Evil has been summoned again!

Advantages: Make your wishes come true!
Disadvantages: Lose your soul!

When Morgana, her boyfriend Eric and another guy rob an art gallery of some paintings, and kill a couple of armed security guards, they thought the worse that could happen is them going to jail... However a bullet broke the opal containing the Djinn, that Morgana was wearing atound her neck, this leads to the Djinn, in the form of Nathaniel Demerest coming to Earth and pleading guilty to her crimes so that he can go to prison and claim the 1001 ...
...rights to the Earth. Every time someone makes a wish, Demerest grants it in exchange for their soul. He meets up with a Russian who helps to escape the prison so that he can walk the streets for easier access to the souls that he needs. In order for the Djinn to take full control of the Earth, Morgana (with the help of a priest called Gregory) must make three wishes to complete "the Prophecy"., but we all she ain't gonna do that, hell there's ...

"It's just wrong!"

Advantages: Nice opening credit shot.
Disadvantages: Shame it doesn't end at the end of the opening credits.

...claims that one reviewer called Forest of the Damned the best British film in years. Either he is making this up or the reviewer has appallingly bad taste in films. A group of friends end up stranded in the middle of some woods miles from anywhere and fall victim to 'fallen angels' (naked women with dodgy dentistry). That's the basic premise of this film. To be fair the core idea is a nice one. But its so shoddily executed. From the writing to ...
...that I did think was good. There are so many confusing elements to the whole production. Unnecessary confusion too. Where is it supposed to be set? Its clearly filmed on location in Great Britain. English number plates on cars, scenes shot in some Brtish suburb somewhere, etc. They even say they are in England at the start. So why are they driving an Austrian VW van? Why is there a scene where they find a missing poster which has Miranda Police ...

I'll stick to the original, thanks.

Advantages: good concept
Disadvantages: poor, poor film spoiled by its sheer complexity.

...going on in it.So, when cube 2 : hypercube came out, I for one was quite exited. For those of you who do not know the original, a brief rundown of the plot would be that a group of eight people are put into a huge contraption, with the bizzarre aim of trying to get out alive. They were put in without consent, or prior knowledge. But, they were put in for a reason, as each one held a particular skill, or a piece of knowledge, that may help them escape. ...
...identical cube shaped rooms, and slowly go mad. Some rooms contain traps, some contain horrific scenes, and some are safe. Now that you know the plot for cube, you also know the plot for hypercube. It would seem that the film has been given a bigger budget, which they threw at the film to give it better effects, and slightly worse acting. Again, we see eight 'contestants' put in a huge contraption, with the aim of getting out alive at the expense ...

This Didn't Shiver My Timbers

Advantages: Raised one or two smiles, and had a decent rock soundtrack.
Disadvantages: Recycled plot, poor acting and too many flaws.

B movies are well known for there over the top acting, shoddy camera work and often nudity. My reasons for renting this however stems from my fascination with anything pirate related. Having hugely enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean, Hook, and Peter Pan, I wanted to see how this would play out. I will tell you now that it certainly didn't shiver my timbers! * Plot * Celebrating leaving school, six teenagers go town to the beach and set up camp for ...
...have some fun, they stumble upon a chest. Having opened it and found it empty, they carry on getting to know each other a little better. Unfortunately for our couple their fun is interrupted when a pirate slices her in half and clubs the bloke to death. With 2 couples remaining, the mysterious pirate then finishes one lot off in an equally gruesome way. The last couple manage to escape and go on the run, only to end up being suspects in the murders. ...

Against all odds...amazing

Advantages: Inventive, scary, fantastic performances, quality directing.
Disadvantages: not very widely appealing

...Cronenberg and other Canadian minds. Ginger Snaps proves John Fawcett's ability in the field, as each of the 3 films is not only scary, but interesting, well scripted and works incredibly on the low budget and B-Movie set-up. Ginger Snaps Back was an attempt to keep the series from going stale. The first sequel, GS: Unleashed, was very successful in dropping the gothic style of the original and working with a whole new atmosphere within the same ...
...setting and comic book set-up, Ginger Snaps Back decided to work more on the mythical aspects of the werewolf legend. The revolutionary approach in the modern setting of the 'curse' being a metaphor for menstruation and puberty, and also that it was transfered as an STD, meant that GS1 was quite groundbreaking in terms of the werewolf genre. This movie actually takes back this approach and works with legend, as the two characters seem to be fated ...
