How angry can you get in 110 minutes?

Advantages: Not as bad as the original
Disadvantages: Still bad

...to see my mate one last time before heading off on a 2 week holiday to South Africa. Somehow, each time we go there I get more nervous about the crime rate. Anyway, we met up to watch a DVD and as usual I was to choose, because she has seen practically everything anyway and I'm actually quite indecisive - so she gets to influence me into choosing something she enjoyed! I said lets watch a horror then a comedy, so the horror was the first we looked ...
...some of your reviews that suggested it may be less than favourable. I've got to admit this just made me curious, so I agreed to add it to our list. I'm adding this review a little late as I started it before we left and was unable to access it until now. It wasn't the kind of film you'd forget in a hurry and I only had a little bit left so hope it's ok. Story This film is a remake of the 1972 film of the same title; the latter I have not seen. I ...

Revenge is a dish served cold

Advantages: Good premise
Disadvantages: poor revenge scenes

We love revenge films, mostly watching the Japanese ones such as Oldboy, Ichi the Killer etc etc. Here, the Americans have had a go at the genre, and we both sat down very excited to give it a go. Imagine this: your daughter is viciously raped, then her tormentors come to stay in your house (not knowing who you are). After a while, you discover who they are, and plan your revenge. This is the premise of this film, and it's a very good one which could ...
...is very promising, and the excessive amount of time spent on the rape gives you a strong appetite for the revenge element which is sure to come. Sadly, the revenge side is very short, and never really gets going. There are real problems with the pacing, and the first two thirds should really have only been half the film (if that makes sense!) Advisory wise, there are some very brutal scenes in the film. The rape is hardcore, trying to build anger ...

Classic werewolf film

Advantages: Story and special effects
Disadvantages: none

The John Landis film, An American Werewolf in London, is an iconic film that has achieved cult status over the years. This film is about two American college students, David Kessler and Jack Goodman, who whilst backpacking in England, encounter a werewolf who vicious attacks them, killing Jack but it is killed before David is killed as well. David wakes up in a hospital in London but starts to suffer terrible nightmares of his dead friend Jack, ...
...Sergeant McManus This is an excellent film that has a brilliant story. The story is quite simple but features some great dialogue and quirky special effects. The cast is not exactly full of big stars but John Landis, who wrote and directed this film has managed to get some brilliant performances from the cast. The transformation of David into the werewolf is quite impressive and well done. The scene at the start of the film is very eerie and very ...

Zoltan, Hound of Dracula - totally barking vampire flick.

Advantages: You'll spend more time laughing rather than shaking behind the sofa
Disadvantages: Weak story. Quite annoying at times.

Zoltan, Hound of Dracula (also known as Dracula's Dog) is a vampire film with a twist. The vampires in this film are dogs. Set in modern times, (the film was made in 1978), the story starts in the old country, Romania. All the vampires are dead, having been slain and entombed. Such a tomb is uncovered by the Russian military, who are carrying out excavations in the area. Not knowing what they have stumbled upon at first, a single soldier is posted ...
...the guard, Zoltan is awakened. Zoltan, a large, muscular hound (looks like a Doberman), goes on to release another vampire, a vampire slave/servant of Dracula played by Reggie Nalder (better known for playing the lead vampire in the 1970's version of Salem's Lot). The pair, without a master, become hell-bent on finding a new master, the last remaining descendant of the Dracula bloodline. Michael Drake (played by Michael Pataki), is this last remaining ...
