Stake land...as it was on sky movies.I thoroughly enjoyed it~it was low budget but had a really good feel about it and a great cast.

Cabin in the Woods.

Going to watch it again tonight. Maybe I was tired or expected too much. I want to be sure before I review.

Left For Dead/I Miss You Hugs and Kisses-I only watched this because it was one of the video nasties I hadn't seen. It took me 4!!!!attempts to get through it all and I only did so out of obligation. Woeful to the extreme one that deserves a round of applause out of relief that the bloody diabolical thing was over. Basically it's a soap opera disguised as a video nasty and a terribly achingly dull soap opera at that. A film that literally sucks the life and joy out of the viewer. The reason this film made the list was because of two controversial scenes. These scenes come out of nowhere and have absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the film (one is inside an actual abbatoir). I can't work out whether they were added for the director's amusement or whether it was to give this film attention it truly does not deserve. It's painfully sad that this film will be seen by many people like me who want to see all the video nasties (in my case it's all except the cannibal films that I'm prepared to watch and this would have been with them had I known about the abbatoir scene beforehand). This is definitely the worst (most unwatchable) of the video nasties I've seen (given the list includes Frozen Scream that's saying a lot). Completely unlike the other films as most are at least horror films but even taken as a soap opera on it's own merits this is despairingly dull). There is some violence at the end but that's no reward for the torment of sitting through this garbage. A painfully arduous viewing experience.

"Silent Hill: Revelation" 7-8/10

The story was quite confusing and some parts felt rushed and a bit clumsy. Also the dialogue wasn't very good and most of the acting was VERY theatrical. I also found it odd to see so many famous faces in such tiny roles with such bad lines. Actually most of the characters in this sequal was crap. Especially the annoying class mate who must have been a Twillight reject. Yuck!

But what i really like was how much it stayed true to the third game in the franchice as well as the first movie. The mall, the creepy amusement park with the scary "cute" rabbits and especially the looks of the heroine was spot on. And i really loved the nod to the newest game Downpour at the very end. That was so cool. Easy to tell the director is true Silent Hill nerd.

Finish watching The Shrine...Ehhh ending was better and made it all make sense. Cool little twist at the end but reminded me way too much of the exorcist.

2 1/2 out of 5

Beneath the Dark - Really confusing movie but the end ties everything together. Ending was pretty good and worth the watch. At first you think it's just another stupid flix but the twist and story line really makes it all work together.

3 1/2 out of 5

Have been really looking forward to this. Thanks for the heads-up, my Viking friend.

Watched Cabin in the Woods last weekend with my wife. I thought it was great. Probably one of the most original horror movies that I've seen in a very long while. Recommend it highly to anyone who may not have watched it yet.

Watched Thankskilling again this morning. Still not sure how I feel about it

"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" 7-8/10

The first half was definitely the best. When the Civil War began the movie started to drag and got i little boring at times. But unlike other movies with a big budget, such as the first Silent Hill, you could actually see every penny in this production. Beautiful cinematography and especially the stampede fight was quite unique and amazing.



"End of watch" 7-8/10

Even tho it sure took its time building up to something that actually reminded of a story i really liked this one. I appreciated the time the movie took to let its viewers get under the skin of the two cops, excellently played by Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena.
As mentioned several times on the IMDB board the ending could and should've been more powerful. Also the use of so many types of cameras seemed a little weird to me and also seemed to confuse the actors at times. Handheld (gyllenhaal), chestheld (both cops), shaky and normal cameras. Even the bad guys ran around with a handheld camera for some reason. I never understood why any of the hand/chest held cameras was used in this movie? Didn't seem to be an important factor at all in the end anyways??

Still recommended to fans of Colors and Training Day. :)




"The Awakening" 8-9/10

Except for the the rather anticlimatic ending this ol' school ghost flick was right up my alley. Great ghost story, beautifully shot and with a perfect cast. Reminded in many ways of "The Others" without having the same story.
If only i'd seen more to the creepy child and less to the cute one i'd been a very happy camper.

Finally saw "My Name is Bruce" a few nights ago. I really enjoyed it. O'course I enjoy all of Campbell's films. Who doesn't? lol
