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 ...

Review of Cube 2 (DVD)

Doing The Timewarp

Advantages: A different horror tale
Disadvantages: Too predictable (for me at least)

...a day more miserable than the last, Grant realises that he no longer has a girlfriend; he reflects on an argument that started with his hatred of Lord Of The Rings (being a New Zealander this is sacrilege). Already planned Paul turns up to take Grant away for the weekend, a time of alcohol, women and surfing. As with all good horror movies a detour takes them somewhere they never expected to go and the duo witness the murder of a young Maori woman. ...
...pursued through the countryside by the residents, who seem prepared to do anything to get their prey. I expected the Locals to be like Staw Dogs, with the "non-locals" turning up and upsetting things. However this is far from the case, in actual fact its not really that sort of film at all. Because of the rural location there are actually very few "locals" and its not the great pursuit that the DVD case boasts. I'm not saying that The Locals is ...

Dead and Dying

Advantages: Not many
Disadvantages: Everything in the film is expected and fairly dull

Dead and dying is about some teens who have found a money making sceme in the tunnels of mexico. The deal is to buy and sell drugs but there trail is hindered by ghosts who have been tortured. These ghosts find grusome ways to kill any human who enters the caves. With this knoledge they carry on as planned. It is a horror made on a low budget. It lacks imagination and has tried to copy ideas from everyother amusing horror released in 2005. It's ...
...with the added poltergiste and dead dude who follows them everwhere but isnt seen until the end. With the odd bit of humour seeping into it, it's definatley worth a watch even if your just bored. I think the characters could use a bit more experience in horror, it's the classic "oh no im being chased" 'runs into a room with no exit and just stands there' Thats about everything for this film, give it a watch and see what you think, always good ...

Review of Wishmaster 2 - Evil Never Dies (DVD)

"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 ...
