The Ledge
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...R60214317_.jpg It's a conflicting and complex movie that really makes you think. It's heavily about religion and faith and paints a religious but judgemental and controlling man as the villain and a good man who also happens to be an atheist as the hero but without condemning either of their beliefs. It establishes both of them as humans who make choices, both good and bad and makes you feel for both of them. Some people might not like it as the story of Gavin (the main character) on the ledge is downplayed until the dramatic conclusion at the end, choosing to focus more on the more emotional romance that led him there. It's really well acted and full of heart and emotion and i recommend watching it. |
"30 Days Of Night: Dark Days" (2010)
-Kiele Sanchez Plot: IMDB It has been a year since the isolated Alaskan town of Barrow's population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband Eben, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella Oleson has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, she is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith, the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again. Phantom's Review: For a straight to DVD sequel, this film was surprisingly good. Co-written by Steve Niles (creator of the original comic book), this film has a gritty, almost documentary style to it. Kiele Sanchez ("The Glades") takes over from Melissa George as Stella and she does a fine job. The villain, the vampire queen Lilith, has an old fashioned look about her and I enjoyed that. Plenty of gore and very little CGI FX. I enjoyed this film quite a lot, far more than I thought I would. |

Beyond The Door (1974)I don't really know what to say about this strange strange film its odd even for a 70s Italian horror. Ideal for those who "got" The Perfume Of The Lady In Black from the same year. This is very different though much more atmospheric. I'll have to check out the sequel though I'm not expecting it to be any less weird. |
clash of the titans remake, was better than i thought it would be, still prefer the original but this one was good. 7/10

Sheitan- Insane and unusual French film. Intensely disturbing with several holy shit/WTF moments. Vincent Cassel gives a great performance with incredible creepiness. His smile becomes burnt into your retina.Total F'n wierdo but so is this film. Lags in the middle a bit but def doesnt hold back at all.

"After.Life" (2009)
-Christina Ricci, Liam Neeson After a horrific car accident, Anna (Ricci) wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Neeson) preparing her body for her funeral. Confused, terrified and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesn't believe she's dead, despite the funeral director's reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. Eliot convinces her he has the ability to communicate with the dead and is the only one who can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home, with nobody to turn to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own death. But Anna's grief-stricken boyfriend Paul (Long) still can't shake the nagging suspicion that Eliot isn't what he appears to be. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but it could be too late; Anna may have already begun to cross over the other side. Phantom's Review: a true WTF kind of movie. Strange, bizarre and very weird The actors all do great jobs and the story is interesting. The film has an almost Poe like quality in it's plot line. And I'll be honest with you...I'm not quite sure what happens at the end, but the film held my interest. |
"The Creeping Flesh" (1973)
-Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing Plot: IMDB A Victorian-age scientist returns to London with his paleontological bag-of-bones discovery from Papua New Guinea. Unfortunately, when exposed to water, flesh returns to the bones unleashing a malevolent being on the scientist's family and friends. Phantom's Review: Strange, but interesting little movie. Lee gets top billing, but Cushing is the real main star and sadly these two icons share very little screen time together. The plot is a bit convoluted but it holds your interest and the final scenes with the "monster" are very creepy. Not one of the greats but very entertaining. |
Buried
what a lame excuse for a movie or lack thereof.first it starts off with ryan renolds in the box, not telling you who put him there. this movie only had one scene; him in the box, BORING.for 1hr and 35 min of one scene.for those people who saw it in theaters, i would got my money back:mad:

Super 8. Awsome movie imo, the train crash was damn insanity! 4 or 5 /6.
REQUEST: Can someone recommend me a movie that's really exiting? I'm talkin don't-go-in-there scenes, like for example the scene in the first Wrong Turn were the freaks are walking around while they're hiding in the same room. I just sat there and forgot to breath when I first saw it. Or like Mission Impossible 1, well if you've seen it, you know which scene I'm talkin about. :p IT HAS TO BE a pretty new one... 80s and up to now, are excepted. I don't wanna see you hand me a 60s movie or something, lol. |
Fanatic aka The Last Horror Film (1982)
http://i55.tinypic.com/2iscze1.jpg Joe Spinell's performance was an absolute treat to watch. Need to see Maniac again sometime soon. >>: B+ The Dead and the Damned aka Cowboys Vs Zombies (2011) http://i56.tinypic.com/121phyd.jpg Not too bad as a low budget effort. >>: C- |

Watched a couple movies
Atrocious- Found footage spanish film from last year. Not very good, nothing really happens and when things do start to happen the camera is super shaky and hard to see what is happening. Thumbs Down. Paranormal Activity 3- My personal favorite of the series so far. I didn't care for number 2 at all and the first one was pretty good. This one had a much better pace and more interesting scares plus the ending put an nice spin on things. Hoping number four will follow in this ones footsteps. Thumbs Up. Attack The Block- third time seeing this film and I still enjoy it. Great alien flick which is nice as the Alien genre is very flooded lately hoping they make a sequel. Thumbs Up. |
Coffy (1973)
http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...dhdc/Coffy.jpg Highly entertaining! Loved it ;) >>: A- Retreat (2011) http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/.../Retreat11.jpg Liked it; as I always enjoyed movies with a limited cast & interesting characters set on a remote or isolated location (Island/room/House/Boat etc.) and a little twist at the end. This movie has a nice cast who delivered their usual level of good performance & there are only 4/5 characters in the story with a good little twisted ending. Though some may find nothing new & few flaws near the end but I enjoyed it. >>: B+ |
"Paranormal Activity 3" 5-6/10
Gotta say.... didn't love it. Yes, we've seen handheld camera movies for more than a decade now. Lets move on. :rolleyes: |

"The Relic" (1997)
- Tom Sizemore, Penelope Ann Miller Plot: IMDB A researcher at Chicago's Natural History Museum returns from South America with some crates containing his findings. When the crates arrive at the museum without the owner there appears to be very little inside. However, police discover gruesome murders on the cargo ship that brought the crates to the US and then another murder in the museum itself. Investigating the murders is Lt. Vincent D'Agosta who enlists the help of Dr. Margo Green at the museum - she has taken an interest in the contents of her colleague's crates. Unknown to both there is a large creature roaming the museum which is gearing itself up for a benefit reception which the city's mayor is to attend. Phantom's Review: First let me say that I thought the book this movie was based on was better, but that's the way it is in most adaptations. Now having said that, let me say... I love this movie. A good old fashioned monster movie, a fun story and a very cool monster (Stan Winston does it again) Tom Sizemore is believable as the superstitious cop and Penelope Ann Miler is fine as a no nonsense scientist. A very enjoyable movie. -- |

The Blob (1988) I enjoyed it. I havent seen the original since I was a kid but from what I can remember, and takin into consideration this was an 80s movie, I dig this one. |

Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings (2011)
http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...WrongTurn4.jpg The most awful entry in the series; badly written & full with stupid & annoying characters. Instead of watching the full movie, you can here watch the following music video as it covers most of the "highlighted" parts of the movie. This song is the only good thing about the film that they played at the end title. >>: D+ |
Dead Alive
It's a Kiwi Evil Dead! What's not to love about a film where a man runs through a house chopping up zombies with an lawnmower? |
Last watched for me is Hellraiser. The local £1 shop was selling Hellraiser 1, 2 and 3 for (you guessed it) £1 each.
Upon getting home I found that my wife, who is pretty respectable in the terms of being a horror fan, had never seen Hellraiser (yeah, I don't know how that can happen either). So naturally it went straight on. |
