(Another Great Romero mastepiece)
『First it was Night Of The Living Dead. Then it was Dawn Of The Dead now, Romero comes out with another great zombie film.
Made in 85' Its the story of a group of people that try to stay alive underground. Trying to stay alive down there starts out as an easy task but it dosnt stay that way long.The scientists catch zombies and use them for experiments. Soon the zombies break loose and they are after the living.
There is alot of good blood and gore in this film. Romero is really good at making special effects with blood and guts and all of that good stuff. If you liked his last two films, I really think that you would like this one. Pick it up at amazon.』


(Impossible to improve upon! One of the best transfers ever done..)
『I've gone back and viewed some of my favorite old horror flicks on some of the newer dvd formats and in most cases came away with just so so impressions, very good, but didnt really add anything to my initial thoughts or final impressions. Be advised this not a cut on early dvd releases as they all look about same. Using Romero's work as an example, the dvd release of "Night" really didn't add much except maybe clearer audio(I realize it was a low budget film)in fact it didn't seem as scary as the film or tv versions. Scary is a bad word for Romero, his flicks are more "tense" than scary, when he's not in humour or zombie-party mode that is. It seemed to miss the sort grainy at times dark(outside at night) and home-movie-like light scenes(opening graveyard)scenes present in the film. Same thing with "Dawn" added some better coloring but thats about it. Both are good to own in case u don't have a 35 or 16mm copy handy in that order.

"Day" on the other hand, explodes on a whole new level and on every front! First of all it's the best Romero film made... the acting ,screenplay, no-name cast etc. impart totally believable apocalyptic and zombie realism. The stylized swearing and 800 lb gorilla line delivery are simply spectacular in this release! I could write a book on the subtleties of this flick but ill stick to the dvd. The coloring in both light and dark is just about as good as u can get. Even on a junk tv u'll think its hi-def. The audio was simply stunning.... since this movie is heavy on acting and less on zombie visuals the DTS decoding is PRECISE! None of the soft, hard to hear lines, then an explosion of sound thats totally out of whack with the flow of the scene! No No ,not with this; the audio is perfectly evened out as the director would want u to hear it. I swear my whole living room was shaking and echoing with no masking , distortion or improper overlays of the sounds in particular scenes, as the newly in command and extremely annoyed ,incredulous and pissed off Capt Rhodes issues his Shakesperian like verbal tirade to the pathetically liberal, ineffective ,insane and impaired scientific team under his new-command ....."any questions on how things are gonna run around here from now on?". It contained perfectly bright vivid color and happily was missing all the annoying over saturation u get on remade films. Facial detail is on the mark, not the too vivid and fake looking nor the mushy mess you usually see on dvds. The closeups and special effects,by the undisputed master Tom Savini, work very well and are,thankfully devoid of the new CGA horror style. I wonder why more flicks arent remade ,transferred is probably more correct, with this level of studio expertise. It even comes with the actual files of Dr Logan! No doubt detailing how "close" he is to discovering the cause and subsequent mastery LOL...of the zombies. The special feature are just that. Totally full length informative documentaries. An awesome DVD! Maybe the best all around for sound and visual stimulation. I wonder what a blu ray will look like it may not be as good, as it could inadvertantly and potentially remove some of the film like color... we shall see; But for now this is must have for Romero Trolls out there! Immediately throw away every other copy of this movie u own as soon as u get this one and due to the inclusion of Dr Logan's files it's sure to a collectors item, " is that food enough for ya!!!!"』


(Romero does it again!)
『Another wonderful installment in the Romero legacy. I am so glad they put most of his stuff on Blu Ray (still waiting for night). The make up and special effects in this one go beyond the others and in Blu-ray you will be plenty grossed out. The guy on the table with no face is creepy! The feeding scenes are grusome. Enjoy with a friend or a plate of spaghetti!』

(Annoying Characters)
『I really do love most Zombie movies, really. What made Day less than appealing was the horrible, horrible characters. There were the good guys and the bad guys, and the bad guys were so excruciatingly annoying that I could hardly watch when they disgraced the screen. Bad-acting, overacting, underacting...jheesh. These characters are downright annoying to watch - so much so that this is one of the few Zombie movies that I am reluctant to watch twice. One dose of those baddies left such a dead taste in my mouth, I dare not tread again. I just couldnt wait til they were dead so I wouldnt have to hear their incessant yelling at ev-er-y-thing EVERYTHING!. Ugh! And the deadening did not come nearly soon enough. I wanted to puch each and every character in the friggin FACE! (and I'm a pacificst, by golly!)

Good Zombies. Bad bad people.』


(Day Of the Dead.)
『Plain and simple Shock movie, nothing about Horror in it,Zombies,Sensationalism, body parts,eating people . How's this intelligent? or even tasteful, it's good to watch if nothing is on at all.』
『Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: 03/25/2008 Run time: 102 minutes Rating: Nr』
『Chapter three of George Romero's mighty zombie trilogy has big footsteps to follow.Night of the Living Deadwas a classic that revitalized a certain corner of the cinema, andDawn of the Deadwas nothing short of epic.Day of the Dead, however, has always been regarded as a comedown compared to those twin peaks--and perhaps it is. But on its own terms, this is an awfully effective horror movie, made with Romero's customary social satire and cinematic vigor--when a "retrained" zombie responds to the "Ode to Joy," the film is in genuinely haunting territory. The story is set inside a sunken military complex, where Army and medical staff, supposedly working on a solution to the zombie problem, are going crazy (strongly foreshadowing the final act of28 Days Later). Tom Savini's makeup effects could make even hardcore gore fans tear off their own heads in amazement.--Robert Horton

(Stephen King movies)
『I have only watched Dolores Claiborne from this four-movie DVD set so far. As always, Kathy Bates is great, but the real plus to this movie (beside the story) was Jennifer Jason Leigh! She delivered a powerful performance as Dolores' daughter and you could really feel the pain and anguish of this young woman. I loved this book and although I've watched the movie only once thus far, I will watch it again and again. For those unfamiliar with Stephen King's work, you may not know this book is slightly related to the "Storm of the Century" movie/script that I found to be the best-ever Stephen King book-to-screen movie yet.

Sorry, I can't reflect on the other movies in this set yet, but Dolores is watchable and more understandable after having read the book.


