Devil

5 people are stuck in an elevator, one of them is the Devil

simple premise and simply done movie. I certainly would class this as a B style movie, it doesnt have a big movie feel to it and I dont see repeat viewings for it but it was certainly worth the original viewing. Great if you like Twilight Zone style stories.

Apollo 18

Direct to video, sci fi horror on the big screen

Crap

1/5 - purely for the sci-fi aspect

i do wish they would put this on the star wars blu-rays

 

 

with commercials. cant believe i just found this. its about two hours long and possibly one of the worst things ever

 

How long can you last?

I downloaded this about 5 years ago, in the past 5 years i`ve watched approx 134seconds of this and couldn`t take any more. Its beyond belief.

But then again Vader shouting `Noo!`

my childhood is ruined

Not sure if the second one has been posted in any NBW thread but I couldn't find it......the following is the UK Old Spice advert followed by Mad Man Mansons take on it....Fucking hilarity!

 

 

 

seen this last night

and this is awesome *clap*clap*clapclapclap*

Super 8

edit - Just finished Demons, loved it so much. Got to get more Argento films.

everyone should get more Argento films!

He did for suspense horror what Romero did for Zombie films

2 personal favorites of mine are `Opera` and `The Bird with the Crystal Plumage`

 

There are no words...

 

You can pin point the exact moment of ejaculation.

I still would!

Anyone seen Frenemy? My local Tesco has it on the shelf next to The Hangover, and the DVD cover is designed as identically to The Hangover as possible. I can only assume that the idea is people in a rush will pick up Frenemy by accident, thinking it's The Hangover.

 

 

While in tesco I actually called the wife over and spoke an almost identical line to her!

BUMP

 

First Trailer for Speilbergs Tintin is up. TinTin

 

Visually it looks like The Polar express but with the talent behind it i'm hoping its going to be good

I'm actually a little disappointed, I didn't realise this was gonna be animated :\

Me neither and I'm disappointed too

Looks shit

Insidious

its essentially a film of 2 parts.

the first part is a not too bad thriller/suspense film, similar in style to a 70`s Italian horror. Figures in the background, noises here and there, camera pan following the character through the house. Its not too bad.

The second part is an early 80`s horror film, i`d most compare it to `House`, blackness, smoke, cool creepy monsters and a plot so far gone its not coming back and essentially the complete opposite to the first half.

and that, in my opinion, is where it fails. Its advertised as a paranormal activity style movie from the makers of SAW but essentially its a B Horror which has had excellent advertising campaigns making it look like its a must see horror, but a quick look at the american side and its a PG13! A heart stopping scaring horror thats a PG13? Please!

How did she manage to get Jeff Hardy to do this?

oh, on a second viewing I realise its not jeff hardy, just a guy that looks amazingly like him! awsome makeover!

So that leads me to Battle:LA, I liked the trailer alot, so when the R5 DVD came online I gave it a download, I was going into it with awareness of the negative reviews so it could only be better than I was expecting and it was. Its not a great movie but it was a fun time passer. It really is like Black Hawk Down vs Aliens (not the 1986 movie), that's the best comparison I can make on what to expect. Think too many scenes slowed the pacing and it probably might have been better served by being 10 - 15 mins shorter. Also it really is Aaron Eckhart's movie, he's the only character that they really put any effort into developing, everyone else are just virtually faceless soldiers, only ones that stand apart are Michele Rodriguez cause she's a woman and Jim Parrack, only if you recognise him as Hoyt from True Blood however, neither are given anything to stand out from the pack.

The camera work also was nowhere near as shaky as I was expecting, its shot by Handcam but its not jerky and jarring at all, I expected it to be as jarring as Cloverfield by somethings I read.

I think they have done a good job making each side feel like proper real life army soldiers even though one side are CGI creations.

Really a film for people that like soldiers shooting at each other, you won't get any great acting performances, dialogue or indeed anything you won't have seen before. Its been a box office hit so I wouldn't be shocked if a sequel ever popped up. Its just a fun movie if its the sort of thing you enjoy, I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

Not often someone captures the same thoughts as myself but I got to agree with this.

I felt the film was a bit like spinning around on the spot with your eyes open, its fun to begin with but you realise theres no real substance and its giving you a headache!

SkyLine

Theres been a few older reviews when this film hit the big screen so i wont bore you with any details.

Visually its stunning. The creatures are awsome (even if they are rip off of several other films) and if this film got a decient script and set pieces it would have been great but its all done for show, no substance, all fur coat and no knickers (as they say round these parts)

Worth a watch on a big screen but dont hold out for anything other than eye candy.

