The Ring

Advantages: casting
Disadvantages: none

...seen, however still very memorable. The plot consists of a journalist investigating a videotape with very disturbing images that may have killed four teenagers, now even through the cheesy plot of a killer video tape, it really drawed me in. The reason she begins to investigate, is one the teenagers that was killed was her niece, after hearing about the urban legend about this killer video tape that after 7 days of watching it you will die. Rachel ...
...the legend is true, she only has seven days to reverse the evil that is now after her, and after her son after he watches the tape. The plot was very different to other horror films, and normally I don’t enjoy horrors as I believe most of them have the same plot over and over again. The director called Gore Verbinski has directed great other films like pirates of the Caribbean 2, the weather man and the Mexican. All other great films of mine, this ...

Review of The Ring (DVD)

Delve into the black heart of Asia

Advantages: Hugely tense, effective without cheap effects
Disadvantages: Formulaic storyline

...far, so formulaic) - Where Ring stands on its own is the creeping fear that drips into every shot of every frame - There are very few cheap scares on offer here (American horror directors take note) and the ending shows how horribly effective films can be in shocking the audience without the need to resort to cheap gore effects. The sequels added to the Ring mythology, but struggled to match the tension of this true modern horror classic. ...

Although not initially interested, Katherine agrees to investigate the phenomenon when Doug mentions that the locals are blaming the 'plague' on a local 12 year old girl, with suggestions that she should be killed lest further plagues be visited upon ...

Review of The Reaping (HD-DVD)

The Big Bad Wolf Better One MEAN Mutha

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

Razorback comes from the same director who brought us the highly over-rated Highlander, which ought to tell you something about its quality. Oh, you liked Highlander? I keep forgetting that it has a following for some unknown reason...well ok, this movie is a B-movie horror flick then. As such it contains all the usual B-movie horror things and is naturally meant to shock. Well shock it does, but its not that entertaining along the way which makes ...
...rampage out there called a razorback - the slang name for a vicious breed of wild boar and this one is not only vicious but also huge and with a taste for human flesh. She dies - horribly and a little later her husband comes looking for her, enlisting the help of a pig hunter/tracker and his daughter to try to find his wife. Cue then a hunt for an enormous wild pig which is on a murderous rampage... I said this was a bad movie but to be honest it ...
