El orfanato (2007)
Definitely one of the better horror films produced these days!
I'm not going to write an epic essay on why this film is amazing, but it just is, i like horror/thriller films and have sat through tons and tons of 'crap' Hollywood immitations that are riddled with bad acting and horrible clichés.
This film is absolutely incredible, jumpy in all the right places, with an incredible storyline, the acting and the directing is what makes this movie different than the rest.
Do not be put off by the subtitles, they are done in such a good way that you subconsciously follow the plot without having to meticulously read.
Insidious (2010)
Does what it says...but not much more.
The movie starts off with a believable story line, albeit copied mostly from nearly every new horror film made these days (scary house etc). There are some genuinely jumpy bits, where the main success of these are down to the camera work, directing and music rather then the use of outlandish special effects (which i prefer).
However the plot takes a completely far-fetched turn that i was hoping wasn't going to be the answer and that kinda ruined it for me.. However there is a a nice twist at the end that brought the rating back up a little bit..
I would recommend it for watching it with your girlfriend if you are after an 'easy scare', but not if you are expecting a believable story line.
Starts Well, ends well, just a few dodgy bits that are hard to swallow. Not bad by any accounts.
Snuff-Movie (2005)
Weirdly brilliant..
Not What i expected... but...
This film is weirdly brilliant, nothing to what i thought it was going to be, to be honest, i never review films, and especially i never ever write them, but after watching this film..then reading the bad reviews i felt i had to step in..!! This film isn't bad, it isn't a failure, if you think that you obviously don't understand the point of the director, I'm 18 and i understand it fully, to understand it you need to loose the whole negativity attitude.
It started out a nightmare of a film, with cheap crappy camera shots, poor lighting, poor acting, then i realised that it is ALL THERE FOR A REASON.
You wont understand the film until you watch the last scene a few times over, but when you do you will feel satisfied with the knowledge that you actually understand what a genius director is trying to say..if you don't then it doesn't make it a bad film..
Cheers for listening, Chris