Oh and that ending. In my opinion, it was actually quite good. Different but good (if it had ended about 4 minutes earlier it may have been better)

As a barman, this kind of stuff excites me. However I know there'll still be shitarse bartenders who manage to fuck up pouring a pint this way

 

Awsome!

Fucking aye. I remember getting all excited when I finally got the opportunity to watch an uncut version of Driller Killer.

 

I remember saying out loud numerous times, "They actually banned this shit?"

and now this Video Nasty, that will corrupt, deprave and mentally disturb the nation, is available in Poundland!

Accessable to anyone with loose change in their pocket!

No idea what makes the set "special" sorry and I only picked it up as an impulse buy today because its an era that has always interested me and I can just about remember the "under the counter films" shenanigans of the 80's.

Play.com have both special and non-special, only difference I see is a set of Post cards!

Anyway, I`ll pick this up as i`ve always had a fasination with the nasties. i lived this stuff when I was younger, hunting, searching, trading and even going into `secret back rooms` of Video stores to buy banned tapes!

You kids have no idea how easy you have it, what with the internet and those torrents! Imagine waiting 6 years to see a film only to discover its a 4th generation copy and shit! Ah, memories!

Not sure if this has been posted. Apologies if it has, but must say I can't wait for this.

 

Army vs aliens looks awsome!

but at 1.52 of the trailer theres a clip of what I hope isnt the aliens, cause with a year to go and you see the enemy it takes alot away from the film.

Cowboys and Aliens

 

i like the look of that! i half expected it to be a comedy, but that's due to the ridicuous title, looks good.

HOW?

Initially I thought `dodgy B movie` but the names in this and the names associated with this is beyond belief!

There must be more to this project than it looks.

*edit

Nope, just seems its a standard graphic novel adaptation, but again HOW? Ford, Craig, Howard, Spielberg, Favreau, why would they grab what looks like a standard graphic novel?

Doesn`t look all that great or exciting

Deep Rising is a classic.

The CGI is a bit dated now but it is truely an excellent film!

Guys and Dolls

Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra star in the movie adaptation of the stage musical. Made in 1955.

Heres the quick version of the movie:

Guy bets guy he cant get the salvation army woman!

essentially thats it.

Theres a few running plots about a gambling den and another about a marriage but that just seems to be filler around the main plot.

I didnt like it! Whoever thought Marlon Brando could sing needs shot (but hes a very good dancer). The musical numbers are truely awful, most unforgettable, and even the famous `Luck be a lady` song didnt seem to fit in properly. The film felt really, really cheap.

and yet it was nominated for 4 Academy Awards! (must have been a slow year or something!)

I only watched it because my daughter is doing it for her school show next year and I wish I hadn`t bothered. But at least I know what to expect, 8 months of listening to truely bad musical numbers!

oh no!

I watched an episode of the simpsons where homer was the last man alive on earth and we were all zombies!

too far!

*unless its correct at which point I will edit this post!

DJ Kris, i've seen the Michael Caine movie, i remember sticking the DVD on at like 1am expecting to nod off half hour in, 4am i was still there hooked to the TV, great little movie.

 

Any other Jack The Ripper movies about?

 

 

That Caine version I have always loved, spooky I think and well acted, and something you can stick on on a sunday afternoon and get stuck into to.

This was one of those free dvds you got in the paper during the `Collect all 5 Michael Caine films week` and still sells well on ebay!

The real funny thing is all these horror movies coming out on HD Blu-ray directors cut I Originally seen as a 2nd or 3rd generation video tape!

How times have changed!

Who are Foundation X and why do they want to plow money into the UK economy?

I`m suprised there isnt a bigger deal about this being made!

Trick R Treat

Was going to go see Saw 3D but because of the weather decided to stay in the house but still having a lust for some horror I cracked this out. Its an anthology movie, 4 short stories linked together my a mysterious 5th story. Similar in style to Creepshow of the ever excellent Amicus style movies.

Its Halloween night and theres some killings going on, monsters, vampires, werewolfs, mummies, psychos and strange neibours. From the Urban Myths of a school bus taking a plumet down a quarry, to a vampire killing his victims in plain sight and noone caring, to the people who think halloween is just a load of tosh, theres plenty of cliches to get by on.

I grew up on these sort of films, slight twists in the tails of each and enough nods to the classics as you can get, so i really enjoyed it. The wife on the other hand had a different view, boring, predictable and plain! She left about half way through and decided that sleep was better entertainment.

So If you like these sort of `tales from the crypt` movies then fire away, enough to make you smile, but if your into your harder horror then there probably wont be enough to keep you here after the opening story!
