AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem (2007)
Awesome, simple as that
I waited with baited breath for AvP 1 and although I enjoyed it, left a fair bit disappointed. I have waited for this one all year and wow, what a movie. This could be interpreted as a direct rip off of Aliens, with brief moments of Alien3 and Alien resurrection, or paying homage to the classics that came before it. I say Aliens in particular, as you will see when you watch it. It also has the feel of the original Predator, right down the original music. If you want a bad arse predator back, not one that teams up with people!! and relentless, murderous, hard core aliens swarming the town, this is the movie for you. This left me wanting more. Let's hope the studio can see that these classic movies should now be reinstated in their own right. Bring on Predator 3 and Alien 5
The Man from Earth (2007)
Seemingly low budget surprise
At first glance, I was thinking Foxtel(Australia) Friday night midnight porn production!! But how wrong was I? This movie really made me think. It was confronting, profound and more. I admit, the ending didn't satisfy, which I thought about a fair bit throughout(How it would end that is), but what an original, refreshing piece of work. The acting was pretty good(Especially 'Candy Man'), and the main character was most convincing. For a low budget movie that I had heard of from word of mouth, I was highly impressed, not my usual cup of tea. I would say, give it a go, to anyone with an open mind. You will not be disappointed with this quirky challenging production
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007)
My god!!!
I'm pretty sure I will regret wasting that 90 minutes of my life!! That is what you would call absolute CRAP. I know it's low budget, I know it's direct to DVD, but this is the sort of tripe that gives horror movies a bad name. STAY AWAY FROM THIS. Even Henry Rollins is bad in this. Anyone that had anything to do with this should retire. If I could give this less than 1 I would have. Buckets of blood do not make a movie cool. I seriously cannot believe I watched it till the end. Call me harsh, but this is BAD BAD BAD. Just having to write 10 lines about this movie is embarrassing, but I warn anyone that even considers watching this, don't say I didn't warn you
The Fog (2005)
My oh my!!!! Why
I don't think I can take it anymore!!! Hollywood and their "Horror" movies. Who is that thinks firstly, the audience is really really dumb, and secondly, this sort of CRAP is a horror movie. I saw the original as a teenager and thought, OK, but not one of carpenter's best, but this, this is just embarrassing for the makers and the viewing audience. Not only is this so called "Horror" extremely bad, it is so predictable, it's just plain embarrassing. Whatever you do, rated version or unrated version, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS MINDLESS, BORING DRIBBLE. Look to directors like Rob Zombie or Neil Marshall for some real Horror and suspense,
The Descent (2005)
The way horror should be
Just saw the English version(I,vie heard the US have changed the ending to a crap one) and wow, what a movie. Suspense, gore ,violence, tension. The perfect package. If you are into GOOD horror, unlike crap such as the FOG(remake), then go see this ASAP. An all female cast pull off this awesome follow up to Dog Soldiers. It has a similar feel to it, but with a lot less humour than Dog Soldiers. I don't know why, but I feel the poms do movies better than the yanks, they just seem to have a more realistic, better feel to them. After excellent character building, this movie all of a sudden kicks in big time at about the half way mark, and then doesn't let up until the final scene, with an excellent ending. I was on the edge of my seat. See this one now.
