Horror/Suspense
Jaw dropping
This movie was amazing it was scary,jaw dropping and mind blowing. The ending was amazing and the actors where very good at playing the roles. The monster was weird but it was good and the CGI was fantastic. This is a must see.
A sketchy film with confusing camera work, unexplained monsters and a peculiar plot.
My initial feeling toward the film, Cloverfield, was “This movie’s all right!” Cloverfield begins with a satisfying summation of the characters and an increasing intrigue into Rob and Beth’s relationship. But the movie that held such promise quickly declines into a series of confusing explosions, dizzying camera work, and a sketchy plot.
Creators of horror movies often leave gaps in a plot so as to captivate the audience and let them come up with their own conclusions about the movie, but in Cloverfield there is nothing BUT gaps in the plot. The Cloverfield monster is never fully explained to the audience, leaving it up to us to assume that it is either an alien or a Military mistake. What exactly the miniature monsters are is anyone’s guess, as is what happened to Marlena when she was bit by one.
The unbearable camera work is enough to have you popping Dramamine and praying for the end. Through the dark tumble of running and explosions, Hub’s camera work leaves much to be desired. While I myself could stand the shaky film, what I could not stand was that most of the movie took place at night, so I was literally in the dark as to what was going on.
As for the conclusion of the movie, we finally get a gratifying 20 second view of the monster, but that is hardly enough to compensate for an hour of poking your neighbor for answers to this confusing film. The touching but predictable ending of Cloverfield leaves you shrugging and heading to blockbuster for a more interesting movie. Perhaps we should feel compassion for the loss of characters in this movie, but frankly, we never spend enough time one on one with them to really care that they died.
All in all Cloverfield was simply a cheap remake of dozens of monster movies. It simply lacked a few main elements such as an explanation as to what the monster is, why it is here, how it got here and what happened to it. On the bright side it had very pretty actors.
Based on the book Secret window, secret garden
Secret Window is a hybrid mystery horror movie. It has the elements and techniques of both genres. It has many clues and hints of what is to come coupled with intense scenes of suspense and wonder which makes a potpourri that smells absolutely amazing. This film will leave you in wonder since the beginning and the twist will throw you so hard, you can sue the director for giving you whiplash. The film stars Johnny Depp as the films protagonist, Mort Rainey, a horror novelist in a troubled marriage who finds out that his wife has been sleeping with another man, earning its PG-13 rating.
Johnny Depp shows his true skill as an actor in this film. He is absolutely amazing. It’s hard to think that the same man who plays Jack Sparrow, the lighthearted pirate from a Disney move, can be this believable in a serious role. You could really feel his emotions from his acting. What sets this movie apart from the typical thriller is the mystery. Instead of being a physical thing, it is more of a mental state that is the mystery. This adds a whole new level of mystery and suspense. The movie was a great success and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Repeat Of AVP but this time in a proper inhabited town
Aliens Vs Predator was terrible as a massive fan boy I still enjoyed bits of it, but it was never and will be never a good film.
AVP 2 I thought was going to be even worse but despite this I felt it was OK. Not great but certainately watchable (especially if your a fan).
The main problem is a lone predator is dispatched (why is a mystery?)to sort out many aliens (cheaper effects wise) granted, but still it cheapens the menance that is the alien. Also aliens go toe-to-toe with the predator too much (not it's advantage I think). Still the inclusion of small town America was a good idea as it has long been thought about the damage they could cause on Earth.
Having said the film was enjoyable! Death scenes were a bit routine at times and too little emphasis placed on character development (not surprising given very short run time- less then 90 mins)
Much better than the first AVP. But unfortunately still lacking a lot from either great predecessors. Worth a watch though.
Thank You
Yet another Video game tie-in from Uwe Boll (Vampires this time)
Well Uwe Boll is nothing short of brilliant. He is consistency personified. The German director has alreay done Alone in The dark amongst his movie tie-in/horror career and this doesn't dissapoint either, being completely upto his usual standard.