(Great Collection!)
『This set gives you four movies on two flipside discs. All are in Widescreen.
Dolores Claiborne-Kathy Bates, Jennifer Jason Leigh. Im starting with this one because as a King fan this movie has always disappointed me. If you have ever read this great novel(directed more towards the women audience) you will find it starts with Vera Donovan falling down the stairs and Dolores Standing over her with a rolling pin(as does the movie) and basically thats where the movie stops copying the novel it supposedly takes after. In the novel, Dolores is taken into the police station where she starts talking about her relationship with Vera. She starts from the beginning where she was a young woman who takes the job because her husband drinks and seldomly works. Vera is strict and wants things her way and Dolores is strong enough to put up with her. The movie completely omits the two other children Dolores has(both boys) and focuses on her daughter only. In the novel, Veras husband dies and her two children(also never mentioned in the movie) quit coming with her during the summer. Dolores is beaten several times by her husband and her daughter idolizes him. She notices her daughter slowly start to change(not looking clean, dressing in baggy cloths, quiet, not hanging around her dad anymore)and decides to take the ferry one day to have a talk with her. This scene does play out similarly in the movie. She goes to the bank to take out the money she has saved so she can leave. She finds Joe took it all out and redeposited it in a new acct. She cries to Vera, who suggests that Husband die Dolores. They have accidents and leave their wives widows with all of their money. This is where Dolores realizes that Vera killed her own husband. She goes home and buys Joe whiskey and makes him a sandwich, then mentions the money to anger him. She runs into the berry patch and jumps over the well, where he falls into it. He does not die right away(as in the movie). She hears him crying all night long...Doloreeeessssss. Heeellppp mmeeee. It Huuurtss.....finally she goes to check on him and he has almost crawled out. She takes a piece of wood and hits him in the face(knocking out his dentures)then he finally falls to his death. Her daughter suspects her mom of killing her dad and they are never close again. All her children move away and she moves in with Vera to take care of her. HER DAUGHTER DOES NOT COME BACK IN THE NOVEL!!!! I say this because the movie brought her back and made up its own story of Dolores and her daughter....this is not how the book is at all!! If the screen writer had stayed to the novel(it plays out like a movie) this movie would be up there with the Shawshank Redemption! Too bad he didnt write the screen play for this novel! Then in the novel, Dolores cares for Vera throughout the years, battling Veras horrible visions of Dust Bunnies, Dolores, They are EVERYWHERE! Bedpans,hysterics, vacuuming the rug just so(Vera listens to make sure) also combatting with Vera who in her elderly years enjoys pooping in her bed and throwing it around the room while Dolores is vacuuming....Then one day Vera has one of her few good days, and realizes she doesnt want to live like this anymore and throws herself down the stairs(like in the movie). Dolores is told she inherits Veras fortune, to which she asks "Why me? She has two kids!" Then she finds that Veras kids died way back when they were teenagers in a sportscar the Vera had boughten them. Vera never aknowledged it, and lived as if her kids had moved away and might come to "visit" her. There is no anomisity between Dolores and the fictional version of the sheriff, as in the movie. If you read this book(or have read it) and absolutely LOVE it, You will absolutely HATE this movie.
Dreamcatcher was a bad novel and a bad movie(cant believe Morgan Freeman did this one)
Cats Eye is a great movie. It is a collection of short stories(all are in novella collections except the last with Drew Barrymore) and the screenplay is by Stephen King himself.
Creepshow is also a good collection of short stories and is very enjoyable. My favorite story is the one with Ted Danson. Overall, if you like at least two of these movies, this collection is a great buy! I know I was long-winded about Dolores Claiborne,but they had Kathy Bates..why did they completly RUIN this potentially great movie??? I wish someone would redo this one and recast Kathy Bates!!!!Where IS Frank Darabont on this one?????』


(Superb King quad-pack)
『There's no "extras" in this Stephen King flip-disc double pack beyond movie trailers. Widescreen transfers are of excellent quality.

All four titles are appealing, but for different reasons.

DOLORES CLAIBORNE is the most "normal" film here. It deals with a mother/daughter relationship and their past history, plus the mom's renewed trouble with a local sheriff who has been trying for about 20 years to see her convicted of murder.

Just saw CREEPSHOW for the first time and really liked it. Here, a father takes his pre-teen's horror comic book away and trashes it. The book flips open and a single panel from five different comics segues to live action, in other words, into five short stories. Best of the lot is "Tide," the one in the middle. King himself is the star of tale #2. After we see all five there's a final shock for the dad who foolishly threw his kid's book away.

CAT'S EYE is another anthology, one that follows a gray tom's adventures as he travels south, roughly along the East Coast. In North Carolina, the cat bonds with a very young Drew Barrymore, who can't convince her scoffing parents that there's a small monster hiding inside her bedroom wall.

DREAMCATCHER features a malignant version of the magic we see in THE GREEN MILE (1999), but it's really a very gross film about giant razor-toothed worms from outer space trying to conquer Earth via the water supply. A bloody stomach-turner, this one!


Parenthetical numbers preceding titles are 1 to 10 imdb viewer poll ratings.

(5.9) Cat's Eye (1985) - Drew Barrymore/James Woods/Alan King/Robert Hays/Candy Clark

(6.5) Creepshow (1982) - Hal Holbrook/Adrienne Barbeau/Fritz Weaver/Leslie Neilsen/Carrie Nye/E.G. Marshall/Ed Harris/Ted Danson/Stephen King

(7.2) Dolores Claiborne (1995) - Kathy Bates/Jennifer Jason Leigh/Judy Parfitt/Christopher Plummer/David Strathairn/Eric Bogosian/John C. Reilly

(5.3) Dreamcatcher (2003) - Morgan Freeman/Thomas Jane/Jason Lee/Tom Sizemore/Donnie Wahlberg』


(A Stephen King Must Have!)
『Creepshow was one of the older movies and very, very good based on the concept of the old scary comic book stories. It is a must have for any Stephen King fan for their collection. It's good with a bowl of popcorn on Halloween night.
Cats eye is a series of stories that takes you through the adventures of a cat on his way to save a little girl from a troll. Each story has you on the edge of your seat. There is a lot of psychology at work with this one and the stories end with the final one with Drew Barrymore playing the little girl who is saved by the brave furry little "General" who protects her even going as far as to play the troll on the record player and send him flying into a box fan. It's also a good movie.
Dreamcatcher is too good a movie to tell you about so I'm not going to spoil it.
Morgan Freeman gives a magnificent performance and well lets just say, you'll never
say SSDD again without thinking of this movie. It's a good movie. Watch it.
Dolores Claiborne is in my opinion the definition of true horror, working hard all her life to try to give her child a future only to find she's married to a monster who takes the money and abuses the child in a way that is just unthinkable. I think
this one would be good for any psychology class dealing on subjects of coercive paraphilias to gain an understanding of what it is like for victims of it. It would
be an excellent movie for certain kinds of psychology or sociology classes.』


