Doomsday
Wow! What a mess this one was. I loved and hated soooo much of it in equal measures that it will take repeated viewings to reach a final verdict. It certainly isn't like anything made this century. It feels like a lost film from the mid 80s. In the first 5 minutes you get a naked woman in a bathtub with a shotgun...and it just gets more fetishistic from there. The single weakest element is the soundtrack with Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Fine Young Cannibals (yeah, I get the pun Neil, but the song still makes me want to puke) and even the awesome motif from 28 Days Later is thrown in there. The score, however is excellent with Carpenteresque synth and sweeping orchestral beats. If you loved Escape From New York, The Road Warrior, Knightriders, 28 Weeks Later, and even Reign of Fire you'll no doubt enjoy this film, but it still plays a little like a hollow (albeit loving) tribute. 7.5/10

The Mist. Besides the terrible CGI work, this film was outstanding. One of the best horror / sci-fi films of 2007, for sure. Frank Darabont is a very good director. The camera work and cinematgraphy within this film definitely stood out. Very dynamic effects through the use of focus. And that ending? There could be no other ending. Effing brilliant. 8/10
