheric.
Disadvantages: Not taking a map on a caving expedition is a bit of a weak plot point.

The Decent follows the expedition of 6 girls on a caving holiday. When an unexpected rock blocks there exist they find their not the only one's down there.. From the director of Dog Soldiers this surprise 2005 indie hit is almost like a film of two half’s. The first an atmospheric and claustrophobic affair, while the second following a more conventional slasher film. While the first does well to build up the tension, it's the later which offers the ...