(A good value, but.....)
『...Cat's Eye is the standout feature and I don't really care for the other three. I bought it for Cat's Eye hoping that I might like one of the others. Still, I am reasonably satisfied as this was only a few dollars more than the Cat's Eye only dvd.
If you are a fan of Creepshow as well as Cat's Eye it is worth the purchase. I think I would have walked out on Dreamcatcher if I saw it in theaters. And Delores Claiborne is a somber movie about abuse so it isn't quite what you might want in a Stephen King film.
Cat's Eye is a trilogy of stories with dark humor and suspense. I think it is one of the quintesential 80s films and you can detect King's brand of humor and style throughout. It is a real gem.
Creepshow seemed like five stories that kept hitting the same note. It has campy acting and the stories pretty much end the same: with a dead guy coming back for revenge or someone dying a gruesome death. Often both. But I can see how it might be an enjoyable cult film for some.』

(Taste the horror of Dracula's grave in A.D. 2010!)
『Usually I have to pass on these inexpensive Warner Brothers four-movie collections that have popped up lately, as I either have no interest in the movies offered (the "Police Academy" compilation, for instance), or I already own one or more of the movies in the set. Finally, though, with this cool "Dracula" offering, there were four movies that I didn't own and was actually interested in seeing.

All four of these old Hammer Studios (Hammer was affiliated with Warner Brothers) "Dracula" films are engaging fun, often shocking and scary, too. Of course, I was immediately struck by the fact that Christopher Lee's Dracula really doesn't have much to do in any of them. Basically, his rarely-speaking character is there to set the story in motion, appear once or twice throughout, and then show up at the end to bring it to a close. The four movies devote much more of their attention to the activities of the characters surrounding Dracula, which is actually sort of interesting.

Though I liked these movies a lot overall, I have to point out one ludicrous (but nonetheless entertaining) sequence in "Dracula Has Risen From the Grave!", the second film in this set. In this movie, Dracula is actually revived by a priest stumbling around in the forest who trips, bumps his head on a rock, and falls unconscious. Blood from his head wound then trickles onto the surface of the frozen creek under him, drips down through a crack in the ice, and into the lips of a frozen Dracula, who just happens to be directly under where the priest tripped! The trickle of blood revives Dracula for that particular movie. Amazing! Oh, I should mention that the priest was actually in the forest BECAUSE of Dracula (he was on a mission to sanctify Dracula's castle, to make it unusable for the vampire in the event he ever tried to return to it), so it was really unlucky that the priest decided to trip- after traveling hours through the forest- RIGHT ABOVE THE SPOT where Dracula's corpse was frozen in the ice. I thought that was really funny.

Anyway, aside from that head-scratching moment, the stories here are mostly solid, the prints are sharp and clean, and there are even a few modest extras (mostly in the form of the films' trailers). If you enjoy horror movies of years past, you can't go wrong with this entertaining set, especially considering the price.



(Happy with Hammer! P2)
『I am pleased with the service I received regarding he delivery of my Hammer Films Dracula set...couldn't ask for better.』

(Hammer Horrors!)
『It's like being a kid again during a Saturday matinee at the local movie theatre!

This is a great buy! Four movies starring Christopher Lee as the Count! Maybe the best portrayal of Dracula on films.

I bought this before Halloween and didn't expect high quality.. but was pleasantly surprised!

You can't go wrong if you enjoy Hammer films from the 50's and 60's, with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee!』


(Dracula remembered)
『I bought this because I saw them when I was young...however only 2 out of the 4 are worth watching it...
OK Product』


(An incredible bargain for the Dracula/Hammer fan!)
『This is a great collection of 4 of the Hammer Draculas starring Christopher Lee. The movies are presented on 2 double sided DVD's. This is much cheaper than buying the titles individually. The transfers of these films are superb.』

(Thinner by Stephen King)

I am very happy with my movie. It was shipped and recieved very fast. THANK YOU』


(Thinner (1996)-Good Stephen King)
『Thinner (1996) was a three to four star DVD with excellent special effects, a good story and fine performances. It was a little over the top which is nothing new for Stephen King. Over 7 sets of full body make up of one type or another were required to make the transition from 300 to 112 pounds look credible. A short on The Magic of Special Effects was also included documenting this work.』

(Thinner?Was It All Worth It In Some Way?)
『Speaking from personal experience from being an extra (one who actually appeared prominantly) in King's TV production The Langoliers I had a first hand look into what goes into a Stephen King production in general.I was to have appeared in this film as an extra as well but circumstances simply didn't allow for it. Wheras I watched The Langoliers on TV and actually enjoyed it I just recently saw this movie.I'd always been curious about it and heard a lot of conflicting reviews of the film which didn't give the proper impression. So I finally saw it. Frankly.......it was a disappointing film.I've seen horror films before and most of them have some resolution in the end. While this one is unique in that it involves a very terrestrial curse rather then something supernatural. The problem is I was never really certain which of the central characters to route for.Billy Halleck,a lawyer presented in the beginning as having somewhat "questionable ethics" (itself a stereotype of the profession) may have been cursed by a gypsy for "killing" his daughter,being mildly distracted by his wife having given him "oral pleasure" in their car but at the same time some of the methods he uses to undo the curse,including an encounter with a mobster played by Joe Montenga,who was involved in a court case with Halleck as lawyer earlier in the film, become very selfish and sadistic.Not to mention that Robert John Burke portray's Billy Halleck as pompous and glutonous to an unbelievable degree. At certain points in the film it doesn't seem like his is really a life worth saving. Although the concept of bigotry against gypsies is covered to a certain point they are not portrayed as sympathetic characters either,but as nomad rougues looking for a fight. Not only that but another reviewer here is VERY correct:in terms of how Billy Hallecks misadventure takes him his wife,whose only crime seems to be trying to help him with his sudden weight loss it leads to a syndrome of misunderstanding,resentment and finally murder. There is an undercurrent of sexism behind it-a strong one. Kind of a letdown in a horror film where the storyline isn't supposed to take too much focus off the genre. But to avoid sounding too needlessly critical......this is just an okay movie as Stephen King movies go.And since he lives almost nextdoor to me,being from Bangor Maine myself I have some awareness of the New England culture and Stephen King certainly has done better examples of the New Englad horror "genre I guess then this.So only if your really curious is this worth looking into just to see it for yourself.』

(Okay)
『i thought the movie was cool, i hope i never make anyone that mad at me....』

(Journey to the Center of the Girth)
『This one caught my eye while shopping around at local DVD retailer the other week and my interest was peaked. The premise of Thinner sounded very interesting to me, and the cover art (which deceivingly is not a picture of anything from the movie), looked pretty spiffy as well. I decided to watch.

