One thing which I can't stand, is lousy CGI. As soon as that was evident in the 15-minute mark, "Stop" button. Too bad, because I thought the beginning had potential. ½ Intriguing film. Always fascinating to see anything about dopplegangers, and in this dystopian setting, it was more effective. Darkly humorous + excellent characters made this one a good watch. Definitely recommended if you have the patience for the male lead. * * * |
EVIL ED 1997
A Swedish horror comedy about a mild mannered film editor sequestered in a house to edit a horror film called "Loose Limbs". His orderly life quickly falls into disarray as the influence of the movie overcomes him. Funny, overdone slicing and dicing and recognizable parodies of popular horror films. |

Very effective low-budget film, with a central theme of revenge. What's unique is how it's been made - it plays out like a one-man show almost all through, yet it's pretty gripping, tense and taut. Not like the over-crowded, super-loud action blockbusters we know of, but a grim, pacy thriller. Watch it, folks. Specially Ferox, Elvis, Angra, Roshiq, Chrono, etc. * * * ½ |
I am VERY excited about that and actually have it at home from Netflix. Can't wait to watch it. :danger:

The Prestige (2006)
http://static.rogerebert.com/uploads...ubhTsbFY6N.jpg Interesting though at times confusing (it's Christopher Nolan, what do you expect) period piece on two magicians competing against each other for love, fame, etc. I liked the Victorian scenery and Hugh Jackman is good (definitely outshines Christian Bale). From a horror perspective, there are many startles and surprises but this is primarily for science-fiction, magic, and occult aficionados. "Man's reach exceeds his imagination!" |