Which is of course to say that the movie is absoloute and unmitaged tripe from start to finish! This film is so bad you should be able to sue for lack of entertainment. It is obvious, badly scripted (ridiculous speeches made to cast but obviously just a terrible narrative)I am a huge horror fan and love lots of vampire films (even the first Blade movie)
The cast seem and act bored, and badly throughout most of it. The action is there but nothing new not even once did I stop yawning. the only reason this is not condemned to 1 - 10 is that under 90 mins means at least it isn't wasting too much of your life.
The biggest achievement Uwe Boll can claim is how he gets the casts he does i.e Ben Kingsley , Christian Slater etc. Please Hollywood the world implores you never let this buffoon helm another film again.
Thank You
A small group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world take refuge in an empty hospital with plans on re-building society. When they rescue a survivor, they fi. the gure out that she is a leader of savage cannabals nick- named the Rovers.
Welcome to my weekly movie review. this week i am reviwing Tooth And Nail part of Horrorfest 2007 starring Rachel Miner. Rated R. Now im a big fan of these horrorfest movies. But this one was pretty bad. I have 3 reasons why this movie was bad.
1: The plot is that what happens when the world runs out of gasoline. now i just did not get that. its like saying: The world is out of gas!!! we must kill others for food!!! now thats dumb.
2: The charecters in this movie have weird names. like Viper, Kie, Dexter, and things like that. the Rovers had weird names to.
3: WARNING SPOILER!!!!!! The ending should of had a twist. the only survivors from the rovers were a crazy woman and a retarded girl. in the middle of the movie, the girl locks one of the Rovers in a freezer. in the end the crazy woman says: When cilivsation is no longer here to protect us, we will fight tooth and nail to survive. when she was saying that, it showed the door to the freezer, and the rover just popped up, looked out the window, and just went HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHASHHAHAAHAHAH!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!! MWHAHAHAHAHA!! and then the movie just ended. i dont know what he was laughing about. i did not know if he had a plan to escape, or if he was going crazy.
Tooth And Nail= Bad
Check out my next movie review of Lake Dead: Horrorfest 2007
see ya
An awesome horror movie if your not squemish!!
I thought the movie was great!! The whole storyline made sense and the ending was really good. My favorite part was in Jason's dream Freddy gets his arms chopped off and they grow back and so on!!!
An excellent holiday movie
Anything with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton will get me to see this without even seeing the trailer or even knowing the name of the movie. Johnny and Tim make an awesome duo and all of their work is absolutely amazing.
ABOUT A GIANT BUG WHO ATTACKS MANHATTEN
One of the worst movies i ever seen. I mean i watched a lot of monster movies but come on. They were right about good special effects, but it had no plot, it sucked. It doesn't tell you where the monster came from, where the giant tarantulas came from, why the monster attacked the city, i mean that girls head explodes why? The worst movie ever. And the movie ended so suddenly. So if you ever think of watching it DON'T.
Jeepers Creepers 2 is not for little children especially under the age of ten. It is a horrific movie designed to scare teenagers. The reason you don't want to show it to little children is because it has blood, gore, and gruesome graphics. Jeepers Creepers 2 is about a demon that must eat every 23 year for 23 days for regeneration and disguises himself as a scarecrow. He wouldn't count on meeting an old victim's dad who lost his youngist son to the demon. He only sometimes appears to the people who heard this song "Jeepers creepers, where'd ya get those peepers. Jeepers creepers where'd ya get those eyes. Gosh all, git up, how'd they get so lit up. Gosh all, git up, how'd they get that size. Golly gee! When you turn those heaters on woe is me, got to put my cheaters on. Jeepers creepers, where'd ya get those peepers. Oh those weepers how they hypnotize! Jeepers creepers where'd ya get those eyes." Then he'd kill them and steal their hearts.