Thinner tells the tale of Billy, an overweight dirtbag lawyer who just can't seem stick to his diet. A semi-solution to his problem comes one night after he plows down and kills an old gypsy woman in a car accident. His cop and judge buddies pull some strings and the death is ruled as accidental, getting him off the hook for his crime. The 106 year old gypsy king is not pleased with this, so he carries out his own style of justice in the form of a curse that rapidly melts the pounds away from Billy. The initial enthusiasm Billy has regarding his weight loss quickly fades into sheer panic as he begins withering away before his own eyes. He embarks on a mission to hunt down the gypsies and have the curse withdrawn, and get back at his unfaithful wife (Who sort caused the car accident while she and Billy were having naughty time).

Either Thinner is not that great movie, or the Stephen King tale it is based on was no gem to begin with. If you were expecting to witness the graphic deterioration of a body filled with intense emotional anguish like David Cronenberg's The Fly (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) for instance, boy did you come knocking at the wrong door. Thinner is mostly just a chronicle of an unlikable character who sheds a bit of latex from scene to scene until he finally just breaks down and begs to have the curse lifted. I think most will find that the plot is even thinner than Billy himself during the movie's final moments. The concept is a fairly straight forward one, I was only halfway through the movie before I started wondering how much longer they were going to drag this out.

Overall I'd say Thinner is another King book put to film that just doesn't quite take off. In fact, I would really recommend Thinner to no one other than a die hard Stephen King fan, (He makes a brief cameo as a pharmacist too). It's certainly an interesting idea for a story and the acting is decent, but it just doesn't work out very well as a movie and is ultimately forgettable.』

(great series)
『great series, but it didn't last long enough for me, that is why i bought it so i could enjoy it over and over, ended too soon for me』

(Great product!)
『not much more to say. We just really like the series. Wish it would continue.』

(Short season but still good..)
『If you have enjoyed the other seasons of The Dead Zone then you will enjoy this one though it is only a 12 or 14 episode season. If you haven't been a Dead Zone fan before now this probably isn't for you.』

(The Dead Zone Season 3)
『Another great season of The Dead Zone. Anthony Michael Hall's portrayal of main character Johnny Smith is brilliant, each episode is wonderfully compelling that takes you into the unknown with his extraordinary sense of touch. I highly recommend purchasing this series on DVD to keep, its great!!』

(short)
『Good movie series. It is exciting and has good plots. I give it only 4 stars because it only has 12 episodes to the season. Most of the stories stand alone but also inter twine with each other in an abstract way. It is best viewed in order. Some of the stories make you think about our government and is this really happening in our day, and make you wonder,or just plain nervous. Some just make you tear up with joy.』
『Based on the characters and story from the best-selling book by Stephen King, the Dead Zone is a unique psychological thriller that combines a rich mix of action, the paranormal and a continuing quest for justice. Contains the complete third season (episodes 1 - 12).』
『Three seasons into it,The Dead Zonehas cemented its stature as one of television's most ambitious and compelling series, combining action, psychological drama, and elements of sci-fi and the supernatural in twelve episodes contained on three discs in this handsome, bonus-filled package. Based on Stephen King's 1979 novel (later a feature film starring Christopher Walken),The Dead Zonewas adapted for TV by Michael and Shawn Piller, with actor Anthony Michael Hall (previously best known for his roles in the mid-'80s hitsThe Breakfast ClubandSixteen Candles) as star, co-producer, and occasional director. Hall ably plays Johnny Smith, who has recovered from a six-year coma to discover that he now has some rather remarkable powers; merely by touching other people, or objects touched by others, Smith has visions that illuminate events that have happened, will happen, or that are taking place elsewhere. He has put this ability to use as a psychic, working with the police in the Maine town in which the stories take place.

Understanding all of this may take a while for the uninitiated; not only does Smith jump both forward and back in time, but he often sees himself in his visions, and sometimes we're watching the Johnny of the present with the one from the past onscreen at the same time.The Dead Zonehas a lot on its hands in each episode, with a stand-alone storyline (a Rep. Gary Condit-Chandra Levy takeoff in "Finding Rachel," a Columbine-esque school shooting in "Cycle of Violence") balancing the ongoing matter of Smith's visions--how they came to be ("Collision" details the car accident that led to his coma and, eventually, his powers), how to interpret them, and whether they're a blessing or a curse. All of that is mixed together with his strange new personal life (his pregnant fiancé, played by Nicole De Boer, married the local sheriff while Johnny was out of commission). And then there's the overriding series theme, which is heavily featured in the first two episodes of this season but mentioned only occasionally thereafter: Armageddon is coming, Johnny alone lives through it, he might even cause it… and maybe he's the only one who can prevent it.

It's a tough act to pull off week after week, but while the show occasionally seems about to collapse under its own weight, it mostly succeeds, albeit without a shred of humor and an ultra-serious, portentous vibe that gets a little tedious. At the very least,The Dead Zonemakes for consistently intriguing viewing. The generous bonus features include commentary (by Hall and many others) for every episode, three featurettes, and more.--Sam Graham

(Not as expected... which is good.)
『I really loved how Terry had the verbal disclaimer before the movie starts. I went in expecting a hallucinatory experience utilizing a lot of effects. I got very little of that and am actually quite glad for it. There were so many scenes where the viewer may be nervous on where the story may be headed. You may be scared as to what the characters are going to do next. But this movies has a soul of innocence which is rarely seen on film or reality. Open your mind and don't take your eyes off the screen.』

(Boring)
『I really wanted to like this movie but I couldn't even finish it watching it. While I found what I did see to be rather trippy it was, to me anyway, really boring. I liked all the characters, at least the ones that were living through the movie, and enjoyed the scenery but the movie itself just dragged. Maybe it got better as it went on based on the reviews calling it brilliant but after about a hour I just couldn't take it any more.』

(Powerful film of dark childhood fantasies is up to Gilliam's standards, but beware this poor DVD release)
『I have a history with Terry Gilliam, well with his films anyway. Seeing BRAZIL at its Chicago premiere, early in 1986 on the 2nd date with my first girlfriend was a defining movie moment for me; it was one of a select few modern films that really helped me to appreciate what the medium could do. Also, it was played at an earsplitting volume and it was on one of the biggest screens in the city at the time...all in all an unforgettable experience.

So I've loved the director ever since, which makes it rather inexplicable that I waited to this long to see TIDELAND, a film problematic in its release and reception even for Gilliam, who unfortunately has to be used to such things by now. I guess that on a certain level I found the storyline, what I knew of it anyway, rather unnerving and perhaps something I just didn't want to deal with at this moment in my life; and indeed, it is an unnerving, disquieting film - but it is also a film that sucked me in and moved me and consistently kept me enthralled, so it was worth some of the discomfort that I felt throughout. Sometimes a little pain can open us up and get our energies going more than a lot of pleasure.

