Fearlessly fighting to achieve their emotional and physical goals can be an equally liberating and daunting experience for anyone, even the most seemingly tough and resolute soldiers who have committed to not allowing any obstacle hinder their progress. The two lead mercenaries in the new action thriller, ‘Tiger Raid,’ are the prime example of courageous men who daringly and willingly put their own lives in danger in order to fulfill a dangerous mission. The cast and crew of the drama, which was directed by Simon Dixon, who co-wrote the script with Gareth Coulam Evans and Mick Donnellan, also commendably conquered a sentimental milestone when they attended the film’s World Premiere [ Read More ]

Tiger Raid is a grimy hour-and-twenty minutes of cut-throat, iron-sighted tension, until a vacuous ending drops all its subplots at once – like a juggler who raises his hands mid-act and declares “Done!” We’re drenched in the sinful hellishness of war, and dragged through a game of wits between two mercenaries who are constantly testing each other’s boundaries. Simon Dixon’s feature debut grabs our attention with morally ambiguous proclamations, but squanders unpaid debts on a finale that hurriedly explains a string of MacGuffins with the grace of The Incredible Hulk. Frantic psychological thrills sizzle under the Middle East’s vicious heat lamp, but Dixon simply runs out of gas a few miles too soon.
Brian Gleeson and Damien Molony star as Joe and Paddy, two guns for hire who are carrying out a hush-hush kidnapping mission. Their boss, Dave, arranges for ransoms once his solider teams secure their hostage,...

V/H/S/2
Written by Brad Miska, Simon Barrett, John Davies, Jason Eisener, Gareth Evans, Jamie Nash, Eduardo Sánchez and Timo Tjahjanto
Directed by Simon Barrett, Jason Eisener, Gareth Evans, Gregg Hale, Eduardo Sánchez, Timo Tjahjanto and Adam Wingard
USA/Canada/Indonesia, 2013
What can be said about V/H/S/2 that hasn’t already been said about its predecessor? As it turns out, not all that much. After just a year since V/H/S was first released, the second installment comes out with minimal changes, and thus should divide audiences into similar camps as the first did; that is to say, into a “don’t mess with a good thing” crowd, or a “you can’t polish a turd” circle.
Like V/H/S, V/H/S/2 (electric boogaloo?) centers around a set of mysterious tapes, each, when played, revealing a harrowing video. This time around, the poor souls...

I had almost lost complete faith in the entire found-footage collective until last years release of V/H/S - it had seemed as if there really wasn't anything more that could be done in order to impress an audience outside of nauseating the multitudes with stomach-churning camera work, and inane plot points that were completely devoid of scares. I'm fairly positive that the combination of a solid plot with multiple stories a la Creepshow, is what made the first V/H/S such a cult hit amongst horror fans, and the latest installment is sure to make even the pickiest zealot jump for joy after watching this one.

As we open V/H/S 2, we follow the camera work of 2 private investigators that are on the trail of a missing college student, so like any decent slimy back-alley P.
