NOSFERIFFIC! - a must see horror!

Advantages: Chilling horror movie, good lighting effects/
Disadvantages: slow to start with, some unfitting soundtrack

...classic novel by Bram Stoker, Nosferatu is a must see horror flick. Very unknown and underrated this film was made in 1922 starring famous German actor Max Schreck as the repugnant Nosferatu. The DVD itself is beautifully restored to crisp quality and the soundtrack is done much the same justice. The lack of extra features is understandable as they probably didnt think about this in 1922! I wouldnt say the film was deathly scary, but on the other ...
...- the famous scene where Nosferatu (Max) climbs the stairs to his victims chamber. Using a silent wind up camera, the shot is taken within an eerie dark circle, lit only by the few candles in the castle. Written around the same period as Castle of Otranto, Nosferatu was at the very forefront of Gothic Horror and set the standards for films of this kind to this very day. I reccommend this to anyone who has a liking in horror, finds silent horror flicks ...

Final Destination

Advantages: Above average horror
Disadvantages: Acting

I have to say I'm not a huge horror movie fan, especially with American movies, the last one to amuse me being that tongue-in-cheek one where the scarecrow thing attacks the school bus. But with a real buzz around films like Paranormal Activity, 'Let the Right One', a subtitled vampire winner from Sweden, and this, it seemed a good time to dabble. As the title suggests someone is going to be dragged to hell and before their time, always a good angle ...
...facing the flames. And with Sam 'Spiderman' Raimi directing, he who cut his teeth in this genre with the first two excellent Evil Dead movies, you know its going to be visually appealing and a little bit creepy. It did $80 million world-wide from a $30 million budget, which is pretty good for horror. Quentin Tarantino named this as number three in his top ten films of the year. Not that that means much. Its not, however, the masterpiece the notable ...