As we open, young Jeliza Rose (Jodelle Ferland) lives with her drug-addict parents, somewhere not really explained....but she really lives in a fantasy-world of "Alice in Wonderland" and travel across the sea, made palpable and real when she and her aging rocker daddy Noah (Jeff Bridges) leave her suddenly-dead mother (Jennifer Tilly) for a trip back to Noah's past, in the windswept prairies of Texas. The literary Alice meets the cinematic Land of Oz on the broad prairie landscape as we soon encounter the mad, Wicked-Witch-like Dell (Janet McTeer) and her retarded brother (maybe...?) Dickens (Brendan Fletcher), and the action for the rest of the film revolves around the two dilapidated farmhouses and unspoken mysteries at the heart of childhood and adolescence, forbidden longings and never-revealed secrets that fuel Jeliza Rose's already potent imagination as she retreats into an imaginary and impossible world every bit as potent as those of her drug-addled parents and the mentally challenged pair she meets.

I've rarely seen a film that communicates both the beauties and terror of solitude and solitary myth-making, the sadness of a lonely child underpinning that child's forays into invention and recreating her own desolate world. Ferland is absolutely remarkable, inhabiting not only the overactive and brilliant mind of Jeliza Rose but also her four distinct talking doll heads, who gradually become more and more distinct and "real" as Jeliza's world crumbles - seemingly unnoticed - around her. At the end, it takes a literal explosion of violence to bring Jeliza back to the real world. Maybe.

I'm still sorting through my feelings on this; it was at times rather depressing and difficult to watch, perhaps because of what I'm bringing to it at the moment myself, but it's a beautiful film (unfortunately marred by a DVD transfer that cuts the 'scope aspect ratio down to 1.85, God knows why) and it does, in fact, fit in extraordinarily well with Gilliam's overarching theme of the power of fantasy and imagination and its inability to ever be completely squelched by the nature of ordinary, dull reality. It's far more successful and interesting overall than the higher-profile BROTHERS GRIMM from the same year and it's a terrible shame that it got such a poor release. The director clearly hasn't lost his touch, which makes me all the more excited about IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS coming up.


(tideland a strange trip)
『Swimming through fields and sending daddy on strange vacations. What great characters. A story I wasn't in any hurry to see end. A great imagination of the director through a little girl that takes everything in stride.』

(Reckless Self Indulgence)
『I have enjoyed nearly every Terry Gilliam film, but this one is genuinely HORRIBLE. It wouldn't be worth your time if you were to see it for free, let alone paying for it. And it's not that I don't "get it." It really is, very simply, a mish mash of vague ideas that don't bear fruit with pointless events and images that keep piling up into a big nothing. It just flounders and is ultimately irritating and tedious to get through. We're supposed to be amazed at the young girl's perseverance and tenacity as a reflection on the power of innocence to overcome insanity, profanity, neglect, abuse, etc., but you actually feel like you're watching the child in the film being abused by the film itself and are not able to do anything about it. It isn't clever, it's just kind of sick. I watched Gilliam's introduction after I had seen the film, and it was more entertaining than the actual film to hear him try to explain away the massive and reckless self indulgence that this film is. To me, the introduction revealed that Gilliam himself knows in his heart that this has fallen apart, and yet he can't quite get himself to admit it. It was a lot like listening to Tim Burton trying to explain away the mish mash at the end of his take on Planet of the Apes. "I just go with my feelings." Please. The thing that really hurts about these weak films is how much we know these directors are actually capable of. I believe Gilliam is a brilliant, though very inconsistent, film-maker who has totally missed the mark here. Cinematically, structurally, story wise, it all stinks. There is nothing hip or deep about this film. It was a mistake.』
『A young girl (Jodelle Ferland) lives in a terrifying and gruesome world. When her father (Jeff Bridges) takes her away to a rural farmhouse, she finds herself in a bizarre fantasy world where only her dolls’ heads keep her company. When she meets a mentally damaged man and a tall ghost-like woman, the line between her imagination and reality quickly disappears. Tideland is a spine-chilling tale from the visionary mind of acclaimed director Terry Gilliam.』

(Lots of fun, well worth the purchase!)
『This movie has a good chunk of it all, humor, action, heart, and it comes together real nicely.

The premise is pretty standard but it's delivery is exquisite. If you're maybe a bit weary from all of the endless array of zombie flicks, why not give killer bugs from outer space a spin?』


(Infest me some more!)
『I first saw this on SyFy (swy fwy as I now pronounce it)and thought it was tremendous fun! Usually CGI SyFy premieres are horrible and they hardly keep my interest but this movie really was a standout.

I wouldn't call this film terrific as it has it's faults but it was very entertaining! This film reminded me of the creature films from the late 70's, Empire of the Ants, Food of the Gods etc...

The films plot is based around a swarm of very large "bugs" invading a town. The movie starts off normal with a guy going to work and is about to get fired for always being late and not taking his job seriously when a loud high pitched screech is heard and then he wakes up on the floor covered in webs. He takes the web off his face and is sick immediately. He revives a few people around him when he sees a gigantic beetle and he starts to fight it.

The bug infestation only gets worse and he revives more and more people. This band of people then try to find out where these bugs are coming from and eventually find the "source" of the infestation.

This movie is really played for laughs but it does turn on a seconds notice. One minute your laughing and then the next they jump right into some horror elements. While the film is not gory it does have it's share of nasty effects and it is paced very well.

This movie will remind people of Alien 4, The Nest and the remake of The Thing in some places but it is still a very original flick. If you want to have a good time with an old fashioned style creature film, you will definitely enjoy this film.』


(Buyer beware)
『Ok. So I'm the lone descenting reviewer. The one saying- What movie are these other guys talking about. But these are the facts: This is not a Horror movie. It tries mostly to work as a comedy but fails at this as well. The creatures move aroung like big, wind-up toys. If you're a Horror fan, take a pass on this. I tried real hard to see this movie through but I had to eject it from my machine.
I was lucky. I got this via Netflix and was glad to return it. I recommend you do the same before deciding to purchase.』


(Oh...mister reader? [la de da de da]...)
『In this good monster flick, with humour and neat special effects&gross-out scenes, you'll watch giant bugs take over the world. Well, that's assumed; it's the world of Cooper (Chris Marquette) that you're focusing on.

He's a 'slacker office drone', as stated on the DVD case, and he wakes up in a giant cocoon. Freeing some others, they fight back against bugs that either scamper; fly; or are human/bug hybrids. The fact that they are deaf does help the people in their 'sticky' situations.

Things start almost immediately without explanation; at least I didn't catch it if it happened. Ray Wise also stars as the father of Cooper and he plays the military-type well. The lovely Brooke Nevin stars as Cooper's love interest and the two of them are having fun in this flick.

