Hot Fuzz.
While I won't be rushing out to buy this quite as quickly as I did Shaun of the Dead (had the UK dvd prior to the films release here...ha) This one, I will be adding to my collection. As per usual, the two leads work pretty well together.
The comedy ranges from subtle to over the top, reverse references aplenty...the action sequences are actually quite impressive too. You hadda love Timothy Dalton too.
Some good/fun twists, and the same cross-genre success rather than failure.
Not short of splatter.
The only reason I say I didn't like this quite as much as Shaun is because that film set the bar so damn high...
Was the sound turned up stupidly high in anyone elses cinema for this?

Overall very good.

Not really...I mean, there's elements of horror/splatter, but nothing really that screams "super troopers", more odd couple kinda thing...but, not really even like that...I'd suggest seeing it one way or another, I think most people that have watched SHAUN or SPACED and liked those will enjoy this one...the director, and writing stays pretty consistant.

"Wicked little things" 4/10

Yet another good horror story wasted...


This was one of the few horror movies this year i was looking forward to the most. :(


One thing that really pisses me of:

Why is it that most Directors/make-up artists think it's good enough to color the actors faces grey to make them look like zombies??? :mad:

Why do horrorfans like zombie movies? Isn't it pretty much because of the zombies?

I mean, why bother making a zombie movie if you don't even have some decent-good-awsome make-up effects, no matter how good a script you've got?

Conclusion: Without good make-up effects you can't make a good zombie movie. Only bad/lame/laughable ones.

Sadly enough, not many directors has gotten that into their thick sculls yet and probably never will. I guess they don't find the horror audience to be very picky. Or maybe they just don't know their audience very well, or maybe they just don't give a shit... SCREW THEM ALL TO HELL!!!! :mad: :mad:

Fearless.
Pretty good...not all that great.
Kinda reminded me of "shenmue" in parts.
Great action..but not his best.
Loved seeing a divided staff used, not enough of that.
Nice music, authentic enough sets/scenery.
A good watch, but I wouldn't buy it.
