Advantages: More accessible than the Japanese original
Disadvantages: Can't avoid the "Hollywood-isation" completely

...Keller decides to get to the bottom of this mystery. Once she herself has seen the tape, she becomes convinced she is going to die. Calling on the aid of her ex they both set to work peeling away the layers of a very disturbing story. What they find at the bottom is not pleasant. I was fortunate enough to see the original 'Ring' or rather 'Ringu' (Hideo Nakata 1998) before the US remake was announced and it stuck in my mind like a splinter. From ...
...by the artful and most notably restrained hand of the craftsmen who put it together. It was subtle and effective and left you feeling washed out, rattled and distressed; everything a great chiller should. I therefore had a mixed reaction when I found out that Hollywood had seen it too and wanted to make it accessible to a wider audience (read "American horror junkies with bottomless wallets and many friends"). I saw the sequel to the original and ... Read review

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Corey Feldman is very funny
Disadvantages: It aint in the same league as the original.

...anniversary of a horror classic, Lost Boys - The Tribe is a chance to revisit the feelings and emotions the original Lost Boys gave back in 1987. It's strange to write a review of a sequel to a movie that a large percentage of those reading this will either have not seen or not heard of The Lost Boys. For those who do remember the movie, you rather like me are probably a little bit surprised that it has taken 21 years for a follow on movie to appear. ...
...saw and enjoyed the original Lost Boys I guess it will not be the biggest surprise that this straight to DVD movie offering is the palest of comparisons to the original, though let it not be said it could have been an awful lot worse. Except the movie as a standalone piece and you may very well enjoy this, expect a follow on from the original with equal charm and charisma then you'll get a rude awakening. Essentially Lost Boys - The Tribe is nothing ... Read review

Advantages: Funny, Bloody, Entertaining, Theres Vampires!!!
Disadvantages: The Hairdo's lol

...Feldman and Jamison Newlander as the Frog Brothers Jami Gertz as Star Kiefer Sutherland as David The 80's is the best decade ever for all horror lovers out there, its the decade before they runied most horror movies and did too many remakes of everything, its when most movies actually scared you properly. You had good, bad, campy, and serious. You had slashers, zombies, ghosts, werewolves and vampires. Within these The Lost Boys would be seen ...
...best ever!!! The Lost Boys starts with a mother named Lucy, played by Dianne Wiest, moving her two sons Michael and Sam to Santa Carla, Claifornia, to live with her father after her divorce. The two boys are typical for their age. Michael (Jason Patric) is the older of the two and is the rebellious teen, Sam (Corey Haim) is the younger brother and is at the confusing in-between age of comics and girls. Once settle the two brothers head out to the ... Read review

Advantages: blood, gore, and edge-of-seat stuff
Disadvantages: not quite long enough

For years before Hostel was released, there was a lack of horror films that actually did what they said on the tin. Hostel changed that, and took us once again into a world of limitless terror on film. Three travellers end up in a small town in Slovakia, searching for the free-sex paradise described to them by a stranger. Before long, their sex and booze-filled adventure becomes a living nightmare, as the characters are subjected to some of the ...
...suffering on the human body. Hostel does paint a very graphic picture of how cruel one human can be to another, and makes a point of trying to understand that there are indeed two very different human sides to this twisted world. There'll be moments when you look away in disgust and cover your mouth, as the films drags you through the hellish intensity. Hostel lives up to its potential, in that Eli Roth wanted to make a film that, when you strip ... Read review
