Great Plot, But it was'nt executed perfectly...

Advantages: Great Plot and Good Gory scenes
Disadvantages: Dull first hour, good parts are packed in at the end

...that tell them about a hostel in another country; and decide to go there on the basis of the 'quality' of the women there... Im not going to say anymore but if you wish to know more about the plot, you should browse the internet. The acting in the movie was, I would say, quite good. Im sure these are actors that not alot of people have seen before so this movie could break them. THe acting in the 'horror' parts is great, you really feel an element ...
...I said, the first hour or so is dull. It feels more like softcore porn so watch out it you thought this movie was a full on horror movie. But when it does kick in, by god you know its started. Overall this movie is above part, if you can be bothered watching an hour of mostly backstory to see the good bits. ...

Review of Hostel (Unseen Edition) (DVD)

Kingdom Hospital

Advantages: Great experience
Disadvantages: Very long, but completley addictive

This is the first television series written and produced by the one and only Stephen King is based on a hospital in Maine, which was built on the wreckage of 2 fires. The first of which was during the civil war, it was a mill called Great Falls at the time. The second of these fires destoryed a creepy hospital called the 'old kingdom'. It is on 4 discs and in total runs for 15 hours. At the beginning of the series you see a man running down the ...

(This is actually part of a the real life accident that nearly cost Stephen King his life some years ago. The hospital is haunted by one of the victims of one of the original fires. Mary, who was a labourer (she is only a 10 year old girl). there is also an ...

Review of Kingdom Hospital - Complete (DVD)

Meet your Nemisis!

Advantages: action packed.
Disadvantages: slightly wooly plot

...to conquer the movie world. Resident evil made a slowish start. The first film was watchable, and for a fan of the games like myself, it was entertaining. It seems, that the series is getting stronger, though, as apocalypse turns out to be a rip-roaring success. Highly enjoyable, and memorable for more than just Milla Jovavic (or, Milla yoyo-a-bit.). Yes she is a fox, but she could also kick your ass! The perfect woman! We left the last film with ...
...escape is thwarted by umbrella, the evil corporation behind the t-virus. Her friend Matt, who was the only other survivor of the hive, was also taken by umbrella, but he was taken to be in the nemesis project. Umbrella release the t-virus upon Racoon city. The city was chosen as it could be locked down, to contain the spread of the virus if need be. Then, into the zombie covered streets, the company unleashes its two champions. Good versus evil, ...

Review of Resident Evil 2 - Apocalypse (DVD)

This one made me feel dirty

Advantages: It's over fairly quickly
Disadvantages: Hammy acting, depressing, torture porn

...just become depressing and uncomfortable. Hostel 2 falls neatly into the latter category. I could write a detailed plot synopsis like I usually do in my reviews, but what it boils down to is this - three young American women travel to Prague, get abducted and tortured to death in a variety of gory ways by people who have paid for the pleasure. That's it, really. There are no subtle plot twists, no symbolism, no allegory, nothing. It's just people ...
...loving detail. You can almost imagine director Eli Roth jerking off during the literal blood bath scene. I'm not really a fan of this brand of horror (I have similar feelings towards the later Saw movies) so I suppose this one was never going to get high marks from me. It's not because I'm particularly squemish (I think gore and nudity have a place in any good horror film) but honestly, I just don't find anything entertaining about this movie. It's ...

Review of Hostel Part 2 (DVD)

A really bad attempt at a horror film!

Advantages: I don't think there's any redeeming features about this!
Disadvantages: I don't think there's any redeeming features about this!

When A Stranger Calls is a remake of the 1979 horror, now I haven’t seen the original but my Dad has & after seeing the remake he told me that the original was miles better than the remake & I can very easily believe that! When A Stranger Calls was released 3rd February 2006, it’s rated 15 & runs for approximately 99 minutes. The film pretty much bombed at the box office, having said that it did gross an estimated $66.9 million on a $15 million budget ...
...to the not even mediocre When A Stranger Calls is a significant drop in class & if his next film follows the same pattern my predictions for it are extremely bad! The main character Jill Johnson is played by Camilla Belle who’s appeared in films such as: Jurassic Park & 10,000BC. Her upcoming film is called Push & stars Chris Evans & Dakota Fanning. When A Stranger Calls, I think the title pretty much gives it away don’t you? For those of you who ...
