Advantages: A Bucket of Blood and House on Haunted Hill
Disadvantages: The Ghoul

A Bucket of Blood is one of my favourite classics. An enjoyable 'Wax Museum' genre that takes a slightly different approach. This time, the artist is actually very slow witted and has no talent, as you will see. He works at a coffee shop full of poets and art buffs and wants so desperately to join their world. So, one thing leads to another, and, if your familiar with the genre, you know how it goes. House on Haunted Hill is one of the great classics ...
...horror or is it murder-mystery. To answer that question, i would have to spoil it. So, watch and find out for yourself, you won't be dissappointed. Unfortunately, The Ghoul is probably one of Karloff's worst. Karloff is one of my favourites, but he doesn't really act in this one. The story is very slow, and doesn't build up to anything all that shocking. Just some ancient Egyptian Mummy curse, some rich guy trying to be immortal. Nothing I haven't ... Read review

Advantages: I got for 99p (wait you want advantages)
Disadvantages: I wasted over an hour of my life. Well i laughed

...guy who has taken on the body and mind of teh duke. In my mind that pretty much makes him the duke. What else is left. There's nothing horrifying about despite the name. Ha God it's crap. I bought it for 99p and it's not worth any more than that. It's just so unbelievably stupid. This mightn't be the most articulate review ever but if you see this film you'll understand. It's also full of historical inaccuracies to name a few 1) Jack plays a napoleonic ...
...and he ends up beside the sea. 2) This Napolenic soldier dspite being really bad at orientation does eem to be quite clever as he has invented the revolver and given it to the onset of the 19th century 3) The Baron/duke who is apparently austrian but could be Italian if the geography worked out abit better prefers to adorn his castle in French and English standards rather than those of his own nation. But the greatest shock is Francis Ford Coppolla ... Read review

Advantages: Gives a twist to zombie genre
Disadvantages: Not enough gone into it

OZONE = ~Introduction~ **************** Ozone will change the world, literally. ~The Movie~ *************** Detectives Eddie Boone and Mike Weitz are on a stake out when they spot The Crime bosses top henchman and Mike trails him but disappears in the process. Eddie sets out to find his partner but ends up being injected with a mysterious black drug. This new drug has strange effects on Eddie and he is soon in the thick of a huge conspiracy ...
...the 'Brothers'. The Brotherhood of Ozone is a new and potentially world changing sect and Eddie finds himself at its heart. ~Opinions~ ************* I normally avoid zombie movies like the plague, no pun intended, except 'Shaun of the Dead' of course. However this one has a cracking Sci-Fi twist that puts a new spin on the whole genre. The special effects are not that special and the zombie make up is poor. There is next to no background of ...

Advantages: Vincent Price acting, story

...onto why she is in shock and doesn't know what to do. He doesn't want anybody to find out the truth, his mistress wants rid of the girl and the girl's husband keeps on insisting on another doctor's opinion. Made in 1946 this film was directed by Alfred Werker who made a fair amount of films including The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Laurel and Hardy's A Haunting We Will Go. It was an alright film with a fairly engaging story, which was driven ...
...After committing a murder he didn't want to commit he is torn between different options. In one ear his conscience is wanting him to hand himself in whilst in the other Lynn Bari wants to keep their affair secret and will do anything to maintain it. He really is fantastic in this film as is Lynn Bari, however, the rest of the cast aren't so good. The shocked girl's husband Lt. Stewart wears the same uniform throughout the film, which is maybe what ... Read review
