[Review Rewind] Black Christmas (1974)

A sorority house is terrorised by scary phone calls over the Christmas break. At first they don’t think much of it, but then things start to get really frightening when one of them goes missing and then a body is discovered in the woods near by. Slowly the police begin to put the pieces together, … Continue reading →

Triangle

3/5 Triangle is an interesting film, going into this it wasn’t anything like I was expecting, so I was some what surprised. However 25 minutes in I thought to myself ‘I know exactly what is going on’ and I spent the rest of the film being proven correct. This is a film where you shouldn’t … Continue reading →

The Ugly

4.5/5 When I watch a film for the first time, not knowing what to expect, the thing I really want the most is to be surprised and discover something fantastic. This is what happened when I watched The Ugly, what a gem this turned out to be. This is a strange one film, it is … Continue reading →

Frozen

3.5/5 Frozen surprised me, I wasn’t sure what to expect, all I knew was that this was about three people stuck on a chairlift. Who knew that that could make for compelling and at times very frightening viewing? The quote on the poster from bloody-disgusting is correct, this film certainly does for skiing what Jaws … Continue reading →

Love Comes To The Executioner

3.5/5 This is one strange film, there is no other way to put it. This is a dark, quirky comedy, mostly set inside death row in prison. Not really the type of setting you’d expect from a comedy, but this is a black one. Basically a young man named Heck (Jonathan Tucker) has just graduated … Continue reading →

Eden Lake

3/5 The first thing which comes to mind about this film is, extremely annoying. I don’t think I have felt this annoyed by a film since the remake of Funny Games. Both for pretty much the same reasons, and I will explain why in this review. But first off I will tell you what this … Continue reading →

I Love You Phillip Morris

3/5 This is one awfully strange film, and it took me sometime to think about how I felt. I think the advertisements for this have been very wrong, yes on the surface it is a lover story, but deep down it is about a disturbed man. Jim Carrey plays Steven Russell, he is a local … Continue reading →

A Little Trip To Heaven

3/5 A Little Trip To Heaven is an odd film to say the least, but an interesting one all the same. The film is about insurance, we meet an insurance investigator Abe Holt (Forest Whitaker with an odd accent), who gets sent in to investigate a car accident. We see the actual accident was not … Continue reading →

[Review] 12 And Holding (2005)

[Review] 12 And Holding (2005)

12 And Holding is not an easy film to sit through, it actually is quite disturbing at times. The film is about 12 year old kids, and the events which change their lives. Jacob’s twin brother Rudy (Both played by Conor Donovan) dies in a fire which ends up being a prank gone wrong by … Continue reading →

S.W.A.T.

3/5 I first saw this film upon it’s initial cinema release in 2003 (I mainly wanted to see it for Colin Farrell), and back then I wasn’t a huge fan of the film. I had not seen it since then, and now seven years later I have to admit I like it a lot more … Continue reading →
