Captivitiy
When it came to reviewing Hostel 2, i had so much to say, but coming to write a review of Captivity, the morning after, i am left wondering exactly what it was i ended up doing last night.
Three things spring to mind, exploding dog, acid shower and an eyeball smoothie. Co-incidally these three things all are gore. This is the best, and only gore in the film. Leaving me unsure as to whether anything else actually happened, or if the storyline was so weak I forgot it the second i went to sleep.
The plot left alot to be desired. Pretty model gets captured. Tortured. Then escapes by killing the killer and a few cops. There is a twist, as there always seems to be, however, it was un-original, definately predictable to fans of the genre… Read more
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End is the long coming sequel to Rob Schmidt’s “people trapped in the woods and getting eaten by mutants” horror. Joe Lynch’s directorial debut Wrong Turn 2 had every opportunity to be something appalling and I’m pleased to say it was everything I wanted. A good start to this man’s career.
Wrong Turn 2 is by no means ground-breaking. Don’t expect some brand-new polished horror concept that no director has ever thought of before. Fraid not. It follows that tried and tested and tried some more, concept of mutant in-breds in woods eating unfortunate passers by. Deep down we all secretly love it!.. Read more
Another Hostel Part 2 Review (Sorry!)
Compared to Paradise Lost, Hostel Part 2 is a masterpiece. Whoever even thought to compare that film with the original deserves to be shot. Hostel Part 2 does exactly what you would expect. Delivering uber lashings of gore. Possibly more so than the original, which came as quite a shock. The rest of the film however, was predictable.
In true Tarantino style the violence in this film is the most hard hitting i have seen of any film. Even if technically it isn’t a true Tarantino production. Don’t expect the odd spray of blood here and there to let you know where you stand, no chance, the first killing is as cringe-worthy as every other death to follow, and far more outlandish than anything I remember in the original. Naked women bathing in blood, scythes, battle axes, decapitations, a bolt-cutter taken to a man’s genitalia, a women’s face getting angle-grinded, This film does it all with buckets of fake blood.

Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer
Mr Fantastic, The Invisable Woman, The Thing, The Human Torch,
That well known team, only sidelined by Mr T and the rest of the A-Team.
They have had their own film before. And boy was it average. Although this time, they are given the helping silver hand of the silver surfer. Marvel’s coolest character ever? Possibly.
As with my earlier review of Spiderman, it goes without saying that the special effects in this are breath-taking. I am positive any film from now on with a marvel name can expect this kind of treatment. So go get yourself a high def TV, a blu-ray player and a copy of this. Who cares if its worth the money, it will physically rattle your senses… Read more
Spiderman 3
Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can, or does he?
With this week comes the release of that Hollywood favourite Spiderman 3! This year’s huge blockbuster that knocked everything for six this summer, but was all the hype worth it? (And should you invest in a black Spiderman costume for Halloween?)
Well one thing’s for sure, you can fling on your spidey jammy’s once more kiddies, Spidey is back and he doesn’t suck (he bites)
So how much better is this movie than the last? Considerably. Spiderman 2 was quite simply the original film with a different bad guy. An octopus instead of a goblin. Spiderman 3 however actually begins to introduce new storylines, yes you will still see him hanging off that US flag for hours on end (oh the patriot!) but this film really brings new directions to the movie franchise… Read more
Stay Alive
Ah Ah Ah Ah Stay Alive, Stay Alive. That famous line from that Beegee’s classic and the title of an underground survival horror game that unfortunately kills you in real life if you die in the game. Apparently. It seems like a recipe for disaster when infact quite frankly it works.
Being a bit of a computer game fanatic myself it relished the fact that I could watch geeks playing games for an hour and a half. Within minutes I thought my girlfriend would be fast asleep when infact we were both enjoying it… Read more