Both are shown on the cover artwork of the DVD, but it's misleading. I WANTED to see Cooper brandishing a tennis racket and hitting the bugs or Nevin's character with the big gun and blowing the creatures away -- but neither of them took place.

Apparently, this was shown on SyFy (what?). I don't even watch TV or have cable channels; I guess that changed from the more sensible Sci-fi name.

Anyway, it was a good time user (not waster) and I just picked up my copy the other day. Fast-paced and cool...but the ending was almost immediate and disappointing. It opens the door for a sequal, which I'd like to have happen, but I didn't like the conclusion one bit.

Almost forgot: you'll understand that title once you see this movie.』


(Lots of good looking bugs here....and a few humans...)
『The bugs and creature effects takes the cake here. Well done CGI puts this movie
above other average movies. The cast is not too bad, as the script, but my oh my
i love what they did with the bugs. Its almost in the same catagory of
Starship Troopers for bugs.
Wait till you see the human spider crawlies...freaky or what !

Anyway, i would suggest you give this movie a try if your into creature movies.
And also, the director would love to have a sequel done...I say give this guy
a good script and a barrel of money for his sequel.
A Keeper...good for multiple viewing.』

(Complex Supernatural Thriller - Highly Recommended!)
『Night Watch is a surprisingly good Russian supernatural thriller that is only just short of a modern cinematic masterpiece. No plot spoilers from me; the movie follows Anton, an agent of the "Night Watch", who keeps an eye on Dark Forces and protects a 1000 year old truce. There is a "vortex" forming in Moscow that heralds the restarting of the war between Light and Dark and Anton is assigned to find the cause. Along the way, we see that there is another reality that sort of runs concurrently with ours and it is filled with people who have special abilities (vampires, witches, fortune tellers, etc) and who have chosen a side, either Light or Dark. The plot is solid and there are a few really good twists that makes this so much better than the standard horror flick.

The acting is very good, but the dialog is in Russian with subtitles in English. I understand that the theatrical release had much better subtitles that were actually like a part of the movie, but the ones on this version were perfectly serviceable. Where this movie really excels is in the creative use of special effects, which are often subtle and not over done, and in the often inspired cinematography.

Highly Recommended!』


(WHERE ARE THE ANIMATED SUBTITLES ON BLU RAY!!!)
『Movie- 5 stars

The only reason I'm giving this a three is because the Blu Ray does not come with the animated subtitles. The subtitles on the DVD added such a great element to the film! I miss them oh so much and am quite upset that the Blu Ray does not utilize them!』


(Simply Complex on BD)
『It seems hard to follow but it's not; and it's a lot of fun. Creative style takes lead with story close at hand. BDs make films more involving and after loving and forgetting the DVD, the Blu-ray got me! Even though the animated subtitles are gone...as in NOT THERE. Don't look. Just enjoy the A/V of the BD. The expressive subs are on a DVD version, save it.』

(Light + Dark = Grey...)
『NIGHT WATCH is not just another simple "good vs. eeevil" story. It is the battle of light and darkness within the realm of grey reality. A reality where no one is 100% pure and nothing is perfectly righteous. A world of omens, curses, prophecies, and a coming messiah. A planet in balance due to the inability of light and darkness to annihilate each other. In this first film, the powers-that-be must bring an ancient prophecy to its history-altering fulfillment. The delicate balance is about to tip in one direction or the other. The centuries-old truce may be lost. Which side will gain the advantage? What will become of those of us caught in the middle? We'll have to see the entire trilogy to find out! NIGHT WATCH is every bit as grand as THE MATRIX was.I only hope that the next installments don't suffer from the same flatness and redundancy that killed that trilogy...』

(Must Watch Movie)
『This was a very well put together Russian film. I like how they brought in Russian culture and also made the film appealing to American audiences as well. Can't wait for the 3rd and 4th films!』
『Among normal humans live the "Others" possessing various supernatural powers. They are divided up into the forces of light and the forces of the dark, who signed a truce several centuries ago to end a devastating battle. Ever since, the forces of light govern the day while the night belongs to their dark opponents. In modern day, the dark Others actually roam the night as vampires while a "Night Watch" of light forces, among them Anton, try to control them and limit their outrage.』
Night Watchis that rare film that--likeThe Matrix--is not only visually dazzling but creates an intriguing, seductive, and thrilling alternative world. A young man named Anton, after dabbling in black magic to bring back the wife who left him, discovers that the world is populated by fantastical Others (vampires, shape-shifters, witches, and more) who have chosen sides--Light or Dark--in an epic battle. A truce has been declared; both sides watch the other to ensure the truce is maintained. But a prophecy has predicted that a powerful Other will tilt the balance, and Anton--who is himself an Other--finds himself crucial to the prophecy's fulfillment. There's no question thatNight Watchhas weaknesses. Numerous plot holes get glossed over by pell-mell pacing, the visual conception of the apocalyptic battle between Light and Dark is curiously pedestrian (a bunch of knights fighting a bunch of guys in fur with swords--what happened to their various powers?), and more--but, much like similar problems withThe Matrix, it doesn't matter.

The alternative worldNight Watchpresents is so rich with possibilities that it takes on a life of its own, both as an imaginative universe and as a vivid metaphor for the moral complexities of our own lives--for example, though the forces of Light claim to be good, their often brutal actions call their virtue into question, and the forces of Dark make some compelling moral arguments on the topic. The movie is so overstuffed with ideas that many don't get fleshed out, but that only contributes to the sense of vitality and unexplored dimensions. Even the subtitles are used creatively. The impending sequels (this is the first film of a trilogy) may--likeThe Matrix--take all the stimulating possibilitiesNight Watchraises and drag them into the toilet, but for the moment, this is the sort of electric excitement that blockbuster movies promise but so rarely deliver.--Bret Fetzer

(Spoil Alert! Horsemen of the Apocolypse- Not a bad movie- few plot holes)
『I'm into biblical scary/creepy movies and I'd give this movie an 8 out of 10. From reading other reviews, I notice that a few plot holes are the main theme of why the movie isn't so great. But I'm here to help explain them. Being one that I tend to understand movies like this, the ideaology of the movie is that, within each person who were the horsemen- they felt inside.

Kristin who was war; was at war with herself, inside because here she is a beautiful young girl and her adopted father molested and probably raped her. So, all the while thinks, okay... I was adopted and love by this family up to a certain point and then ripped apart. I'm the same way, I've experienced this myself, it's why I know- because I'm at war with myself too at time.

Then there was Garrison Jacobs; who was Pestilence, we find out from Kristin in her jail cell that Garrison was heartbroken and a liar and that he claimed the teacher molested his son, when it wasn't true. But you know what, that's what Pestilence is, spreading diseased excuses or lies because technically- pestilence means plague. But because of who and what he was, it killed him from his own.

