Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Advantages: Scary from the beginning
Disadvantages: The cute guy dies!

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre follows a group of teenagers taking a road trip through Texas in the 70's. However, when they come across a young woman walking along a deserted road and pick her up, they soon realise something is wrong with her. Not long after, she shoots herself, leaving the group scared and confused to say the least, but little do they realise, their ordeal has only just begun. Coming across an isolated house seeking help, the group ...
...massacre scene. One by one, the youths suffer horrendous deaths in this gruesome remake of the classic horror movie that was origionally banned from cinema in the 70s. I absolutely loved this film, it was a true horror story that was well acted by a young cast. This film had some of the most brutal death scenes i have even witnessed in a horror movie and is just as much disturbing as it is terrifying. I definately reccommend this movie to horror ...

Review of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (DVD)

I wouldn't go out and buy it, but it was pretty good!

Advantages: suspenseful and interesting
Disadvantages: it was probably better in Japanese

As horror films go, it wasn't the worst we have seen. Absolutley lacking in blood and guts, it was suspenseful but predictable, although the ending wasn't expected. To be fair, I think that any film is going to lose some of the shine with subtitles. The settings were semi-creepy (you see grimy blocks of flats on the tele all the time), and, thinking about it, it was probably one of the lowest budget films I've seen. That being said, the acting was ...
...days which only have a couple actors. The actress and child actress were the main characters and in every scene, although there were some other supporting actors. I enjoyed it in a sort of people-watching way (is that how they live in japan?) and the story was creepy enough, if a bit lacking in action. However, that is why a person could consider it "good" - even lacking in action, we sat with eyes glued to the screen - normally such a bloodless ...

Ring II

Advantages: Only for those that enjoyed Ring 1
Disadvantages: Diissapointing.

...here. What made the first Ring film so sublimely creepy is i am afraid totally missing in this one. It all just seemed a very inferior rehash of its predecessor. For die hards only i'm afraid and i doubt if maybe they will enjoy this . Upon viewing I didn't even get far very far into this before i lost interest altogether and switched off . Sorry but i can't recommend this film at all ....at least not on what i saw anyway. First one though was really ...

Fang-Tastic

Advantages: Two Great Films in One!
Disadvantages: Blade Trinity is not part of the Set!

...their card covers, and this Blade double boxset is no different. *****Overview of the Films***** Blade Blade (number 1) is described as a blood-chilling action packed thriller, and it is absolutely right! Vampires have been around in popular films for many many years, from the steriotypical Count Dracular, to the modern day, cigarette smoking vampires who gain back their soul and fall in love with a slayer! Blade brings on yet another dimension ...
...suckers or humans. Why? Because Blade was born a vampire, yet a vampire with a difference. He can walk in sunlight and fight in darkness. In this first film of the trilogy, we see Blade come face to face with haunts of his past as he uses hi powers and razor-sharp weapons to prevent his arch nemisis from killing the world of humans and bringng upon the race of vampires. Like many films with multiple parts, this first one is most certainly the best ...
