The Omen Pentology (Box Set)

Advantages: Fantasically shot, great value horror package
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit too focused and gory for the casual viewer

The Omen Pentology is definately a collection of top quailty horror films with convincing acting and great inovative camera techniques. That said the pentology is probably best left to the horror fans. People curious about the genre might find it a bit too focused and perhaps should start with more approachable films such as 28 days later. The films all have a different feel and angle but together form a definate collection and I would advise that ...

Review of The Omen Pentology (Box Set) (DVD)

When Good Movie Franchises Go Bad!

Advantages: The additional documentary
Disadvantages: None

...someone decided to resuscitate the Omen franchise...... A mistake???? Baby girl enters the world motherless, Gene and Karen York are desperate for a child and only to happy to adopt the child known as Delia (you can see what they have done here cant you Damian - Delia; who on earth would call there daughter Delia in this day and age?). Delia like with the other three Omen movies that came before it starts out nice and turns nasty; leaving a wake ...
...to read any of the Omen novels you'll find that they are filled with too much religion. I'm not saying that religion is a bad thing, please don't get me wrong here; but there really is much more religious insight than is required. The films that came off the back of the three novels realised that this was so and the screenwriters made sure that while the religious issues were addressed they were not overpowering like the novels. What the makers of ...

Review of Omen 4 - The Awakening (Digitally Remastered) (DVD)

Omen what 4!

Advantages: Good for a laugh, watch hollywood get it wrong
Disadvantages: terrible movie, milking a good series of movies

...was preggars, and hey presto Omen 4., let's make her a woman so were not milking it." They basically used Omen 1 and swapped Damian's role for a girl. they got rid of the bible and used new age religion. The psychic fair s**t themselves when our anti heroine turns up. This may have been a far better film, if they just had it as a stand alone movie that had nothing to do with omen. It loses too much, by trying to be part of a fantastic trilogy that ...

Halloween 5 Movie Review

Advantages: some scary scenes, interesting at times
Disadvantages: jamie did not become like Michael Myers

Halloween 5 is the fifth installment in the Halloween movie franchise and this part is nothing better than the fourth part but I must say that the film is good to watch. I still found the film entertaining as the Jamie's story had continued. She is now in the mental hospital, unable to talk. After the horrific actions of the girl in the end of Halloween 4, she has no one to share anything with. Unfortunately, Michael Myers still lives after he escapes ...
...around the town. He breaks through the prison, eliminating all police officers and as Jamie checks the cell where Michael was imprisoned, she discovers that he has escaped. The movie continues into Halloween 6. Yet the story changes. Do watch the other few films as you will understand the movie. ...

Review of Halloween 5 - The Revenge Of Michael Myers (Special Edition) (DVD)

Trick or Treat?

Advantages: The John Carpenter original, and H20
Disadvantages: The Curse storyline

...the film takes place on Halloween 1978, 15 years after a 6 year old killed his sister. The madman has now escaped from the asylum, donned a creepy mask, and headed back to the town of the original horror. Jamie Lee Curtis is Laurie Strode, the resourceful teenager who is stalked over the course of Halloween night by the masked man. Donald Pleasance turns up as an eerie doctor who has to try and bring Myers in alive. The performances are above average ...
...a scene from the original Halloween that subtly plays on a screen in a bar. It wasn't long before Michael returned though. After spending 10 years in a coma, he is now waking up for Halloween. After all, he wont be happy til everybody in his family is dead. We still dont know why though. What we do find out here is that Laurie Strode died in a car crash, and has left a child who now lives with over protective foster parents. She knows nothing about ...
