Read the signs
Review of Dead End DVD by
marria-x
Advantages: Original
Disadvantages: Plots can be a bit confusing
I don't own this dvd but i do have this film on video. I have read many reviews saying that this film is a load of shit but i actually thought it was quite good.
Written and directed by Jean-Baptiste Andrea and Fabrice Canepa, this film was released late 2003. It crosses many genres such as horror, mystery and comedy.
Plot:
Frank Harrington is driving his family to his mother-in-law's for Christmas. For the past 20 years he has always took the ... ...The road he ends up on seems to go on forever. There are woods on either side but they just seem to lead back on to the road. He passes the same signs over and over again. The family encounter a woman dressed in white clutching a pile of blankets in which is her baby. When she's asked how the baby is going to breathe under them, she replies "my baby's already dead".
Frank and his family are going mental. The woman disappears and a mysterious carriage ...

8000 feet to drill
Review of Armageddon DVD by
hex123
Advantages: Action packed
Disadvantages: a little far fetched?
Bruce Willis stars as a roughneck oil driller who takes his merry band of misfits into outer space to save the world from a giant asteroid on a collision course with planet earth.
Its funny and its sad and its action filled but over all it’s a great film. With a giant asteroid hurtling towards earth and it’s too big to be blown off course with a nuclear hit. Bruce Willis is sent out into space to; well basically blow it out of the sky. They decide ... ...actually drill 8000 feet into the asteroid and drop a bomb inside it, causing the rock to split and the halves to Miss Earth. Harry Stamper, played by Bruce Willis, head of an oil-drilling team, is called upon to lead the mission to the asteroid, as the drill being used is one he designed. He and his team - A.J. (Ben Affleck), Rockhound (Steve Buscemi), Oscar (Owen Wilson), Bear (Michael Clarke Duncan), and many more, train for weeks to go into space ...

Stendhal Syndrome
Review of The Stendhal Syndrome DVD by
madhatter7880
Advantages: gory, good scares and shocks, visuals
Disadvantages: predictable ending
...you get when you see The Stendhal Syndrome. It is a movie for anyone who like lots of gore when watching a horror flick.
The movie belongs to the infamous Dario Argento. Most horror fans would have heard of this name. How can you not? The man has given us many 'Giallo' classic movies like "Deep Red" and "Suspiria". By the way, I have written a review on "Suspiria", so please feel free to take a look. You may be wondering what exactly is Giallo. ... ...everyone else this is the explanation.........
Giallo refers to the Italian translation meaning yellow. This colour was originally used for the covers of murder mystery and thriller novels. They became very popular in Italy in the 1930's and also 40's. These novels were really Italian translations from authors such as Agatha Christie. The Italians soon started to produce their own material. Most of them were heavily focused on sex and sexual perversions, ...

How not to carry out a kidnapping...
Review of The Cottage DVD by
sunmeilan
Advantages: Funny, gory
Disadvantages: Some won't like the swearing and the gore
...David and Peter kidnap Tracey, the step-daughter of a powerful villain, they think that their fortunes are made. Unfortunately, nothing quite goes to plan. Tracey's step-brother, Andrew, who is part of the plot, is supposed to deliver the ransom money, but doesn't check the bag and it turns out to be tissue paper. And Tracey is not going to be held without a fight. When David goes out to make a phone call, he returns to find that Tracey has run off, ... ...Peter's brother, he is definitely the more street-wise of the two; in fact, it is him who has bullied Peter into helping with the kidnap. David is a bit of a hard case - he looks like he walked straight out of Eastenders - and struggles to come to terms with other people's stupidity. It is this that brings a lot of humour to the film - his gradual realisation that they are all doomed is funny to watch. He works brilliantly with Reece Shearsmith, ...

Advantages: great special effects
Disadvantages: acting was little bit low
...good movie worth to watch. The great story line and interested.
The covenant is a film about a group of boys who have some natural powers, they all have different power as compare to each other and as the approach there18th birthdays the get stronger and more powerful can do more damage
However there powers to much has a consequence. The general view of this film seems to be that this is too similar to the craft which was about witches personally ... ...some great special effects and the story is completed in this one film, however some of the acting is a little cheesy but i don't think this film was ever made as a great masterpiece. But worth to watch this movie because this movie take your interest in it. ...