As for Corey Kuth, he was dead inside because of his brother not accepting him for who he was. It literally destroyed what he believed in and made his dead from the world. Therefore, he was death and as he put it when he stabbed the man who tried to rob him, "Hell follows me" and in a way, he was the cause of that by letting it get to him so badly. So he put an end to it by killing himself in front of his brother- to make his brother see that hell follows with his death.

Then there is Alex Breslin, who is conquest, he's the conquering hero, the white horse, the leader of the pact. He found these three people from his group therapy and put together a website called, "We are the Nothing" because to them, they feel like they are "nothing" and that no one understands them. That's the plot line of the movie, no one understands them and they punish those who wronged them and video tape it so that when Alex sacrifices himself as the fourth victim, the apocolypse will happen. The veil will be lifted, their videos will be shown and everyone will realize that these four kids were capable of killing others because those others knew how basically kill these kids inside. The loss of Alex's mother and then his father not being apart of his life, what do parents expect? They're kids to be happy and well-grounded, kids feel and this is why they did what they did. They hurt and they hurt the people who hurt them. That's all!

Dennis Quaid on the other hand, I couldn't believe his character as Aiden Breslin didn't even step into his older sons room and check on him more. I know his career is a driving force in the movie because he's a detective but there are moments in everyone's lives where their kids are more important than work, especially when there's been a death in the family.

Good movie, I've watched it five times in two days, trying to understand it and by the 5th time, I finally understood it, even without the plot being a 100% up to par.

(Takes You for a Ride)
『We have another fantastical series of murders here. This time, victims are suspended from hooks and left to "bleed out" as they hang, enmeshed in their rigging. These murders are linked to the destructive onslaught of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. There are a couple of things wrong with this invocation of the Book of Revelation.

First, the suspense/murder mystery genre is really showing the strain with this new entry in the field. It underscores how we are entering a sort of era of Roman decline in which ever more shocking, grisly horrors must be presented in order to keep us entertained and register any sensation at all. A tidy, tuxedoed body in the library won't do any more. As the creators of the CSI series and films such as this seem to think - murders must now be graphic, gruesome, and elaborately taunting and inventive if they are to have any hope of capturing our attention. However this escalation has lead to film murders that no human murderer could hope to accomplish - such as here and in last year's movie "Anamorph." Such films, congratulating themselves on their brutal realism, actually start as impossible absurdities.

To be fair though, Jonas Akerlund, the Director of "Horsemen," does point out in the Director's Commentary that there is a fairly large and growing subculture of people who practice hook "suspension" for the altered state of consciousness such painful dangling brings. He says he explored this subculture in the process of doing research for the movie, but stopped just short of trying the procedure himself. So there is some fact behind the fiction of these murders.

The other problem with the film's premise though is that the Four Horsemen aren't really necessary to explain means or motive. The Biblical reference is just a muddying overlay. It seems a last ditch effort to ramp up the shock value. Akerlund, again in the bonus Commentary, said that some of the Asian editions of the DVD had jackets showing the lead actors on horseback. The Asian cover designers had apparently taken the title "Horsemen" literally rather than as a Biblical allusion. But actually, the actors might just as well have been on horseback. A Wild West backdrop for the crimes would have been just as relevant (or irrelevant) as the Biblical one lowered here.

However, behind all the gory bizarre, this movie makes some interesting points, and includes some arresting performances. Lou Taylor Pucci is very good as the detective's son, and Ziyi Zhang does a fascinating turn as the eldest daughter of the first victim. Overall, this movie will probably leave you with something to think about.』


(Gritty police murder story taken from other movies)
『This movie was trying to be two movies, 'Se7en' and 'The Flock'. Both movies deal with murders done by people of less-than-moral standings. 'Horsemen' takes the religious murders from 'Se7en' and the antagonists from a more ill-understood parts of society (such as the body-mod community) that was seen in 'The Flock' and tries to squish them together.

As you can probably read in the synopsis the main protagonist, Dennis Quad, is a police officer that gets a call about a series of grisly murders that seem to follow a pattern. Also throughout the movie is a sorta sub-plot about his lack-luster parenting skills as he tries to connect with his sons since their mother's death.

The basic plot isn't anything we haven't seen before. The presentation however is something else. The murders are portrayed in a very graphic horror/torture way, with bodies being hung and drained of blood sometimes. I thought that the balance of the whole thing was slightly off. The story with Aidan (or really Dennis Quad cause I couldn't really distinguish him as an actor from his character) and his kids doesn't really do the job of adding a 'middle-man innocence'. 'The Flock' and 'Se7en' both had characters and scenes that were completely removed from the main plot, which added a sense of normalcy that is absent in 'Horsemen'.

My biggest gripe with the movie is that element seen from 'The Flock', where the antagonists come from a little-understood part of society. Tattoo shops and body-suspension were put in a very very poor light. The actual act of voluntary suspension is not about torture but a form of mediation. I wouldn't expect the general public to understand it (actually had an argument with my dad about trying to explain how suspension and other activities from the body-mod community aren't 'just about mutilation'), but a little knowledge and open-mindedness can stop people from assuming every tattoo wearer is out to slice their throat. However when people from these communities are used as the fall-back villain than how can the general public display any acceptance of their practices?

Anyway to finish the review: there is nothing spectacular about 'Horsemen'. The horror comes out too gritty and too intense from the beginning with nothing to really balance it and kinda dies out towards the end which can be seen from a mile away. I only sorta enjoyed it (I really liked Ziyi Zhang's character a lot), but it was just way too close to 'Se7en' and 'The Flock' to have any really shining qualities. If you can look past all that, the actually pacing of the storyline isn't that bad, it's just isn't original.』


(It was okay,but...)
『the surprise ending turned on something that didn't make sense, because of the younger of the detective's sons. I won't say what it was, but made the ending not very believable. Also not believable was Zhang Ziyi's role. But it was a pretty good acting job by Dennis Quaid, and altogether not that bad, just could have been a lot better.

I should add, there is one moment that is absolutely chilling and had me on the edge of my seat, and that doesn't happen too often. This might work better if called a horror flick instead of a cop movie, which was I think what the cover copy said. Different expectations. As a horror film, it's not bad.』


(NYsoldier Boy)
『I never heard of this movie until i went to return one at the redbox. almost every movie was sold out except a few along with horsemen so i rented it and i was suprised at how good it was. the only problem was the ending it could of been better but overall it was a really good movie plus dennis quaid is a really good actor. if not to buy i would atleast rent it but im going to buy it now.』

『At home, hardened police detective Aidan Breslin (Dennis Quaid) has grown increasingly distant from his two young sons, Alex (Lou Taylor Pucci) and Sean (Liam James), since the death of his wife. At work, he finds himself thrust into an investigation of perverse serial killings rooted in the Biblical prophecy of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The White Horseman, a master of deception and the unexpected leader hell-bent on conquest; The Red Horseman, a sharp-witted warrior intent on turning man against man, with an innocence that hides a burning rage within; The Black Horseman, a manipulative and dark tyrant, unbalanced but always one step ahead; and The Pale Horseman, an executioner with disarming strength, determined to spread death through surgical precision.

