Paranormal Activity: A documentary style horror film. I thought bits of this were really well done, but the characters were far too annoying and stupid. Like most horrors, I suppose. It did however, kind of weird me out a bit, but not enough to class it as a great horror. I give it 3/10

Film: Resident Evil – Extinction (2007)
Resident Evil – Extinction: The Resident Evil set of films really aren’t meant to be taken seriously, so this was just a bit of fun. Zombies, violence, evil corporations, the almost death of humanity. This one has a return of a couple of characters from the second film in the series – Oded Fehr, L.J., […]
Film: Zombieland (2009)
Zombieland: A good action comedy film. I especially loved the rules that the main character used to stay alive, and the video game like action. Extremely gruesome in parts too. I give it 8/10
Movie: Halloween (1978)
Halloween: A horror film with rather a lot of hype behind it. I thought it was okay – but, nothing special. Yes, wow, no special effects, etc – but, it’s still just a boring old horror movie, with parts that are far too predictable. I give it 5/10
Movie: The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
The Bride of Frankenstein: I haven’t seen the earlier Frankenstein movie yet – it was a mistake on my part that I didn’t put a lower priority on this film on my lovefilm subscription..Anyway, I thought the introduction to this film was done a little oddly – I couldn’t tell whether the acting was purposely […]
Movie: Nosferatu (1922)
Nosferatu: I was looking forward to this movie, so, perhaps my expectations were high. It’s probably the oldest movie I’ve watched. I was sorely disappointed. I found it difficult to make sense of the film, and the music was horrendous. I watched the ‘Eureka Entertainment’ restoration version, which I’ve since learned has a really crap […]
Movie: Thirteen Ghosts (2001)
Thirteen Ghosts: One word: Rubbish. And, no, it was not an IMDB top 250, it was a random choice from my ‘hi-def’ list, I don’t really recall adding it, it must’ve been added in the early days of my lovefilm subscription. Fancy special effects, but stupidly crap movie. It used lots of cliches, and stupid […]
Movie: Species (1995)
Species: What can I say – a movie for boys who like girls. But still vaguely interesting. Kind of a horror/sci-fi. Interesting concept of alien lifeform making contact with Earth – reminds me of some old John Varley books I’ve read. The Ophiuci Line specifically – just the bit about how the aliens communicate. I don’t […]
Movie: Black Sheep
Black Sheep: Black Sheep is a comedy horror movie, made in New Zealand and it is rather surreal. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, which in a comedy horror needs to be the case! It’s probably easiest to describe the horror as zombie/were-sheep.I’m not even sure how it got onto my Lovefilm list – I […]
Movie: The Omen (2006)
The Omen: Firstly, I did not realise I had picked the 2006 movie in my Lovefilm subscription, so was a bit surprised at the start. This was a more interesting movie than I expected, so in that way, I was pleasantly surprised. The cat out of bag moments didn’t really catch me, and I don’t […]
