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 ...

The Cell - Movie Only
Advantages: Original, daring, visually stunning...
Disadvantages: Bare-bones plot, definite reek of misgony...
...fails to enchant me.
The Cell, Singh's debut feature-film following a widely-lauded career in music videos and advertising, is astonishing on several levels. Granted, none of those levels are anywhere near the level upon which the Plot is situated, but so intoxicating is most everything else that one scarcely has the wits to notice.
That plot - a flimsily-strung mesh of cliché and genre conventions - concerns the efforts of psychotherapist Catherine ...
...the mind of captured serial killer Carl Stargher (Vincent D'Onofrio) by way of an elaborate machine of some kind that transports one into the dreamscapes of another. To this end, she is assisted some by Stargher's captor, FBI agent Peter Novak (Vince Vaughn), himself harbouring a fair few demons also.
It is whilst wandering those dreamscapes that The Cell astounds. The work of Scandinavian artist Odd Nerdstrum is plundered throughout, and the resultant ...

I'll stick to the original, thanks.
Advantages: good concept
Disadvantages: poor, poor film spoiled by its sheer complexity.
...going on in it.So, when cube 2 : hypercube came out, I for one was quite exited. For those of you who do not know the original, a brief rundown of the plot would be that a group of eight people are put into a huge contraption, with the bizzarre aim of trying to get out alive. They were put in without consent, or prior knowledge. But, they were put in for a reason, as each one held a particular skill, or a piece of knowledge, that may help them escape. ...
...identical cube shaped rooms, and slowly go mad. Some rooms contain traps, some contain horrific scenes, and some are safe. Now that you know the plot for cube, you also know the plot for hypercube. It would seem that the film has been given a bigger budget, which they threw at the film to give it better effects, and slightly worse acting. Again, we see eight 'contestants' put in a huge contraption, with the aim of getting out alive at the expense ...

Screaming fun
Advantages: In-jokes
Disadvantages: Weaker than previous Scream films
Scream 3 is the third outing for the popular Scream films, directed by Wes Craven, in 2000.
This film follows on from the previous film and sees Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) living in a deserted mountainside cabin. She is trying to get away from the trauma of the murders at Windsor College and is now working as a counsellor for women in distress. However when she hears about the murders on the film set of Stab 3 and that a picture of her dead ...
...are a fan of the Scream films, then you will love this, but otherwise it may be a bit difficult to follow some of the references to past films. I like the self aware references to trilogy films and the rules of horror films in general. Wes Craven has directed a film that does justice to the horror genre. ...