(Excellent horror film)
『Splinter was one of the best horror movies I've seen in awhile. It's a low budget movie that didn't get the publicity it deserved in 08. It has interesting creatures which seem believable in that world, and the characters are very realistic. The same solutions I came up with to a problem at least one of the characters did too. The acting is also really. I would definitely suggest you purchase this film. It is worth watching.』

(Finally! Something good)
『This more-than-meets-the-eye little "monster movie" isn't just an excellent piece of horror fiction that will actually scare without resorting to cheap montages of girls being tortured to death, it is a master class in how to make a REALLY scary movie with little or no money.

The "monster" is similar to the one in THE RUINS (which, by contrast, is a master class in how NOT to make something scary or even interesting) but, again, this takes that theme and runs with it, putting its unlucky protagonists into an increasingly dire situtation that never once feels forced or contrived.

While others are attempting to rewrite the book on horror films with so-called torture porn, SPLINTER follows the rules and scores an unbroken series home runs without either effort or cheap tricks.

There just isn't a wrong or false note to be had in this thing. It's that good.

I cannot over-praise this film.

Rent-watch-buy-love.

five stars』


(Never Judge a Forest by the Trees)
『As part of your anniversary, you decide to go camping with your beloved. Your mastery of a tent is shaky, however, and your idea of a motel room in a forgotten town leads to a hostage situation with you and someone that happens to have a gun. Along the way you run over some roadkill, only this roadkill flattens tyour tire, has spikes growing out of it, and is not in the mood to stay dead. So, fleeing, you find a gas station that looks like a good spot to breathe. The only problem with breathing is that it takes time, and time isn't your friend hen contorted things come out of the woodwork and start defying the human anatomy as they twist and turn and start feeding on the things hidden inside your flesh.
O the fun.

What seemed like a bad movie on the Sci-Fi channel quickly turned into one of the more horrific movies I've seen in a while when it comes to great ideas. Not only did the people do well in the story, but the creature effects were good stuff and made me want to cringe. That was because they through out the tennis ball treatment (as the director notes in the extras), opting for someone that could contort and make horrific movements while in a body suit. This gave the thing depth, and the gas station element just seemed like a coffin waiting for its prey. Add to that the fact that everyone had a good backstory, that the dialog wasn't the boring stuff you normally get, and that the movie had some really fearful sequences and you have a great thing shot on a decent budget. I had started to doubt that could be done anymore.

In the extra department, the director explains a little about the monster and I thought that was interesting as well. He says the movements are based on the muscle memory of the creature, noting that if it had taken out a crab then it might scuttle - and so on. He also noted how the station was built, how the people were taught to react, and how the suit worked. This all made me happy, and didn't feel like a waste of my time. Normally I skip extras for just that reason, but this just added to the program and made me enjoy it all the more.

If you want some horror and don't mind it messy, this is for you. It has some terror and some bad death scenes, a reason behind the creature, and a mean ending. It also has good acting in it, making the thing seem real, and some comedic moments. Put that all together and you have a show that has been missing for years. Buy this thing if you want horror - you will not regret the decision.』


(All I gotta say is, it's the most cheesiest horror movie out there)
『I thought this movie was going to be good, after reading the back of it, and, come on, the front cover definitely draws you in. My friends and I were excited to see this, but at the end of the movie, everyone just kept saying how cheesy and dumb it was, and what a waste of our time was. I DEFINITELY don't recommend this movie! Please people! For your own sake, save your money for something more worth it.』

(Don't waste your time)
『Once again, we have a horror film that's big on special effects and lacking in storyline. It's like a piece of fried chicken that's mostly batter. Taste great, less filling. It's not even very scary -- movies generally aren't when the monster is always in your line of sight (and have glaring Achilles' heels to boot). Frankly, the special effects aren't even that good if that's all you care about. Most of the time, the crew could be shaking a monster-sized mass of oily rags under a flickering fluorescent lamp, what with the herky-jerky quick edits that make the fungus-fueled beasts nearly impossible to comprehend. The acting is decent; the characters are generally believable (except for the escaped convict's "heart of gold" tale).

But back to the storyline (WARNING: SPOILER COUNTRY AHEAD!). It starts out so great, too, with two genres coming together in seemingly clever fashion -- crime drama and horror flick -- like peanut butter and chocolate. A guy on the run with his drug-addled girl toy hijacks a vacationing couple's SUV and kidnaps them, apparently so he doesn't have to drive. The action unfolds in an old-growth Oklahoma forest (sounds like paradise!) where there is some ongoing oil extraction taking place that has apparently dug up some ancient spores with the ability to resurrect dead flesh and make it thirst for living flesh. Of course, this isn't the official line; Mr. Almost Ph.D. (the boyfriend without a prison stint) has discovered that this psycho mold just feeds off things that have high temperatures -- leading to a lame joke involving kissing, as well as one host organism that launches itself at an overheated car like it's a long-lost lover and, inexplicably stays there long after the "love affair" has cooled off. Speaking of which, how is it possible this dead body in its car hood embrace would be overlooked by the police officer who shows up to bag the escaped prisoner? And since when do firecrackers give off less heat than humans? I'm sure I'm leaving out some inconsistencies, but you get the idea.

If the action had been funnier -- like when the cop shows up and you just know she's going to be turned into a pin-cushion contortionist and everybody and their grandmother is telling her to get back into her squad car -- I might still have been able to recommend this film. After all, with a nod to John Carpenter's "The Thing," there ARE some good special effects and the makeup is above par. But the unfolding of events is generally dull, mainly consisting of reanimated flesh running into glass barriers and the characters showing off their lame survival skills. Eventually, the whole mismatched jigsaw fizzles out, with the one-armed frenemy muttering, "F**k," over and over like he forgot his lines, but more likely because he realized the production budget had hit a wall, which would explain what is probably the least explosive gas station fireball in the history of color film.』

『A young couple retreats to the wilderness for a romantic camping weekend, but the trip quickly spirals into a nightmare when they are carjacked by an escaped convict and his girlfriend. Thrown together by chance, no one can imagine the
terrifying horror that awaits the two couples at a remote and isolated gas station.』
